The Help by Kathryn Stockett is a powerful and unforgettable novel set in 1960s Mississippi, telling the story of Black maids working in white households and the young white woman who dares to write their stories.
Aibileen is a Black maid raising her seventeenth white child, mourning the loss of her own son. Minny is the sassiest maid in town, whose sharp tongue has gotten her fired more times than she can count. And Skeeter is a young white woman who dreams of being a writer and begins to question the racial injustices she's always taken for granted.
When Skeeter decides to write a book from the perspective of the Black maids, telling their stories of working for white families, she sets in motion a chain of events that will change all their lives forever. In a time and place where speaking out could cost everything, these women find their voices and their courage.
