Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. Aibileen is a wise‚ regal black maid raising her seventeenth white child.

It is 1962‚ and these three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step that forever changes a town and the way women — mothers‚ daughters‚ caregivers‚ friends — view one another.
