Colson Whitehead‘s powerhouse novel is already a National Book Award Winner and was a #1 New York Times bestseller. Today it became a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Â The story chronicles the adventures of a young slave named Cora as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. In this imaginative tale, she’s using an actual underground railroad (staffed with engineers and conductors) to make her escape. Narrated by Bahni Turpin, this audiobook is not to be missed.Â
In this heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of eight families that spend most of their income on rent and are behind on payments. How is it that renters are increasingly finding themselves using more than half of their income on rent? Desmond takes a deeper look. His coverage is bound to change the way you think about poverty in America. The audiobook is narrated by Dion Graham.
