In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

This book was amazing. I have never heard narrators who were so skilled in creating characters of such different ages, genders and race. I am really going to miss listening to this on my way to work everyday

Pete Dizinoff never counted on a wild card: Laura, his best friend's daughter - 10 years older than his son, Alec, and irresistibly beautiful, with a past so shocking that it's never spoken of. When Laura sets her sights on Alec, Pete sees his plans for his son not just unraveling but being destroyed. Believing he has only the best of intentions, he sets out to derail this romance and rescue his son. He could never have foreseen how his world would shatter in the process.

I couldn't stop listening to this book. It kept me asking "why?" and "how?" until the very end. The character development was strong and now that i'm finished, I'll miss listening to it. The narrator reads with strong emotion and does a wonderful job "characterising" the characters!
