I finished my book too fast. I'm sorry it's over!
It pulled me into that time period like I was sitting
at Aibileen's kitchen table listening to her wisdom ,
Listening to Hilly at a bridge party wanting to punch her,
Wanting to hug Mae Mobley because her mom wont
love her, and high fiving Minny because she sticks up for
herself!
Then I wondered about myself. Would I do something
as brave as Skeeter and those maids did... in those times?
What about now? Would I do something so risky and
brave now? Would I defend what I know to be right
and true?
I pray for strength and hope that I would.
It's made me think about the kind of mom I am
and the kind of mom I want to be. It makes
me feel like I can use the talents god has given
me to do something great! It makes me want to
improve the relationships I have with my neighbors
and it makes me want to plant roses!
Have you read it yet? What did you think?
Bought it.. read it... loved it! I too thought some of those same questions after reading the book. We will have to talk sometime soon about the book!
