Location: Marriott Marquis Level 8 Lounge, 1535 Broadway at 46th Street

RSVP to RachelLynnWoods@gmail.com

From Publisher’s Weekly:

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.
