5 out of 5 stars A Real Deep South Book.......2001-08-13

I was looking for a good book, when I stumbled upon this one. I must have read this book within a week for I couldn't put it down. The characters are so real, its hard to believe this is a book of fiction. Almost Family is about A black maid named Nebraska Waters, and her employer Vivian Gold, and thier friendship. It mentions the struggles and joys they share. And the similarities they share, though they are very diffrent. You see their relationship not only through them, but through their children and through their acts to one another while overcoming a world of prejiduce. Its a book with vivid images and plots. The ending surprised me, but I was not ashamed. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a book that gives a detailed explenation of what life was like in the deep south, during the Civil Rights movement.
