About this item
The Help is narrated by Jenna Lamia, Bahni Turpin, Octavia Spencer, Cassandra Campbell. Each woman is perfectly cast for each of the characters she plays, but Bahni Turpin as Miny is just extradorinary. The Help is a must listen in my book!

She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger.

Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi.
