Stockett, Kathryn. (Author).

Summary: In Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962, there are lines that are not crossed. Black maids raise the white children, but no one trusts them not to steal the silver. But suddenly, three women - two black and one white - grow tired of the lines and, with the civil rights movement exploding all around them, set in motion events that will change Jackson forever.
