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, Abileenβs 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.
