In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever. This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn’t always see me.

This acclaimed best seller from popular historian Alison Weir is a fascinating look at the Tudor family dynasty and its most infamous ruler. The Six Wives of Henry VIII brings to life England’s oft-married monarch and the six wildly different but equally fascinating women who married him. Gripping from the first sentence to the last and loaded with fascinating details, Weir’s rich history is a perfect blend of scholarship and entertainment.

Harriet Jacobs’ autobiography, written under the pseudonym Linda Brent, details her experiences as a slave in North Carolina, her escape to freedom in the north, and her ensuing struggles to free her children. The narrative was partly serialized in the New York Tribune, but was discontinued because Jacobs’ depictions of the sexual abuse of female slaves were considered too shocking. It was published in book form in 1861.

Great book!
Revisado: 03-31-13
If you could sum up Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, insightful, disturbing.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl?
When the narrator describes the slave woman who is tied up by her thumbs and whipped to death.
Have you listened to any of Audio Élan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven't. I didn't find her narration very interesting. It actually hurt the story rather than helped it. Eventually I finished the audio book but not without a struggle as I found her voice to be very annoying.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The entire book moved me.
Any additional comments?
Great read! Wish the narrator was different. But I loved the story nonetheless.

Female entrepreneurs are a growing force to be reckoned with. Each year, more and more women take the initiative and start their own business ventures - at twice the rate of men. Women continue to reshape the business world with innovative models, both large and small. So why is there a lack of clear-cut, expert advice aimed at this dynamic female audience?

When Harriet Tubman was born a plantation slave in 1820, her parents hoped she could learn a trade, so she wouldn't have to work in the fields. But because she defended a slave against an overseer, she became a field hand anyway. As she grew strong and learned to survive in the woods and find her way by the North Star, she dreamed of freedom. When she was almost 30, she finally made her escape, but her own freedom wasn't enough.

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary 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.

Absolutely loved it! On my 4th listen!!
Revisado: 11-01-12
Would you listen to The Help again? Why?
Oh yes! I have listened to it 4 times already! I loved this book and the voices and dialects the readers have for each character make the book such a great listen!!! I love the 1960's and this book definitely covers all aspects of that era.
What other book might you compare The Help to and why?
Not sure I haven't read any other book like this one before Ive just seen movies based in the 1960's.
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?
Minnie voiced by Octavia Spencer was my favorite. She made me laugh and made me smile.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listen to it at work but the first time I listened I found myself listening while I was in the car and when I was at home. Anxiously wanting to know what happened next.
Any additional comments?
Great Audiobook!
