The Help
By Kathryn Stockett
Set in Mississippi in 1962, Stockett tells the story of three very different women who risk their reputations, and unite to create a movement that will forever change their small town. Skeeter, a 22-year-old college graduate, Aibileen, a black maid, and Minny, a Mississippi firecracker attempt to break the norms of southern prejudice.
