The Help

by Kathryn Stockett

In 1960s Mississippi, an aspiring white journalist collaborates with two Black maids to expose the brutal realities of domestic service. Their clandestine project risks everything in a society built on silence and segregation. Stockett illuminates the courage required to speak truth and the transformative power of storytelling.
