THE HELPER

In this audiobook Mary Williams is on the brink of destitution. She's lost her job and custody of her child, and is facing losing her home, too. When she reads an unusual advert from Eric, it appears to be the solution to her troubles. But, actually, Mary's situation is going to get much worse. Julia Atwood narrates the story from Mary's point of view, skillfully creating a character who is downtrodden but still has inner strength and the will to survive. Evan Sibley narrates Eric's point of view, crafting a disturbing protagonist. The two narrators are well balanced; their voicings of their respective characters complement each other and help build the story's tension.
