Her childhood memories are only of blacks as domestic help for white people which she assumed customary affair. In her interviews she recounted her experience as a child in South where Jackson had equal population of white and back, though she never saw any black receiving education. At first Stockett was reluctant to write about the dynamics of this relationship as she knew it would be heavily criticized. The Help highlights the relationship dynamics between whites and their African-American domestic help in South. The inspiration for the novel is Stockett’s own childhood. The novel became a milestone in Stockett’s writing career earning a tremendous praise for writing on a unique subject matter. After rejection from 60 literary agents consecutively, eventually agent Susan Ramer took upon the task. It was not easy for Stockett to find a willing literary agent to represent her work. After five years of hard work on her personal writing project she finally had The Help published in 2009.
