Book
The help / Kathryn Stockett.
In Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962, there are lines that are not crossed. Black maids raise the white children, but no one trusts them not to steal the silver. But suddenly, three women - two black and one white - grow tired of the lines and, with the civil rights movement exploding all around them, set in motion events that will change Jackson forever.
