HELP, THE by Kathryn Stockett - SIGNED LIMITED EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Kathryn Stockett.Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women:
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.
