CHAPTER ONE
THE FIRST MAID INTRODUCED IS AIBILEEN, SHE IS THE HELP FOR THE HOUSE HOLD OF THE "LEEFOLT'S". IN THIS CHAPTER AIBILEEN TALKS ABOUT HOW HER SON HAD DIED, HIS LUNGS WERE CRUSHED BY A MACHINE DURING CONSTRUCTION AND HE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD BEFORE SHE EVEN FOUND OUT ABOUT IT. SHE WAS LIVING IN A LITTLE SHACK AND AFTER HER SON DIED AHE HAD'NT COME OUT HER HOUSE IN 3 MONTHS. A CLOSE FRIEND NAME MINNY WOULD COME OVER AND FEED HER AND MAKE SURE SHE WAS'NT AT HOME DYING. MISS LEEFOLT HAD JUST GIVEN BIRTH TOO HER NEW BABY GIRL MAE MOBLEY SO AIBILEEN HAD FINALLY DECIDED TO GET UP AND RAISE THIS BABY. SHE HAD RAISED 17 BABIES BY NOW ONLY ONE BEING HERS.
I think that is extremely that this womans son died so tragically. Whats worse about it is that she is shut in her house and cannot seem to function. Im looking forward to finding out how she recovers later in the story.
