The Only thing I can say about "The HELP" is simply AMAZING!!! I loved the characters and the story. My grandma was from North Carolina and had "help". I could hear her voice in so many of the character's stories. Even though it was a harsh time in our history, HOPE for change always exsists. Do not pass this read up...WONDERFUL.

Amazing story. When I realized the story was one of sexual abuse, I wanted to shy away. However I kept reading because the characters were all so real to me. I could hear my voice saying so many of the same things that Sarah said and saw her actions reflected in my actions with my kids. I felt a part of this book. I just wanted to protect Jordon.
This was a journey of emotions. The subject matter is harsh but I could not turn away. Loved this book.

GREAT READ for a Dog lover. Sheehan wrote a very believable story of a woman walking through grief and finding that life is still worth living. The relationship between Copper and Rocky demonstrates how one animal can bring so much hope to so many......LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

Just starting reading Amy Bloom. I enjoyed the story and hope to read more of her soon. The story is a little choppy but all in all a good read.

When I was about 12 my dad handed me this book because I had said that I was bored. He looked at me and said "Go read, Here" Not saying that it was the most appropriate book but I was hooked. SO I LOVE THIS BOOK. I am 39 years old and still have the same copy I read all those years ago. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK. Thank you Ms. Johnston for writing a book that made me fall in love with reading. I have never been the same since nor have I ever been bored.

This was a fun read. I do not normally read "romance". However, I do like a good story. The whole series is just humorous. It changed my outlook on romance novels. Loved it.

Easy, Fun Read that gets you thinking about what you may or may not have accomplished in the day to day life we all lead. I read this book the week of New Year's and it was a clean no thinking easy read but got me thinking that since it was the first of the year I should make my own list for the year....A book I would share with friends and I am...
