" The testament to a really good book is that when you get to the last page, you immediately go on Amazon to see if a sequel or follow-up from the author is in the works. That&amp;#039;s how we felt after finishing The Help, the best-selling book turned box office sleeper hit by Kathryn Stockett. And unfortunately, there&amp;#039;s still no sequel. But there is something just as good. Elizabeth and Hazel, the new book by David Margolick out this week. Elizabeth and Hazel is about two women, one black and one white, during the civil rights era. But unlike The Help, which was fictional, this read is a totally true story. It centers around the two subjects of an iconic photograph\u2014one of the most famous from the 1950s. It was taken on the day the Little Rock, Arkansas schools were desegregated.  Hazel is the white student at left who&amp;#039;s jeering at Elizabeth, the black student on the right. Margolick recounts the story of that fateful day and the year of the &amp;quot;Little Rock Nine&amp;quot;, as the black students who desegregated the high school. And most fascinating, he writes about how these two women, who continued to live just a few miles apart years later, eventually reconciled and even became close friends. The section is how Elizabeth forgave Hazel is worth the price of the book alone. At least one Cosmo staffer is already immersed in the book and we think you&amp;#039;re going to be hooked too. You can pick up Elizabeth and Hazel at any bookstore or order it on Amazon. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
