Kathryn Stockett Quotes
I was born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1969, in a time and place where no one was saying, 'Look how far we've come,' because we hadn't come very far, to say the least. Although Jackson's population was half white and half black, I didn't have a single black friend or a black neighbor or even a black person in my school.

As of August 2012, it has sold ten million copies and spent more than 100 weeks on the The New York Times Best Seller list.
