Change begins with a whisper.

The Help features three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossedeven if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times.The Help is a provocative and inspiring look at what happens when a southern towns unspoken code of rules and behavior is shattered by three courageous women who strike up an unlikely friendship.
