I just finished reading "The Help" written by Kathryn Stockett.

It is fiction and about African American Women Domestics, telling their story to a middle class white woman. It takes place in Mississippi in the 1960s during the time of the Civil Rights movement.

I rarely read fiction but I could not put this book down. I grew up during this era in Southern California and played with the children of African American women domestics that abandoned the South and moved to California to make a better life for their children. We all lived in the projects. IMO, this book sounds pretty realistic.
