Book signing for Kathryn Stockett

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending Kathryn Stockett's signing for her hit book, The Help. There was a huge turnout, filling the Episcopal Church of the Nativity's Parish Center. Some cast members from the movie read parts from the book, and it was amazing. Big boon for Greenwood!
