Set in the early 1960s the story is told by Aibileen, a black maid who has spent her working life holding back the agonies of raising and loving the white children who grow up to perpetuate the racial divide; Minnie, a black maid who finds amazing resources to deal with her own servitude; and Skeeter, the white woman who learns the aweful truth of the racialized South from the women she writes about.
Fantastic book about courage and a very unlikely set of friendships.
