Yay!
Remember the time that crazy lady said she was "fixin' to be done?" Or perhaps, she'd be "righ bay-ack?" Y'all just may need a translator...or a nice, tall glass of Sweet Tea or Mint Juleps...either way, the book is awesome.
Give Miss Aibileen and Miss Minny a chance to grow on you. They may "done tawk funny" but they sure are a hoot. Love, love, love these ladies.
Can't wait to see what you all think about the book.
Thanks Miss WK!
