The Help by Kathryn Stockett

August was the first month in which we were unable to meet together.  All but one of us had already read The Help, but we chose to read it again - gladly!  We had originally planned to go see the movie together and afterwards discuss our thoughts regarding the book versus the movie.  However, our dear FAB gal, JoAnn, had surgery on August 4th to remove a left acoustic neuroma (brain tumor).  She has spent all of August recovering and dealing with more pain and setbacks than was expected.  We thank God that she is now having more good days, getting stronger, and that she allowed us to love, serve, and pray her through this past month.  This book club may have formed because of our shared passion of reading, but it has grown into a shared love and concern for one another, too.  You ladies are FABulous and I am proud to call you my friends and fellow bibliophiles!  See you in September!
