The wildly popular New York Times bestseller and reading group favorite 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

could forever alter their destinies and the life of a small town...
