Plot: Despite her family's financial struggles and her desperate need for work, African-American maid Aibileen Clark, a middle-aged woman, has spent her life caring for white children. Her only son, Minny Jackson, is also African-American, and she recently lost him. Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, a young white woman, recently returned home after graduating from college only to discover that her childhood maid had vanished without explanation.
