Patti's staff pick is The Help (audiobook), by Kathryn StockettSynopsis: In 1962 Jackson, Mississippi, two African American maids and one white Junior League socialite--seemingly as different from one another as can be, will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three memorable women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women--mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends--view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope. The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.
Patti says: The voices in the audiobook are wonderful! I felt like I was part of the story as I listened to it. The voice of Minnie is Octavia Spencer, who played the same role in the movie and won an Oscar. Even if you've already read The Help, you should experience the audiobook!
