The Butler

The Butler Jacket Cover The controversial new movie “The Butler” opened nationwide in theaters last Friday. The audiobook version of the story is now available at AudiobooksNow and is read by Forest Whitaker, Oprah Wimphrey and David Oyelowo.

The story is based on character, Cecil Gaines tenure serving as a butler in the White House during eight presidencies. He is witness to not only dramatic events in American history, such as the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, but personal issues for each President and their families. One could compare the exposure to such private familial situations as being the proverbial “fly on the wall”! The novel takes literary freedom in using actual events and expanding them for added drama.
