Last night I attended a discussion and book signing featuring Kathryn Stockett, author of The Help. The program was held at the Unity Temple on The Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri.
A #1 New York Times best-seller (and soon to be movie) The Help tells the story of three very different, extraordinary black women in Mississippi during the 1960's, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. "From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them."
