April 13 - The Help

Mary Beth hosted seven of us for a for our discussion of The Help. It was a lovely gathering with a potato soup and a chili provided by Mary Beth, both of which were delicious. Lisa's artichoke dip appetizer was a big hit, and Darla graced us with a carrot cake from King Arthur flour for dessert.

Everyone loved the book, and we had an interesting discussion about what it means to have maids raising children and taking care of other intimate details of life, among other many, many of things -- a few book related, most not (and some of which will remain unmentioned, Heather).
