Eleven enthusiastic readers appeared on camera to ask Kathryn questions about the novel.      We touched on many different aspects of the book in the hour that Kathryn gave us, including what inspired her to tell this story about a group of unbreakable women fighting for what\u2019s rightfully theirs, the historical research she conducted as she wrote about the South, and the characters she was drawn to the most. She also explained why it took 17 years for her second novel to be published, following the enormous success of THE HELP.
