The Help by Kathryn Stockett



April Book Club 

The Help details the lives of black maids in the Mississippi 60's and the white women they work for.  This is Kathryn's first book and while it was rejected by 50 publishers it is now a wildly successful novel.  She creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own that forever changes their town, and the way that women--mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends---view one another.  This is a deeply moving book filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and those we don't.
