Introduction to The Help by Kathryn Stockett

In The Help, Kathryn Stockett uses her voice to create three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town. These ladies also change the way women — mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends — view one another. There is Skeeter, a white college graduate, whose search for answers brings together some unlikely friends. Aibileen, a proud black maid who is raising her 17th white child for her employer's family. And lastly, there is Minny, Aibileen's best friend, a short sassy woman whose tongue continues to get her in trouble despite her amazing culinary skills. These women weave together a deeply moving novel about the old South and the women who lived in it, through good times and bad. The Help is filled with poignancy, humor, and hope.

Let's give it a try, everyone :)
