Sunrise at the American Market , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 592min

Six years ago, a group of complete strangers began gathering each morning for coffee in a convenience store, The American Market, on the outskirts of Washington, DC, and a community was born. Their story is chronicled by Charlie Pratt, son of a wealthy New England family. After a legal education that left him marginally disinterested in law, Charlie moved to Washington where he lived a comfortable and solitary life until he (and his fat and affable Black Lab, Flynn) became a central player in the morning group at the Market. The bonds between members of the group began to solidify when Henry, the proprietor, removed the entire rack of goods in the front of the store replacing them with a table and folding chairs. It was Henry who organized the group and turned his otherwise predictable convenience store into a salon where all topics, serious and inane, were on the table. In time, the Market became that safe place we all seek where Charlie, Henry, Simone, Maurice, Alex, and Claire could simply be, freed of judgment, liberated from externally imposed identities. In that extraordinary setting, things began to happen, crystalizing in a passionate, potent, and disjointed relationship between Charlie and Claire beginning when they attend a fabulous, confrontational, and unforgettable New England wedding between Jennifer Strong and Samantha Ecktington. Each of the characters seated around the table face challenges with money, relationships, the nature and shape of their community, and overshadowing all, an encroaching, insurmountable medical crisis. Questions of fidelity, fate, a murder investigation pushing Charlie to get over his reluctant lawyer status, and compassionate life termination become transformative, particularly for Charlie, as they become that best of all families, a family of choice. Prepare to get to meet six remarkable and complex characters who are at once quite unique, and, if one has the courage to observe, ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Gerard Reynolds.
