The Help by Kathryn Stockett
A phenomenal
international bestseller (that inspired the Oscar nominated film) by Kathryn
Stockett.
Enter a vanished and
unjust world: Jackson, Mississippi, 1962. Where black maids raise white
children, but aren't trusted not to steal the silver . . .
There's Aibileen,
raising her seventeenth white child and nursing the hurt caused by her own
son's tragic death; Minny, whose cooking is nearly as sassy as her tongue; and
white Miss Skeeter, home from College, who wants to know why her beloved maid
has disappeared.
Skeeter, Aibileen and
Minny. No one would believe they'd be friends; fewer still would tolerate it.
But as each woman finds the courage to cross boundaries, they come to depend
and rely upon one another. Each is in a search of a truth. And together they
have an extraordinary story to tell...
