Celie has grown up poor in rural Georgia, despised by the society around her and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister, Nettie, from a similar fate, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante, married off to an older suitor, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband. In an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear, Celie begins writing letters directly to God.

Story
The film Rabbit-Proof Fence is based on this true account of Doris Pilkington's mother, Molly, who as a young girl led her two sisters on an extraordinary 1,600 kilometre walk home. Under Western Australia's invidious removal policy of the 1930s, the girls were taken from their Aboriginal families at Jigalong on the edge of the Little Sandy Desert, and transported halfway across the state to the Native Settlement at Moore River, north of Perth. Here Aboriginal children were instructed in the ways of white society and forbidden to speak their native tongue.

Story
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

His mother steers him towards a university education, but with just six months of his degree to go, he signs up for the AIF, driven by a desire to serve his country and plain wanderlust.

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Goldengrove’s towers and twisted chimneys rose at the very edge of the peaceful Weald, a stone’s throw from the poisonous marshes and merciless waters of Rye Bay. Young Tabby Palethorp had been running wild there, ever since her mother grew too ill to leave her room. I was the perfect choice to give Tabby a good English education: thoroughly respectable and far too plain to tempt her lonely father, Sir Kit, to indiscretion. I knew better than to trust my new employer with the truth about my past. But knowing better couldn’t stop me from yearning for impossible things.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Enter a vanished and unjust world: Jackson, Mississippi, 1962. Where Black maids raise white children, but aren't trusted not to steal the silver....
There's Aibileen, raising her 17th white child and nursing the hurt caused by her own son's tragic death; Minny, whose cooking is nearly as sassy as her tongue and white Miss Skeeter, home from college, who wants to know why her beloved maid has disappeared.
Skeeter, Aibileen and Minny. No one would believe they'd be friends; fewer still would tolerate it. But as each woman finds the courage to cross boundaries, they come to depend and rely upon one another. Each is in a search of a truth, and together they have an extraordinary story to tell....

Brilliantly written and truly wonderful narration. Moving, intelligent, and timelessly relevant. The characters came alive and inhabited my heart. Wished it was longer. Laughed and cried.

Very very good
This book took 5 years to write, and then another 4 years to get published, after that it sold 7 million copies and stayed at the top of the best seller list for 100 weeks, all the publishers that rejected this should get the sack.

Fantastic book
One of my memories of living in California, was when I was aged 6. It was 1963.
We had to catch h the bus. As my mum struggled on with myself, my sister and my baby brother, there were no seats. I ran up the aisle and yelled back, " mummy there are seats here!" She said in a quiet voice, " only black people sit at the back of the bus". Perhaps that's why this story resonated so vividly for me. I played with all sorts of children, black, white, Vietnamese, Español, in our neighborhood . No one cared. Children are accepting of everyone. The funniest thing is , my mother was born in Indian of French Portugese parents. So not exactly blond haired and blue eyed. A good woman, but a scared one.

Freedom, women, stories
The Help is an amazing story that opens anyone s eyes about what these beautiful women were put through,
I didn’t want it to end.
I believe the last few sentences were so touching
I really felt love for Minnie and the others
Miss Skeeter was brave.
it seemed like everyone had to part , go their own way.
A must for anyone who likes fiction but also supplies some facts of the era and what it was like to live in Abaleens shoes.
