    England, 1959: Laurel Nicolson is 16 years old, dreaming alone in her childhood tree house during a family celebration at their home, Green Acres Farm. She spies a stranger coming up the long road to the farm and then observes her mother, Dorothy, speaking to him. And then she witnesses a crime.

    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Secret Keeper?

    When I figured out the secret.


    Have you listened to any of Caroline Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I love this narrator! I usually find that female narrators are overly dramatic, Caroline Lee has delivered a stunning performance each time I have listened to her. Great news as Kate Morton is my new favorite author!

    In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys - best friends - are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen, after that 1953 foul ball, is extraordinary and terrifying.

    Alan says: "Outstanding"
    "John Irving's best work ever!"

    A classic since its original landmark publication in 1980, Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States is the first scholarly work to tell America's story from the bottom up - from the point of view of, and in the words of, America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.

    Gavin St. Ours says: "Horrible Editing Ruins Experience"
    "Full of information you didn't learn in school!"

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    I would absolutely recommend this audio book. I couldn't wait for every opportunity to listen, and found the untold history of our great nation shocking at times. This is a book that should be required reading at the high school level.
