about 70's small town in beautiful applician mts. Story of an italian girl who finally finds love after being unmarried for so long. It is really great because the references etc. and mannerisms about italian families combined with added recipes actually in books are so realistic. Its a great love story too. Made me cry!

This book was such a doorway into the relationship to these womaen in a time we have very little understanding about. The south at this time was not a very pleasant place for a "negro" woman to live. But, that being said, that time in period does not work without these two groups of women working hand in hand to raise the southern children. The relationships and personalities really were amazing in Stocketts book. I enjoyed it immensely as a woman and mother.
