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.

I was so invested in these characters. The first 2/3's of the book sucked you in and it was a pleasure to read. However, the last 1/3 of the book struck me as hurried and rushed. It was almost as though Ms. Sockett was passed her deadline and abruptly ended. So many questions needed to be answered and the after the set-up the questions that were answered were weak. I recommend this book for the ending left me unfulfilled. Interesting   March 11, 2010 Monique Anderson (SC) I would recommend this book. Very interesting historical fiction. It was eye opening to me. Quick read and one I did not want to put down. Thoughtful   March 11, 2010 Lee M. Jung One of the most thoughtful books since "To Kill a Mockingbird". Set in a small town in the Deep South this book explores the race relations of it's time. I found the book to be interesting, funny, and sad all at the same time. Each character is developed in a way to make you think. I truly enjoyed this book. A must read! Lovely!   March 11, 2010 AprilMayJune What a wonderful story! So funny, so moving. Everyone in my book club loved it and it generated plenty of discussion. Wonderful and thought-provoking   March 11, 2010 Rachel McElhany (http://chaosisafriendofmine.typepad.com) This book was truly wonderful. Set in 1960s Mississippi, it's the story of white society women and the black maids they employ. All sides of the relationship are explored, good and bad. In a lot of ways the domestics were just a small step above house slaves. It's told in three different voices - Aibileen, an older maid; Minny, a hot-tempered maid who has trouble keeping quiet and Skeeter, a Junior Leaguer who doesn't fit in with her circle of high-society friends. This book had quite a bit of humor in it too; it was just fantastic all around.
