Be prepared to meet three unforgettable women.

Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter, a new graduate of Ole Miss, who returns home to find that her beloved maid has disappeared; Abileen, a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child; and Minny, Abileen’s best friend, perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. Seemingly as different as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? For what? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
