READ THIS: "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett
Set during the birth of the civil rights movement, this engaging book tells the story of the black maids who served the priviledged white families in the South during that tumultuous time.
A rich blend of historical fact and utterly believable fiction, "The Help" is 400+ pages of bliss for the critical reader.

The Moth is a live storytelling program.
Some of the stories are funny, some are touching, many are both.

Edie Falco has done it again. "Nurse Jackie" a bundle of contradictions. She's a dedicated caregiver.... and a drug abuser. She's a hard ass.... and yet compassionate as hell.
And Falco isn't the only standout on this show. There's not a weak link in the cast, with Eve Best as the self-absorbed Dr. O'Hara, Merritt Wever as Jackie's young trainee, Zoe, Peter Fanicelli as the wildly inappropriate Dr. Fitch "Coop" Cooper, and Anna Deavere Smith as the strict hospital administrator Gloria Akalitus.
Season Two begins on Monday, March 22 at 10pm et/pt. Season One is available on DVD.
