Product Description
The wildly popular New York Times bestseller and reading group favorite
Aibileen is a black maid in 1962 Jackson, Mississippi, who's always taken orders quietly, but lately she's unable to hold her bitterness back. Her friend Minny has never held her tongue but now must somehow keep secrets about her employer that leave her speechless. White socialite Skeeter just graduated college. She's full of ambition, but without a husband, she's considered a failure. Together, these seemingly different women join together to write a tell-all book about work as a black maid in the South, that could forever alter their destinies and the life of a small town...

Worth the read November 23, 2009
Deb (Albuquerque, NM United States)
This is a terrific story. I didn't want the book to end. I have not felt this way about other books in a very long time. Time is a valuable resource to invest and this was worth the time.

Reminds us how far we've come... but also, how far we still have to go November 23, 2009
M. M. WEYER (Hollis, Maine United States)
I've read this book three times. The story is so well written. Just as real life issues and emotions are never black and white, Ms. Stockett reminds readers that the civil rights struggles of the past and current day were complicated and emotional. This story made me want to continue to work toward civil rights and justice for all people. This should be required reading for all public school teenagers.
Loved reading this book! November 23, 2009
Elizabeth Frist (Northport, NY)
Each character taking a turn to recall events had her own distinct voice. I loved each one.
The Help is a really enjoyable, loving and learning experiencethat deserves all of its accolades and awards.

It is rare to find such a beautifully written novel. I paced myself while reading it, just to be able to enjoy it a while longer.
