Product Description
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed. But her new boss has secrets of her own. Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.
