    Awh, I really liked this. It was so inspirational and pretty. ^-^
    I've never read The Help, but I've been wanting to. This just makes me want to read it even more. Very nice. (:

    This was so beautiful, and like. Just. Aw.
    I understand what you did with the grammar, it made me think of a young southern girl, (or woman, y'know, since she's got kids and all) and it went really well with the story, I understood you perfectly. And the layout was really simple and pretty, and the banner went well. The writing was so beautifuly written, and other than the things that you did on purpose, there were no other obvious mistakes in any way. Great job on this, it made me think. =)

    This kinda reminds me of "The Secret Life of Bees," like the main girl's maid. xD But I loved this! I get the feeling the girl's older now, and she's kinda looking back on it. And it made me really sad, that the mom thought colored people carried diseases, and Lilly Mae actually had to clean the bathrooms. But I could understand their relationship. She was like the girl's second mother, which was really sweet. I liked this quite a lot. [:

    First of all, I just wanted to tell you that the layout is adorable and I love the mismatching patterns. It shouldn't work but somehow it does. It really does look great.

    Aww, this chapter kind of made me feel sad. It was sad that racism back in those days were breeder through ignorance and naïveté which of course, led to racism. It was sweet that Lilly Mae took care of the main character more than anyone else, and her hidden affection and care towards Lilly Mae is obvious in the way how the MC talks about her. I like the character's voice and it kind of reminds me of an old, Deep Southern accent, kind of the way how the character Scout talks in the book 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. This was really good, sentences flowed nicely an her speech is definitely very reminiscent of that time period. Well done! :D

    This was beautiful.
    I could picture everything, the details were wonderful.
    It flowed and sounded smooth, yet had that accent to it.
    In a way.
    I loved it. You are very talented<3

    I really loved the layout for this c:
    But anyways, onto the actual story..
    I loved it. It was just beautiful and flowed so well, and you could imagine the type of family the girl came from. I could imagine the snobby mother, and I could picture Lilly Mae cooking with a small smilw on her fface.

    I just really loved this. It was amazing, you are such a great writer.

    I've never seen The Help, so this is compleely original to me.
    This is very sweet, nice. I like how the main character feels towards colored people, and how she was raised more by Lilly Mae than her real mother. I like your voice. I'm assuming this is dated a while back, and the writing style fits it. All of the words, expressions used, just fit the time. I didn't see many spelling/grammar errors, which is really good. And I really like the layout. Beautiful, just beautiful.
    Hope this was helpful!

    First off I'm going to private message you my address so you can send me your copy of The Help to read and mail back. :)

    This was utterly perfect in every way; from the repetition to the flow to the fact that I loved this.

    The layout is very pretty as well. <3

    This was absolutely one of the most beautiful things I have ever read here on mibba! I didn't see any errors or spelling mistakes, the flow was just right and I'm assuming that this was set back awhile and I could tell that by the way you wrote it. Not very many writers can make it sound like that time, but you did. I love this because when I was little I was more my aunt's kid than my mom's because my mom worked a lot. This is amazing!

    Oh man, I'm weak in the knees with tears in my eyes!
    This was absolutely beautiful!<3
    I absolutely adore the way you don't over describe things...my imagination went absolutely wild with this story.
    I was able to imagine the girl now, Lilly Mae, the girls mom and the house and neighborhood, and oh gosh.
    I love this<3
