: Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women: :
: :
: Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from :
: Ole Miss. 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. 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. :
: :
: Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white:
: child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who :
: died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little :
: girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken. :
: :
: Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest :
: woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't :
: mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a :
: position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But :
: her new boss has secrets of her own. :
: :
: 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. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define:
: their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed. :
: :
: 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. 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. :
