The Help by Kathryn Stockett

From the book jacket:
Three ordinary women about to take one extraordinary step...
Skeeter age 22 - The year is 1962 and with that degree from Ole Miss she wants more than her mother's dream of marriage and weekly bridge.
Aibileen - a black maid - steady, wise and emerging as a voice for many - devoted to the child Mae Mobley whom she looks after.
Minny - An excellent cook with opinions and temperament that both sustain and undermine her.

Lines are about to be crossed: racial, economic, social. A first time novel which illustrates in human detail the steps toward change and the price - large and small.
