So, I took a little detour from the list. I made a last-minute substitution.
I was persuaded by this article : http://www.more.com/kathryn-stockett-help-best-seller to add The Help by Kathryn Stockett to the top of my list. And I'm glad I did.
I wasn't planning to read it. I know, every single book club in the country read it and loved it last year. What can I say? I was busy last year.
But then I read how Stockett was turned down by 60 literary agents, and just kept going because she believed in the story she had to tell. And I'm glad she did.
