After reading "The Help", I wondered if anyone knew if the author was in a sorority while at the University of Alabama?

Yes. I am proud to say she is a Phi Mu from the Alpha Zeta chapter at the University of Alabama. Was it a good book? I have yet to read it, but would love to do that this summer.

She was featured in our national magazine "The Aglaia" several months ago. I've been meaning to check it out.

ETA: I'm number 143 in the list for the audio book in my county library. There are 49 holdable copies. The e-audio book has 6 ppl on hold too. I am number 498 with 274 holdable copies for the actual book. For the large print: #388 w/ 38 holdable copies.
(FYI-I'm courteous. I canceled all of these holds except the audio book).

There is a purple quatrefoil-esque shape on the cover for the audio.

Thanks for the answer - after reading the book I felt like she must have been in a sorority - she did a great job with this book - hope she will write many more.
