Minny and Abiee's Relationship

Kathryn Stockett developed  Minny and Abileen's relationship by having Minny take care of Abileen for three months straight after Abileen's son Treelore died. Minny made sure Abileen was still breathing and feed her food to keep her alive. On the commute to and from work the ladies sat together on the bus. They attended the same church and went to church functions together. Also both of the white women they waited on are in the same social circle. This elite social group meets every fourth  Wednesday of the month. Early on in this book Ms. Stockett shows  how strong their relationship is. The relationship only gets stronger throughout te book.
