The Help

The Help is the #1 New York Times bestselling novel and the inspiration for the Academy Award-winning film—a timeless and universal story about the lines we follow and those we don't—and has been named one of PBS's The Great American Read's best-loved novels.

Aibileen is a black maid in 1962 Jackson, Mississippi, who has always taken orders quietly, but she has recently become unable to suppress her resentment. Her friend Minny has never been one to hold her tongue, but she is now forced to keep secrets about her employer that have rendered her speechless. Skeeter, a white socialite, recently graduated from college. She has a lot of ambition, but she's considered a failure because she doesn't have a husband.

Together, these seemingly disparate women collaborate on a tell-all book about working as a black maid in the South, which could forever alter their destinies and the life of a small town.
