The #1 New York Times bestselling novel and basis for the Academy Award–winning film.

Aibileen is a black maid in 1962 Jackson, Mississippi, who's always taken orders quietly, but lately she's unable to hold her bitterness back. Her friend Minny has never held her tongue but now must somehow keep secrets about her employer that leave her speechless. White socialite Skeeter just graduated college. She's full of ambition, but without a husband, she's considered a failure. Together these seemingly different women join together to write a tell-all book about work as a black maid in the South, that could forever alter their destinies and the life of a small town.

absolutely loved loved loved the story

amazing performance, Amazing Story absolutely loved the acting. will definitely read it again. better than the movie

ONE MY FAVORITE BOOKS!

You will LOVE this book, it's impossible not to. I'm partial, as my family is 100% Southern (Alabama and Mississippi), and I already knew a lot of the language and mannerisms from being raised by Southern parents (in Philly, no less! LOL). This is amazing, the narration totally bring it to life, to a whole new level. I've listened to it in the double digits, and love it each and every time :)

The Help

Powerful, funny, eye opening. The way this story is told, you feel like you are there, like you know the characters, the emotions this book illicit are powerful and heart rending. A must read for all generations.

Fantastic!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this! I knew what was going to happen at the end since I seen the movie 1st. Still I cried, picturing a innocent little girl, begging her not to go!

Great listen!

I'm listening to this for the third time. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's also very informative for those who weren't exposed to that kind of life in the early 60's.
