it was ironic to ask if she felt the help loved her. it would have been beneficial to ask how her love for minnie as a child changed into whatever she chooses to call it as an adult.

I haven't read the book, but did watch the movie. I think I simply don't buy what this woman is trying to sell. Even though it's smoothed over with a shiny veneer, none of it is quite right. It's just too pretty of a package wrapped in a silver bow.

It's her brother's maid. And it seems like a bullshit suit to me. Even if the name and image is similar, the story takes place in the 60s the woman became an author. An author is allowed to take inspiration from her life. It would be awful if she wins this suit.
