    In December of 1606, three ships carrying the first permanent English settlers in America - 105 in all - headed for the British colony of Virginia. Approximately four months later, on April 26, 1607, they sailed into the Chesapeake Bay, finally arriving at a peninsular in the James River; there, the pioneer colonists disembarked. They named the settlement they established in the area, James Towne.Twelve years later, in August of 1619, a ship carrying about 50 Africans, stolen from their homes and villages, arrived at the settlement; more than 20 of these wretched souls were left behind, sold into slavery.By the time a young African girl - barely 12 or 13 years old - was stolen, transported to America, and sold or traded into slavery in the late 18th century, the transatlantic slave trade had been operating for over 180 years.The child was brought to America, sold to a South Carolinian rice planter and renamed Charlotte. She is forced to become a breeder, eventually dying in childbirth. Half a century later, after witnessing the savage flogging and slow murder of a runaway slave whose attempt at escape was unsuccessful, Charlotte’s progeny attempt to escape the brutality of slavery to freedom in Canada with the help of White abolitionists and free Blacks. Their lives depend on reading and interpreting coded messages hidden in patterns stitched into quilts. Failure is not an option, but the dangers are many and ever-present. Will they make it to Canada?The story is narrated by 88-year-old Thomas, the grandson of the slave girl, Charlotte, and passed down through successive generations. It is not until much later, in the 21st century, that Charlotte’s identity is revealed through the magic of DNA testing.This exciting and educational historical fiction story is rooted in actual historical events and is sure to inspire thoughtful discussions about this period of American history; it is suitable listening for history lovers, as well ungekürzt.

    An American in Paris: An Absolutely Heartbreaking and Uplifting World War 2 Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 724min
    Paris, 1940: Walking through Montmartre that morning was like the eerie calm right before a storm. The roads were deserted. We carried on, arm in arm, and then finally, we saw them. Columns and columns of soldiers, spreading through the streets like a toxic grey vapor. "You must write about this," he whispered to me. "You must write about the day freedom left Paris."As Nazi troops occupy the City of Lights, American journalist Florence is determined to do everything she can to save her adopted home and the man she loves. Florence had arrived in Paris in 1937 and on a beautiful summer’s day met and fell in love with Otto, a Jewish artist from Austria, who had fled persecution in his homeland. But as swastikas are draped along the city’s wide boulevards, everything Otto was running from seems to have caught up with him. Both Florence and Otto begin lending their talents to the Resistance, working to sabotage the Germans right under their noses. Florence’s society columns that before the war were filled with tales of glamorous Parisian parties now document life under occupation and hide coded messages for those fighting outside France for freedom. While Otto risks arrest in order to pin up the anti-Nazi posters he designs by candlelight in their tiny apartment. But with every passing day, things become more dangerous for Otto to remain in Paris. If Florence risks everything by accepting a secret mission, can she ensure his survival so that they can be reunited once the war is over? A sweeping wartime story that will capture your heart and never let it go. Fans of The Alice Network, The Lost Girls of Paris, and My Name Is Eva will be absolutely gripped from the very first moment.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laurence Bouvard.

    17 Ways to Please Your Spouse or Partner: For Men with Schizoid Personality Disorder, ADHD, OCPD or Asperger's Syndrome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min
    Many people with schizoid personality disorder or Asperger's syndrome want to have relationships with other people. They might work very hard to capture the attention of other people whom they like. However, many people with schizoid personality disorder or Asperger's syndrome struggle to maintain relationships. Some statistics on the Internet claim that the divorce rate for those with schizoid personality disorder, ADHD, or Asperger's syndrome is over 80 to 90 percent! Schizoid personality disorder, ADHD, and Asperger's syndrome cause a lot of different deficits in the communication and socialization of a person with the disorders in comparison to a neurotypical (non-autism spectrum) brain. These disorders also can cause a lot of memory retention problems, cognitive delays, planning issues, rigidity, and aggression. People who grow up with any of these disorders often may feel alienated for most of their lives. People with schizoid personality disorder, ADHD, or Asperger's syndrome may set their lives up the way that they like them. They like things to be just so. They might like their stuff to be in the same place all of the time for ease of finding it later. They might need rooms to be very clean or to be organized in a symmetrical way. They might need the food in the pantry, cupboards, and refrigerator lined up alphabetically or in color-coded rows. They might need the lawn to be mowed in certain patterns. People with these disorders also may have sensory processing disorder. They may be sensitive to lights, sounds, noise, touch, smells, and tastes. They might get especially overwhelmed when they are out in public areas. They might become agoraphobic or quite isolated due to their tendency to become overloaded in the environment. Or they develop a strong dislike of other people. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrel Sheree. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/053831/bk_acx0_053831_sample.mp3.

    Intent to Kill , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 618min
    A fallen baseball star must use his new skills as Boston's king of sports radio to outwit a dangerous caller and prove, live on the air, that the hit-and-run that killed his wife was no accident. Ryan James once had it all. With a beautiful wife and a two-year-old daughter, he was just one minor-league baseball game away from realizing his lifelong dream of playing in the majors when the unthinkable happened: his wife, Chelsea, was killed in a hit-and-run accident while driving to Ryan's last game of the season. Years later, Ryan is a popular "shock jock" at Boston's top-rated sports radio show, doing his best to raise his daughter alone. But his love for Chelsea endures, his insomnia persists, and the fact that the police never found the drunk who ran her off the road makes closure impossible. Then, on the third anniversary of Chelsea's death, chilling words from an anonymous tipster turn the accident into a homicide: "I know who did it." As the police scramble, Ryan makes a stunning discovery. The tip, a strangely coded message, may have come from Chelsea's own brother, a young man affectionately known as "Babes", who has an autism-related disorder. But why would Babes have withheld this information for three years? And what finally made him come forward anonymously? The demand for answers sends Babes on the run. Through a series of shocking on-air conversations with Babes, Ryan and Emma Carlisle, the dedicated prosecutor on the case, unravel a cover-up that reaches back to the night of Chelsea's death and that may implicate one of New England's most powerful families. It's a search that will forever change the lives of Ryan, Babes, and Emma - if they live to tell about it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Davis.

    Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 975min
    Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country is Chuck Pfarrer's captivating adaptation of Edward Everett Hale's American classic "The Man Without a Country", first published in The Atlantic Monthly more than a century ago. Masterfully blending history and fiction, Pfarrer tells the story of a young artillery officer, Philip Nolan, who becomes embroiled in Aaron Burr's 1807 conspiracy to invade the territories of the Louisiana Purchase. Insinuating his scheme has official approval, Burr convinces Nolan to carry a coded message into the Orleans Territory. Nolan has no knowledge of the former vice president's intended treason - and Burr has no idea that Thomas Jefferson has discovered his scheme. Soon Philip Nolan is in military custody with Burr, charged as an accessory to the plot. The nation holds its breath as Burr is tried for attempting to tear apart the Union. The charges against Burr seem ironclad, but his lawyers are clever, and Burr walks free. An embarrassed prosecution looks for a scapegoat and expands the charges against Nolan to include desertion and sedition. Learning that his own court-martial will proceed despite Burr's acquittal, Nolan denounces his accusers, damns his country, and tells the court he wishes never again to hear the words "United States" as long as he lives. The judges return with an ominous verdict: the prisoner's wish will be granted. Nolan is sentenced to permanent exile aboard a series of US warships, never again to hear news from or speak of his country. Decades pass. Shuttled from ocean to ocean, Nolan realizes he is a stateless person, estranged from his keepers and forgotten by his country. Eventually passed aboard an American frigate in the Mediterranean, Nolan comes into the custody of a newly commissioned lieutenant, Frank Curran. When Barbary pirates capture an American whaleship, the pair is drawn into a web of international deceit and mortal danger. As a rescue mission is launch ungekürzt. Language: English.

    How to Catch a Russian Spy: The True Story of an American Civilian Turned Self-Taught Double Agent , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 617min
    The fascinating story of a young American amateur who helped the FBI bust a Russian spy in New York - sold in 10 countries and in a major deal with 20th Century Fox. For three nerve-wracking years, Naveed Jamali spied on America for the Russians, trading thumb drives of sensitive technical data for envelopes of cash, selling out his own beloved country across noisy restaurant tables and in quiet parking lots. Or so the Russians believed. In fact this young American civilian was a covert double agent working with the FBI. The Cold War wasn't really over. It had just gone high tech. How to Catch a Russian Spy is the one-of-a-kind story of how one young man's post-college adventure became a real-life US counterintelligence coup. He had no previous counterespionage experience. Everything he knew about undercover work he'd learned from Miami Vice and Magnum PI reruns and movies like Ronin, Spy Game, and anything with Bond or Bourne in the title. And yet, hoping to gain experience to become a navy intelligence officer, he convinced the FBI and the Russians they could trust him. With charm, cunning, and a big load of naiveté, he matched wits with a veteran Russian military-intelligence officer who was recruiting spies on American soil, outmaneuvering the Russian spy and his secret-hungry superiors. Along the way Jamali and his FBI handlers cast a rare light on espionage activities at the Russian Mission to the United Nations in New York and earned a solid US win in the escalating hostilities between Moscow and Washington. Now Jamali reveals the whole engaging story behind his double-agent adventure - from coded signals on Craigslist to the Russian spy's propensity for Hooters' Buffalo wings. Cinematic, news-breaking, and wildly entertaining, How to Catch a Russian Spy is an armchair spy fantasy brought to life. Film rights sold to 20th Century Fox for director Marc Webb (The Amazing Spid ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirby Heyborne.
