    Dani, Meg, and Charlotte have bonded over babies, barbeques, and backyards, but when they escape for a girls' weekend away, they can't bring themselves to return to lives that don't seem to fit anymore. Harried Dani can't explain why she feels so discontented until she meets a young gallery owner who inspires her to rediscover the art that once made her happy. Dependable Meg faces up to a grief that threatens to swallow her whole and confronts a marriage built on expectations. Flamboyant Charlotte, frustrated with her stagnated life and marriage, pursues a playboy Irish singer and beachside business opportunities. All three of these women thought they would be different. None of them thought they'd be facing down 40 and still wondering when life starts. What they do when they realize where they're headed is both inspiring and wildly entertaining. Girls' Weekend is a fun, yet poignant romp through the universal search of who we are, why we love, and what makes us happy by an author who is quickly emerging as one of our most incisive storytellers. ungekürzt.

    New York Times best-selling author Gerald A. Browne's suspenseful disaster novel about a massive mudslide along California's southern coast. The people of Southern California worship the sun, but their idol has forsaken them. For more than two weeks, rain has fallen on this earthly paradise, destroying crops, loosening the ground, and sending coffins into backyards, forcing rattlesnakes out of their nests into people's homes. As the punishing weather continues, people start to panic. After all, a little rain never hurt anybody - but a lot can kill. The Seaside Supermarket near Laguna Beach is doing brisk business when an earthquake hits and the ground begins to slide. Among the customers are architect Frank Brydon, who is dying of cancer; a hotshot Hollywood producer; and a young couple on a road trip that's supposed to save their relationship. As the earth shifts, the store slips down the hill face, coming to rest under a mountain of mud. With his knowledge of structural engineering, can Brydon lead the survivors in a desperate race against the clock to escape being buried alive? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matt Patterson.

    At first glance, he was a fine figure of a man. Even the butcher knife buried in the middle of his chest didn’t seriously detract from his good looks. But that corpse, nude except for a pair of mismatched socks - and the butcher knife, of course - is trouble with a capital T for Leroy MacPherson, in whose wheat field the body is dumped, and the rest of his extended family. It’s also trouble for the opponents of the nuclear waste depository the DOE plans to build in the Texas Panhandle. The victim is Charlton Price-Leigh III, whose job it is - or was - to persuade local residents that burying radioactive waste in their backyards presented very little danger. That’s not what MacPhearson and his neighbors believe, and its not what attorney John Lloyd Branson believes, either. When John Lloyd and his legal clerk, Lydia Fairchild, take on MacPhearson’s defense, they find themselves entangled in a series of deceptions. Whatever they see, whatever a witness says, can not be trusted. Even the victim cannot be trusted. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Bowen.

Gardening can be a great way to disconnect from the technology that has taken over our lives. Making use of the many available garden technology apps and objects may seem in opposition to the notion of unplugging in the garden. But rather than taking us away from the natural world, these technologies are new gardening assistants making it easier for us to partner with nature. The Internet of Things (IoT), a network of physical objects devices, vehicles, building, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data, has officially crept into backyards around the country. Unfortunately, some people just aren't born with a green thumb. If you're not inclined to gardening, but still want to grow your own produce at home without breaking a sweat, these futuristic home gardening inventions might be just what you need. ungekürzt.

    The perfect neighborhood can be the perfect place to hide… Who wouldn't want to live in Brighton Hills? This exclusive community on the Oregon coast is the perfect mix of luxury and natural beauty. Stunning houses nestle beneath mighty Douglas firs, and lush backyards roll down to the lakefront. It's the kind of place where neighbors look out for one another. Sometimes a little too closely… Cora thinks her husband, Finn, is cheating-she just needs to catch him in the act. That's where Paige comes in. Paige lost her son to a hit-and-run last year, and she's drowning in the kind of grief that makes people do reckless things like spying on the locals, searching for proof that her son's death was no accident…and agreeing to Cora's plan to reveal what kind of man Finn really is. All the while, their reclusive new neighbor, Georgia, is acting more strangely every day. But what could such a lovely young mother possibly be hiding? When you really start to look beyond the airy open floor plans and marble counters, Brighton Hills is filled with secrets. Some big, some little, some deadly. And one by one, they're about to be revealed… "A writer to watch." -Publishers Weekly

    All too often, believers find themselves stuck in circumstances that just seem impossible to overcome. And while we all believe the enemy is the only source holding us back, oftentimes, if we are able to peel back the spiritual onion, we realize we play a major part of the larger equation. We get stuck in dead-end jobs, painful relationships, and give up on our dreams because we feel this is the best version of life we will ever see, and we eventually miss out on everything God has to offer. What’s more, we fail to see the pitfalls that surround us, even if it’s right in our own backyards - or our homes.In Who’s in Your House?, Apostle Fritz Musser reveals how to sort out those people or things holding you back. Is it your finances? Children? Family members? Friends? Or maybe even your spouse?Sorting through these questions is difficult but not impossible if you have the right principles at your fingertips. If you’re ready to step out on faith and find God’s perfect path for success, discover the answers you need and embrace your purpose. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Beretta.

    Nine-year-old Meena can't wait to grow up and break free from her parents. But as the daughter of the only Punjabi family in the mining village of Tollington, her struggle for independence is different from most. Meena wants fish fingers and chips, not chapati and dhal; she wants an English Christmas, not the usual interminable Punjabi festivities. But more than anything, she wants to roam the backyards of working-class Tollington with feisty Anita Rutter and her gang. Blonde, cool, aloof, outrageous and sassy, Anita is everything Meena thinks she wants to be. Meena wheedles her way into Anita's life, but the arrival of a baby brother, teenage hormones, impending entrance exams for the posh grammar school and a motorcycling rebel without a future threaten to turn Anita's salad days sour. Anita and Me paints a comic, poignant, compassionate and colourful portrait of village life in the era of flares, power cuts, glam rock, decimalisation and Ted Heath. It is a unique vision of a British childhood in the'70s, a childhood caught between two cultures, each on the brink of change. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Meera Syal.

    A rich, sweeping, and compelling work of botanical history, The Cabaret of Plants explores dozens of plant species that for millennia have challenged our imaginations, awoken our wonder, and upturned our ideas about history, science, beauty, and belief. Going back to the beginnings of human history, Richard Mabey shows how flowers, trees, and plants have been central to human experience not just as sources of food and medicine but as objects of worship, actors in creation myths, and symbols of war and peace, life and death. Mabey takes listeners from the Himalayas to Madagascar to the Amazon to our own backyards. He ranges through the work of writers, artists, and scientists and across nearly 40,000 years of human history: Ice Age images of plant life in ancient cave art and the earliest representations of the Garden of Eden; Newton's apple and gravity, Priestley's sprig of mint and photosynthesis, and Wordsworth's daffodils; the history of cultivated plants such as maize, ginseng, and cotton; and the ways the sturdy oak became the symbol of British nationhood and the giant sequoia came to epitomize the spirit of America. ungekürzt.

    When it comes to our health, more and more people want to take it into their own hands. In this modern day and age, where medicine has become an industry and people don't trust drugs that haven't fully been tested, it is comforting to go back to our roots in nature and consider the healing benefits of herbs. Herbs can have a huge range of wonderful benefits, and the best part is that we can grow them in our own backyards. They don't generally take a lot of effort, and growing them ourselves is a great reason to get out of the house and away from the many screens in our lives. By doing so that we can really get in touch with a more primal aspect of ourselves. Growing herbs is fun, easy, and empowering. If you are suffering from headaches or stomach cramps, what could be more rewarding than walking into your own gardens and picking out just the right herb? It's possibly one of the best things we could do for ourselves. And even if we don't need them right away, we can harvest and dry them ourselves for future use. It's a great system! ungekürzt.
