The Help
by Kathryn Stockett
About the book
In 1960s Jackson, Mississippi, three women—two Black maids and a young white socialite—form an unlikely alliance to write a tell-all book about working for white families. Their clandestine project exposes the complex web of power, fear, and humanity that defines their segregated world. A story of courage, friendship, and finding one's voice in the face of injustice.
