The Kitchen House

by

A "New York Times" bestseller and word-of-mouth phenomenon, this is perfect for book-groups and fans of "The Help" and "The Postmistress". 'You must not become too friendly with them,' she said. "They are not the same as us.' 'How?' I asked. 'How are they not the same?' 1791: When seven-year-old Irish orphan Lavinia is transported to Virginia to work in the kitchen of a wealthy plantation owner, she is absorbed into the life of the kitchen house and becomes part of the family of black slaves whose fates are tied to the plantation. But Lavinia's skin will always set her apart, whether she wishes it or not. And as she grows older, she will be torn between the life that awaits her as a white woman and the people she knows as kin... Hide synopsis

Must read

by emily8 on Apr 26, 2012

My opinion is this is a much better book than "The Help" and we all know how highly that book is rated and I honestly believe this book would make a fantastic movie. I have already shared it with 2 friends and they loved it too! This author MUST write more; she has outstanding talents. More

Wonderful story

by granmommy on Mar 18, 2012

This book showed another view of the slave and plantation days. The two worlds, (black and white) can be blended as the main character tried to do. This is a book I will recommend to my book group. It will be great for discussion. More
