There's so much background information available about "The Help" and the author. Kathyrn Stockett's website has reader guides for bookclubs and other information that will make the book more meaningful. I especially enjoyed the Q&A on her website. That and Katie Couric's interview (below) provide insight into the author and her life in Mississippi.
Guess what? There's a movie! The movie is slated to be released in August 2011, too.
