What to Expect When You're Expecting
I finished "The Help" last night. It had me rolling with laughter at times, literally crying with sadness at others because although it is fiction, we all know that the things in that book happened and it makes me so sad to think that the colour of someones skin could make such a massive difference to their life back then.

I've just finished this too - the sad thing is I worked on a girl scout camp in Mississippi about 15 years ago with a friend who is black - we asked where we could go for a night out & the other girls couldn't think of anywhere where we would both be welcome! I also stayed with a couple of families who only lived a couple of miles apart, the white family lived in a mansion and the balck family lived in little more than a shack - there was a frog in the bathroom.
