Summary

In 1960s Jackson, Mississippi, an aspiring young white writer secretly interviews Black maids about their experiences working for white families. As the women share their stories of indignity, love, and resilience, the resulting book threatens to upend the town's rigid social order and put everyone involved at risk.
