Pretty sure this is the 99th book for the year. Kathryn Stockett's "The Help" is an excellent novel about Mississippi in early 1960's. The story is about two black maids and a white woman who was raised on a plantation. The white woman is fresh out of college and wants to use her journalistic skills. A hint from an editor in NY gets her interested in making a difference. She starts by telling what it's like to be a black maid to a white family so she needs to interview the maids. Not an easy assignment. In fact, very dangerous for all of them.
