The Help *Book Recommendation*

I would recommend reading The Help because it is a wonderful story about how black maids in the 60's were viewed and treated. Aibileen and Minny are two black maids who work for white families and are maid very little to watch their children, clean their houses, cook, and tend to guests. Skeeter, a white single woman living with her parents after getting out of collage, sees black maids differently than her friends and family. She was raised by her black maid, Constantine. Skeeter doesn't want to spend her days being a stay at home mom and let a man go to work, she wants a job as a writer. In order to do that, she teams up with Aibileen and Minny to hear their adventures of raising different white children and how they put up with their mothers. But once people hear that two black women are writing a book and trying to get it published, will it be the end of their attempt to show people how cruel the white women they work for really are? Or will they finally be heard with the help of Skeeter?
