From New Mills to New Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 687min
In this scintillating, heart-wrenching, and tear-eliciting autobiography From New Mills to New Life, Joshua Spencer shares his extraordinary experiences from birth to his 50th year. It starts in Albion, Montego Bay, where the author was born, but where he spent the least of his life of half of a century. It then extends to several other areas of his native land, but finds as its pivot a small, impoverished district known as New Mills, where he spent much time in a little shamble he called home with his grandmother. A home that lacked the basic facilities and necessities such as electricity and water.From New Mills to New Life radiates back and forth to its pivot, but in an orderly, sequential fashion, until it culminates in Canada. It exposes all the challenges and successes that the author experiences in both jurisdictions, including family challenges, being on the verge of bankruptcy, and so on. It describes quite liberally, his weaknesses and his strengths, those challenges he conquers, and those he approaches optimistically in the future.You will cry intermittently, laugh regularly, and even get deeply saddened sporadically, as you share in this masterpiece From New Mills to New Life. ungekürzt.

Tori hasn’t spoken to Brooke in years and doesn’t feel comfortable returning to attend the services. Then, cryptic text messages from Brooke’s cellphone change her mind.Attending the funeral, Tori confronts a past that still haunts her and questions the text messages haunting her now. Her investigation leads to a fact she suspected all along: Her old friend didn’t commit suicide, but was murdered. There’s no shortage of suspects either: Brooke’s angry husband who instigated a fight the night she died; Brooke’s high school principal who denies rumors they were having an affair; and a town sheriff who shares a stormy past with Tori and is blocking her investigation at every turn. The only witness appears to be Brooke’s five-year-old daughter who hasn’t spoken since the tragedy and continually draws the same graphic picture of the night her mother’s body was discovered hanging from that old water tower.Tori knows one of them has Brooke’s cellphone and is texting her from it. Others are convinced it’s Brooke reaching out from the great beyond. Either way, someone from her past is playing a deadly game of Hangman. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Gilvezan.

O My America!: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 654min
A delightfully funny and moving novel about the singular life of a cantankerous Jewish-American writer and anarchist troublemaker, as remembered by his daughter. In 1972, sixty-four-year-old Ezra Slavin's heart gives out at an anti-war rally. A contentious and irascible Jewish-American writer, anarchist, and inadvertent guru to discontented youth, he leaves behind a large extended family of ex-wives, lovers, and children, most of whom had cut all ties with the infuriating intellectual provocateur years earlier. Out of the entire family, only one daughter, Merry, a journalist, can remember her father with her own critical, conflicted understanding, a saddened sympathy approaching love. As the day of his memorial approaches, she attempts to make sense of the puzzle of Ezra's life before all of its disparate, discordant elements come crashing together at the service. The award-winning author of Other People's Lives, Johanna Kaplan creates a vivid cast of unforgettable characters who reveal the disparity between Ezra's long-suffering, neglected family, his admiring friends, and the youthful hangers-on - and, most notably, in the outrageously enigmatic Ezra himself. At once hilarious and poignant, O My America! offers a fascinating evocation of a time and place in America, a satiric history of the immigrant Jewish experience, and a wonderful portrait of an exasperating yet endearing anti-hero pursuing his unique vision of the American dream. ungekürzt.

Tears Behind the Smiles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 56min
It is true that a smile can elevate the soul, improve your wellbeing, make you more accessible to others and indeed companies if you go for an interview. But what happens when we are hurting, saddened, unhappy, lonely, fearful, upset?The first thing we should not do is "Stop smiling" wearing our anguish only tends to make matters worse and sympathy is a hollow virtue in that it can elevate the senses but has no substance whatsoever.The fastest way to elevate your life and get over the predicament you are in is to join life, stop feeling sorry for yourself (because that won't do any good ever) and stop the "mind talk" because that will bring you down and stop you seeing all the positive options that are around.We are all different, but you are in control of your mind, your mind is where you live, stop the excuses, don't be an emotional vampire draining others energy you have enough of your own. If you have love within you then that is all you need to rejoin life and become fabulous again. And if you weren't fabulous to start with then now is the time.Remember you are the only one who controls how you think regardless of circumstances, don't opt out and let yourself down because if you do others won't respect you either.Listen to this audio message about your hidden tears and how misplaced they are... ungekürzt.

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Finding Hope, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
In this hour, in 2004 Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht coined the term "solastalgia." It was his way of describing the combination of grief and longing people feel when a place they love has been damaged. He tells Anne Strainchamps when he first began to notice the phenomenon, about ten years ago. Next, Indiana author Scott Russell Sanders understands the feeling. He worries that most of America is becoming the same. He tells Steve Paulson that the best way to fight the homogenization of America is to reclaim its particularity.Then, Novella Carpenter was thrilled when she and her boyfriend found an affordable apartment in the Bay Area, and even more when she discovered it had a vacant lot next door. She immediately began to imagine a garden, more like a farm, but the author of Farm City: the Education of an Urban Farmer tells Jim Fleming that there was a drawback to her urban farm dream – the apartment was in Oakland, then called "the murder capital of the world."And finally, for writer Adam Nicolson, attachment to place goes deep. He grew up in Sissinghurst Castle, one of the most beautiful places in England, home to the celebrated garden of his grandmother, the poet Vita Sackville-West. When he returned as an adult he was astonished and saddened to see that the working farm at the garden had disappeared. He tells the story in a book called Sissinghurst - An Unfinished History. He tells Anne Strainchamps it was a magical place to grow up. [Broadcast Date: June 30, 2010] Language: English. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/tbon/100630/rt_tbon_100630_sample.mp3.
