The Help: Monday, July 26, 6 pm

By Kathryn Stockett

Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women: In Jackson, Miss., 1962, there are lines--lines that are not crossed. Black maids raise white children, but no one trusts them not to steal the silver. Black maids clean the toilets, but they have their own out back. Black maids cook the food, but they eat theirs in the kitchen. Everyone knows there are lines, and everyone stays within the lines. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed. Join BookTalkers to discuss The Help by Kathryn Stockett, a book that has spent months on the New York Times’ Bestseller list, and a book that everybody is talking about!

Looking ahead:  The BookTalkers selection for September 14 is Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton.  October 11, in conjuction with the C.S. Lewis Festival’s theme “Lewis & Tolkien”, the book for discussion will be The Hobbit.

BookTalkers discussions begin at 6:00 pm in the Armstrong Conference Room
