Black Maid Sues 'The Help' Author

A lawsuit against Kathryn Stockett, the author of best-selling novel "The Help," has created an Old South family feud of sorts, pitting brother against sister in a dispute about the real-life identity of one of her fictional characters. Ablene Cooper, the longtime nanny for Stockett's brother, has filed a $75,000 lawsuit against the author, claiming she was upset by the book that characterizes black maids working for white families in the family's hometown of Jackson, Miss., during the 1960s.
