    The World's Smallest Bible , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min
    The World's Smallest Bible chronicles the seriocomic boyhood of Ethan and Jeremiah Mueller in Mill Town, Pennsylvania, during the height of World War II. As they lose friends and neighbors to the front lines, the boys try to make sense of the mounting darkness with their imaginations - except in their world, no one ever dies. In a private, laconic language, they invent stories that mirror the irrational world around them: A chaplain with bad news becomes the Angel of Death, skeletal Nazis lurk around the corner, and the ghost of a dead playmate taps at their bedroom window in the night. With startling lyricism and narrative grace, Dennis Must has fashioned an indelible vision of the Mueller boys' blighted youth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tim Halligan.

    When fire ravages Wyoming land, fireweed is among the first plants to return, brightening a blighted area with the joy of its blooms. Small-town lawyer Taylor Anne Larsen faces the challenge of doing the same for the pain-ravaged heart and disbelieving soul of ranch foreman Cal Ruskoff. Armed with the same grace and grit as the wildflower fireweed, Taylor also has allies - a matchmaking friend, the Wyoming winter, high-octane mutual attraction, and a rescued puppy who slips past Cal's defenses. Cal might give in to passion temporarily, but from behind the wall he's built around his past and his secrets, he's certain Taylor is all that he can't let himself have. And he'll use all his weapons to keep her out. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julia Motyka. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/012351/bk_acx0_012351_sample.mp3.
