Intro to the Author

Kathryn Stockett was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi. She later attended and graduated from the University of Alabama where she obtained a degree in English and Creative Writing. She pursued a career in the magazine business in New York. She is currently living in Atlanta, Georgia, with her family.
As this is Ms. Stockett's first novel, there isn't really other works with which to compare The Help. That being said, she's made a great break out into the world of published novel writers with a book filled with round and full characters that will endear themselves to you.
Enjoy this novel (quickly) so we can discuss it on October 14th at Ms. S's home!!
