Title: The Power of Two Author: Lisa Messenger, Sarah Megginson Narrator: Sarah Megginson, Lisa Messenger Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 57 minutes Release date: November 14, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: The Power of Two is a universal and timeless story of hope, possibility and living life outside the lines, co-written by media powerhouses and best friends Lisa Messenger and Sarah Megginson, and their uplifting, life-affirming surrogacy story.For the past year, the world has followed closely as Lisa and Sarah - co-authors, media powerhouses and best friends - candidly and generously shared the remarkable journey to starting Lisa's family. After eight years of 'trying' - involving 16 rounds of IVF, 480 injections and endless heartbreak - Lisa accepted that she needed to take up Sarah's incredible, selfless offer of surrogacy to support her dream of becoming a mother.When they decided, after a twelve year friendship to embark on creating a baby together, they started candidly sharing their story and the joys and lessons they were learning along the way. Audiences hung on their every post and word and the media came in throngs.In The Power of Two, Lisa and Sarah will delve further into their profound journey - one that transcends pain and heartache to shine a light on what becomes possible when we embrace vulnerability and the power of community. This story may start with a beautiful friendship and the birth of a much-wanted baby boy - but this book is about more than the journey to parenthood.While people are fascinated by the challenges of fertility, IVF, and surrogacy, it is the accompanying themes of friendship, vulnerability, tenacity, resilience, generosity, the power of community, staying open and never taking no for an answer, that are having a deep and profound impact.The Power of Two will be a beacon of hope for anyone who has faced adversity, loss, grief and heartache. It will be a celebration of the tenacity we all possess, the power of giving - and the power in receiving. The Power of Two is ultimately about how one single connection can cause a boundless ripple, a wellspring of potential for lasting change well beyond what was once thought conceivable.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818663Thu, 14 Nov 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818663 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Becoming Janet: Finding Myself in the Holocaust Author: Janet Singer Applefield Narrator: Suzanne Toren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 1 minute Release date: November 12, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: As a four-year-old in Nowy Targ, Poland, Gustawa Singer lived an idyllic life. Her parents doted on her, and she was always surrounded by loving relatives. Her father worked in the hardware store owned by her grandfather, and the family prospered. Then, in 1939, everything changed: Hitler's army invaded Poland, and Gustawa's carefree childhood days were gone forever. The Nazis killed 2,000 of the 2,200 Jews in her small hometown. Gustawa's mother was transported to the death camp at Belzec, her father was assigned to forced labor, and Gustawa became separated from everyone she had ever known. Amidst the Nazis' hatred and savagery, a stranger spotted Gustawa after her cousin abandoned her in Krakow. This woman took her in and loved her at terrible risk to her own family. For Gustawa's protection, her name had to be changed several times. She survived the seemingly endless ordeal of the Holocaust and was eventually reunited with her father. They emigrated to the United States where Janet grew up. Believing that the world must never forget the horrors unleashed by Hitler's regime, the woman who was now Janet Singer Applefield began a series of talks to students, telling them the moving story of all she had endured, teaching them the power of courage and resilience in the face of bigotry, and encouraging them to stand up to discrimination and injustice.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818373Tue, 12 Nov 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818373 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: OCT 7: The War Against Hamas Through the Eyes of an Israeli Commando Officer Author: Capt. Elkana (Kuno) Cohen Narrator: Neil Shah Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 40 minutes Release date: November 12, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israelis awoke to a harrowing reality. Not only were hundreds of rockets being launched from Gaza into Israeli population centers, but the security border had also been breached by several thousand Hamas terrorists. Carnage, not seen since the Second World War, ensued. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. One that will have to ensure nothing less than Israel's survival. In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary. Every day, he candidly documented the sights of the war. From an honest, precise, and fluid first-person perspective, Cohen presents the feeling and story of the war from the eyes of the heroes who were there: the dust, the sweat, the brotherhood, the longing, and the awful smell of death and destruction. Cohen's writing poignantly describes his relationships with his fellow comrades, the mass arrests of terrorists, the homes of Hamas members, the story of the fallen soldiers, and the desperate hope to bring the hundreds of Israeli hostages home. OCT 7 is not only the story of one Israeli officer, but it is also the narrative of an entire nation. A nation that stepped up without a moment's hesitation to face an existential challenge with a sense of purpose and mission.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818766Tue, 12 Nov 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818766 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Madam Author: Antonia Murphy Narrator: Antonia Murphy Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 23 minutes Release date: November 7, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: *Now a major international TV series starring Rachel Griffiths and Martin Henderson* A poignant and darkly comedic memoir from a mother who opened an ethical escort agency in small town New Zealand – the only country in the world where sex work is fully legalised – and dared to make a difference.  I’m Antonia, a real-life madam. I’ve got a blended family of six kids; I spend my mornings packing lunchboxes and my evenings reading bedtime stories. And two days a week, I work as a pimp. Procurer, madam – whatever you want to call it. Personally, I think of myself as a union organiser. For vaginas. An ex-pat from San Francisco, Antonia Murphy is living on a farm in rural New Zealand with her husband and two kids, bored and isolated, when her husband leaves her. Suddenly, she has to figure out how to survive. Upon discovering the decriminalisation of sex work in New Zealand, Antonia’s mind starts to wander, and she reaches out to the international sex worker community online to learn more about the business. This group of smart, anonymous, sassy women open Antonia’s eyes to the viability of sex work that safeguards women’s health and dignity, while providing a clean, shame-free establishment for male clients. Inspired, Antonia decides to open her own agency: The Bach. Over the next three years, she encounters more than she could have imagined: domestic abuse, assault, theft, drugs and a stream of silly, horrific and sometimes touching requests from her clients. She witnesses the ways so many women are trapped – by early pregnancy, lack of education and the constraints of their circumstances. More than anything, she sees fire in the women who choose sex work: they refuse to give up and be poor, even when the odds are stacked against them. In Madam, we follow Antonia through the turbulent years of her agency, as she toils to keep both her business and family afloat, and to keep the women of The Bach safe and thriving as they practice the world's oldest profession.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/783577Thu, 07 Nov 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/783577 to listen full audiobooks.

Ani Gjika was born in Albania and came of age just after the fall of Communism, a time when everyone had a secret to keep and young women were afraid to walk down the street alone. When her family immigrates to America, Gjika finds herself far from the grandmother who helped raise her, grappling with a new language, and isolated from aging parents who are trying in their own ways to survive. When she meets a young man whose mind leans toward writing, as hers does, Ani falls in love—at least, she thinks it's love.

When her son was three, Brooke Boland was diagnosed with depression. She went back to find where it all started – the panic attacks, the dissociation – in the early days of motherhood. When she found it difficult to read or write. In this wide-ranging collection of essays Boland moves on from the person she was and writes to understand who she is now. She swims with sharks, falls in love with a rabbit, and watches her father fight for his life. She is a newcomer in a small regional town and a mother, but what else? She writes about family and friends, life and mortality, memory and forgetting, and along the way she finds her voice again. This book is for anyone who has felt unmoored. It is about the unremarkable in-between, the way we try to build a home from nothing, the dirty dishes and the loads of washing. The uncertainty and the love.

Title: Gulp, Swallow: Essays on Change Author: Brooke Boland Narrator: Candice Moll Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 30 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Memoiric essays on who we were and how we have changed What happens when who you are is different to who you imagined you'd be? When her son was three, Brooke Boland was diagnosed with depression. She went back to find where it all started – the panic attacks, the dissociation – in the early days of motherhood. When she found it difficult to read or write. In this wide-ranging collection of essays Boland moves on from the person she was and writes to understand who she is now. She swims with sharks, falls in love with a rabbit, and watches her father fight for his life. She is a newcomer in a small regional town and a mother, but what else? She writes about family and friends, life and mortality, memory and forgetting, and along the way she finds her voice again. This book is for anyone who has felt unmoored. It is about the unremarkable in-between, the way we try to build a home from nothing, the dirty dishes and the loads of washing. The uncertainty and the love. But written in sparkling prose with a sly and wry tone that is illuminating about the everyday as it pitches for a rich and fulfilled life.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/uncommon-company-dissidents-and-diplomats-enemies-and-artists-by-william-h-luers--65182358https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818275 to listen full audiobooks.

Luers Narrator: David Colacci Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 42 minutes Release date: November 5, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In his revelatory memoir Uncommon Company, William Luers shares stories of his incredible career as a US diplomat to European and Latin American nations, where he introduced art and culture to forge common ground and community, improving the lives of citizens in many countries closed to Western ideas. From touring the Soviet Union with playwright Edward Albee in the 1960s to bringing such famous writers and artists as John Updike, Arthur Miller, William Styron, Peter Matthiessen, Francine du Plessix Gray, Richard Diebenkorn, and Frank Stella to Venezuela and Prague during his ambassadorships in Venezuela and Czechoslovakia, Bill Luers's practice of cultural diplomacy became known as his ability to wield 'soft power' that strengthened US relationships wherever he served. After more than thirty years with the State Department, Luers brought his art expertise to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art as its president, where he secured the Annenberg Collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works by such masters as Van Gogh, Picasso, and Cézanne, among many other accomplishments. Uplifting and inspirational, William Luers's Uncommon Company is the true story of a life well lived, celebrating the challenges and triumphs found in the virtues of being a servant leader.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818275Tue, 05 Nov 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818275 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Cop Who Fell to Earth Author: Craig Semple Narrator: Ric Herbert Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 2 minutes Release date: November 1, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: This raw and true account of the life of a tough cop has all the twists, turns and drama of a rattlingly good thriller.? Before eighteen-year-old Craig Semple joined the New South Wales Police Force in 1988, he was someone who generally preferred to steer clear of trouble. But – like so many young police officers – he gradually built resilience to fear through a process of selflessly, and often recklessly, turning towards danger. By the time he started locking horns with some of the most notorious members of Australia's outlaw motorcycle gangs, Craig believed himself to be bulletproof. After his brother, a rookie police officer, was near-fatally stabbed by a drug dealer on the streets of Sydney in 1998, Craig's life suddenly jumped the track, his fight against drug crime becoming an obsession that took him to the brink of personal, professional and marital destruction. Attempting to give his family and career a new start, he moved to the New South Wales north coast – and here Craig himself became the victim of a violent crime, at the hands of outlaw bikies. This attack was the catalyst for a ten-year battle between one regional detective and a group of brutal motorcycle gangs. Trained and shaped in a pre-Royal Commission era of alcohol abuse and maverick culture within the police force, Craig saw just about everything during a career spanning a quarter of a century: murder, drug addiction, suicide, fatal accidents, armed robbery, organised crime and much more. This dangerous and unforgiving environment would ultimately take its toll. After years of struggling with his deteriorating mental health, Craig retired with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. He had no idea that ahead of him was a journey that would challenge him on a level way beyond anything he had faced as a cop. A journey that would take him to the lowest point his life could possibly reach and, consequently, provide him with an opportunity to find a new meaning and purpose inspiring others as a mental health educator. In this raw and unflinchingly honest autobiography he gives a rare insight into the difficulties and dynamics of criminal investigation. Crime scenes described in vivid detail provide a front-row seat to the challenges of trauma, while gripping narratives of covert operations shine a light on the shadows cast by despair, greed and power at all levels of society.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818661Fri, 01 Nov 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818661 to listen full audiobooks.

A dedicated doctor. A devastating diagnosis. A chance for a medical revolution. Skin cancer is this country's most common cancer, and melanoma the deadliest form of it. Richard Scolyer, together with his colleagues at Melanoma Institute Australia, has dedicated years to groundbreaking research and succeeded in transforming even the most advanced cases of melanoma into a largely curable disease. Then last year, at the peak of his life, Richard was devastated when he was diagnosed with an incurable brain cancer.

Unter archaischen Bedingungen wuchs sie im Dschungel West-Papuas auf. Heute lebt sie in Deutschland. »Angst habe ich erst hier kennen gelernt«, sagt sie. Und sie weiß, dass sie zurückkehren wird.Sabine Kueglers Geschichte beginnt, als sie mit fünf Jahren als Tochter deutscher Sprachforscher und Missionare nach West Papua kommt. Mitten im Urwald lebt die Familie mit dem Fayu-Stamm, der für Kannibalismus und unvorstellbare Brutalität steht und dessen Menschen erst langsam lernen, zu lieben statt zu hassen, zu vergeben statt zu töten. Für die heranwachsende Sabine wird der Stamm jedoch zum Teil ihrer selbst, der Dschungel zur Liebe ihres Lebens: Sie ist keine Deutsche mehr, kein weißes Mädchen aus Europa, sie wird eine Eingeborene, die schwimmt und jagt, fühlt und handelt wie eine Fayu.Mit 17 Jahren wird Sabine auf ein Schweizer Internat geschickt, um ihren Schulabschluss zu machen - ein katastrophaler Einschnitt für sie. »Angst habe ich erst hier gelernt«, sagt sie.

Unter archaischen Bedingungen wuchs sie im Dschungel West-Papuas auf. Heute lebt sie in Deutschland. »Angst habe ich erst hier kennen gelernt«, sagt sie. Und sie weiß, dass sie zurückkehren wird.Sabine Kueglers Geschichte beginnt, als sie mit fünf Jahren als Tochter deutscher Sprachforscher und Missionare nach West Papua kommt. Mitten im Urwald lebt die Familie mit dem Fayu-Stamm, der für Kannibalismus und unvorstellbare Brutalität steht und dessen Menschen erst langsam lernen, zu lieben statt zu hassen, zu vergeben statt zu töten. Für die heranwachsende Sabine wird der Stamm jedoch zum Teil ihrer selbst, der Dschungel zur Liebe ihres Lebens: Sie ist keine Deutsche mehr, kein weißes Mädchen aus Europa, sie wird eine Eingeborene, die schwimmt und jagt, fühlt und handelt wie eine Fayu.Mit 17 Jahren wird Sabine auf ein Schweizer Internat geschickt, um ihren Schulabschluss zu machen - ein katastrophaler Einschnitt für sie. »Angst habe ich erst hier gelernt«, sagt sie. Und immer spürt sie Heimweh, eine Sehnsucht, die ständig in ihr brennt. Sie wird zurückkehren in den Dschungel, um für sich herauszufinden: Wo gehöre ich hin?

A first-generation American and entrepreneur, Lorenzo started an airline advisory business in his mid-twenties and ultimately rose to control the largest fleet of airplanes in the free world. Flying for Peanuts explains how the son of Spanish immigrants put himself through Columbia College by driving a Coca-Cola truck and then grew the fledgling advisory into ownership of Texas International Airlines.

From his time in basic training at Fort Polk in Louisiana, throughout his time as a tank gunner in the 33rd Armored Regiment, to his post-injury service in England, he wrote home to the family he had left at home. Unbeknown to him, his mother carefully numbered and saved the letters, treasuring them until her death. This book brings together the very different two versions of Walter's war: the version that a teenage soldier could reveal to his parents and younger siblings without scaring them or invoking the censor's pen, and the full and often terrifying details of serving as a tank loader and gunner in France, Belgium, and Germany, remembered so clearly eighty years later. Walter explains the forced omissions and partial truths his teenage self offered to comfort his family while he survived the destruction of three Sherman tanks, the death of three crew members, and two wounds. Coming from West Virginia, Walter's Appalachian roots and values are apparent through the memories he held dear as a soldier and the values he clung to while fighting in one of the darkest periods of human history.

Hardest Geezer, Russ Cook, is the first person to ever run the entire length of Africa. From his starting point in Cape Agulhas, South Africa, through sandstorms in the Sahara Desert, rainforests, mountain ranges and long empty roads stretched out for miles in front of him, Russ ran the equivalent of 386 marathons before finally crossing the finish line in Tunisia 50 weeks later.

A darkly comic memoir about being a working creative person in a world that is growing ever more dysfunctional, by acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist and television writer Bruce Eric Kaplan In January 2022, Bruce Eric Kaplan found himself confused and upset by the state of the world and the state of his life as a television writer in Los Angeles. He started a journal to keep from going mad, which eventually became They Went Another Way. The book’s through line traces his attempt to get a television project set up in the increasingly Byzantine world of Hollywood. But as he details the project’s ups and downs, Kaplan finds himself ruminating not only on show business but also on today’s political and social issues, on old movies and TV shows and music, on his family, on his friends, on his past, on his failing heating system, and on all the dead birds that keep showing up in his backyard. This hilarious and surprisingly moving book is about life—about art, about love, about alienation, about connection, about ugliness and beauty, about disappointment, wonder, and hope. In short, it is about everything.

A darkly comic memoir about being a working creative person in a world that is growing ever more dysfunctional, by acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist and television writer Bruce Eric Kaplan In January 2022, Bruce Eric Kaplan found himself confused and upset by the state of the world and the state of his life as a television writer in Los Angeles. He started a journal to keep from going mad, which eventually became They Went Another Way. The book’s through line traces his attempt to get a television project set up in the increasingly Byzantine world of Hollywood. But as he details the project’s ups and downs, Kaplan finds himself ruminating not only on show business but also on today’s political and social issues, on old movies and TV shows and music, on his family, on his friends, on his past, on his failing heating system, and on all the dead birds that keep showing up in his backyard. This hilarious and surprisingly moving book is about life—about art, about love, about alienation, about connection, about ugliness and beauty, about disappointment, wonder, and hope. In short, it is about everything. A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/dinner-for-vampires-by-bethany-joy-lenz--65182469https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/790657 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Dinner for Vampires Author: Bethany Joy Lenz Narrator: Bethany Joy Lenz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 17 minutes Release date: October 22, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.4 of Total 10 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 6 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A deliciously witty and inspiring memoir by One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz about her decade in a cult and her quest to break free. In the early 2000s, after years of hard work and determination to breakthrough as an actor, Bethany Joy Lenz was finally cast as one of the leads on the hit drama One Tree Hill. Her career was about to take off, but her personal life was slowly beginning to unravel. What none of the show’s millions of fans knew, hidden even from her costars, was her secret double life in a cult. An only child who often had to fend for herself and always wanted a place to belong, Lenz found the safe haven she’d been searching for in a Bible study group with other Hollywood creatives. However, the group soon morphed into something more sinister—a slowly woven web of manipulation, abuse, and fear under the guise of a church covenant called The Big House Family. Piece by piece, Lenz began to give away her autonomy, ultimately relocating to the Family’s Pacific Northwest compound, overseen by a domineering minister who would convince Lenz to marry one of his sons and steadily drained millions of her TV income without her knowledge. Family “minders” assigned to her on set, “Maoist struggle session”–inspired meetings in the basement of a filthy house, and regular counseling with “Leadership” were just part of the tactics used to keep her loyal. Only when she became a mother did Lenz find the courage to leave and spare her child from a similar fate. After nearly a decade (and with the unlikely help of a One Tree Hill superfan), she finally managed to escape the family’s grip and begin to heal from the deep trauma that forever altered her relationship with God and her understanding of faith. Written with powerful honesty and dark humor, Dinner for Vampires is an inspiring story about the importance of identity and understanding what you believe.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/790657Tue, 22 Oct 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/790657 to listen full audiobooks.

Life is a beautiful game – but how should you play it? For Sven-Göran Eriksson, one of the world’s most revered and respected football managers, the game has come to an end. He leaves us with his parting reflections, looking back on what he has achieved, experienced and learned over a lifetime in service to the beautiful game. It is a journey that has taken him from a small club in his native Sweden, across every continent, to competing on the world’s stage. Before his death, he was able to impart the lessons he’s learned along the way – about life, leadership and love – and to speak candidly about his extraordinary successes, as well as overcoming his failures. On the field, he led some of the finest sportsmen on earth to great victories and heartbreaking defeats, and in the process left his indelible mark on the game. This is a story of lives touched and connections made in the dogged pursuit of excellence. But for Sven the true journey he wanted to share is the one he made on the inside – the man that he became. Because A Beautiful Game is far more than the tale of a successful football manager. It is the story of the biggest game of all – what makes a good life. A story that endures, long after the final whistle. © Bengt Berg and Sven-Goran Eriksson 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/799330Thu, 17 Oct 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/799330 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Women Holding Things & Still Life with Remorse Author: Maira Kalman Narrator: Maira Kalman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 18 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From the critically acclaimed artist, designer, and author of the bestsellers The Principles of Uncertainty and My Favorite Things comes a collection of moving meditations on the beauty and complexity of women’s lives and roles, revealed in the things they hold, and on remorse, joy, ancestry, and memory. Women Holding Things includes thoughtful and intimate anecdotes, recollections, and ruminations about portraits of women, both ordinary and famous. These women hold a range of objects, from the mundane—balloons, a cup, a whisk, a chicken, a hat—to the abstract—dreams and disappointments, sorrow and regret, joy and love. Kalman considers the many things that fit physically and metaphorically between women’s hands: We see a woman hold a book, hold shears, hold children, hold a grudge, hold up, hold her own. In telling their stories, Kalman lays bare the essence of women’s lives—their tenacity, courage, vulnerability, hope, and pain. Ultimately, she reveals that many of the things we hold dear—as well as those that burden or haunt us—remain constant and connect us from generation to generation. Maira Kalman’s most autobiographical and intimate work to date, Still Life with Remorse is a beautiful collection of deeply personal stories. Tracing her family’s story from her grandfather’s birth in Belarus and emigration to Tel Aviv—where she was born—Maira considers her unique family history, illuminating the complex relationship between recollection, regret, happiness, and heritage. In addition to vignettes exploring her Israeli and Jewish roots, Kalman includes short stories about other great artists, writers, and composers. Through these narratives, Kalman uses her signature wit and tenderness to reveal how family history plays an influential role in all of our work, lives, and perspectives.

Title: Women Holding Things & Still Life with Remorse Author: Maira Kalman Narrator: Maira Kalman Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 18 minutes Release date: October 15, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From the critically acclaimed artist, designer, and author of the bestsellers The Principles of Uncertainty and My Favorite Things comes a collection of moving meditations on the beauty and complexity of women’s lives and roles, revealed in the things they hold, and on remorse, joy, ancestry, and memory. Women Holding Things includes thoughtful and intimate anecdotes, recollections, and ruminations about portraits of women, both ordinary and famous. These women hold a range of objects, from the mundane—balloons, a cup, a whisk, a chicken, a hat—to the abstract—dreams and disappointments, sorrow and regret, joy and love. Kalman considers the many things that fit physically and metaphorically between women’s hands: We see a woman hold a book, hold shears, hold children, hold a grudge, hold up, hold her own. In telling their stories, Kalman lays bare the essence of women’s lives—their tenacity, courage, vulnerability, hope, and pain. Ultimately, she reveals that many of the things we hold dear—as well as those that burden or haunt us—remain constant and connect us from generation to generation.

Penny the basset shows up at the Borlands' Connecticut farmhouse on a cold, snowy day—head held high, tail wagging, as if she were a long-awaited guest. Hal and Barbara Borland were no strangers to strays. Pat, the rabbit hound thousands of people came to know in The Dog Who Came to Stay, had also appeared one winter, staying to become the family's dear companion. Now, Pat is gone, and Hal and Barbara are bereft without canine company. They fall in love with Penny—and she seems to fit right in. Penny is a delightful dog—short-legged, flop-eared, full of fun and curiosity. And she loves people, so much so that she leaves the Borlands to go visiting elsewhere, often settling in with a different family for days on end.

Having undergone a long period of psychotherapy she now entertains a hope that burning questions will be answered, haunting mysteries solved, and buried memories encouraged into the light. Something has blighted her life since childhood. Something has cast a long shadow over her existence, affecting her ability to grasp at life fully, to develop sustained relationships and to appreciate her own sense of self-worth. In a leafy suburb of Sydney, a chance meeting in front of her early childhood home resurrects memories of a traumatic event. This represents the moment young Agnes starts to realise, and repress, feelings of confusion, cruelty and alienation from those who should love her the most. Agnes - A childhood betrayed and reclaimed is the revelatory, true account of one woman's determination to grapple with - and heal - the ills that have beset her past. As the missing pieces of the family puzzle gradually fall into place this brave woman's search for the truth is vindicated.

For years he is homeless, penniless, and often hopeless. Then, one memorable winter night, Nick the victim dies. Nick who holds his own power is born. Power in Chaos is the unlikely story of a boy who comes from nothing to become a self-made man—and the bright lights in his dark world that make it possible.

What happens when a marketing executive leaves San Francisco to care for her dying mother on their family farm in Ohio? A Hallmark heroine would fall in love with her high school sweetheart during a snowstorm—but this is no Hallmark movie. Sarah Gormley spent most of her life trying to outrun the persistent self-loathing that plagued her from childhood, convinced that self-worth was something she had to earn by doing rather than being. When she returned to Salt Creek Farm at age forty-five, Gormley had no idea that detaching from the success she believed defined her, untangling the complicated relationship with her mother, and continuing the hard work of therapy would lead to a wildly transformed life.

G. Sebald, and Christopher Hitchens. Born on the West Coast, the son of Bronx-born parents, Steve Wasserman is a generalist and public intellectual but is perhaps less well known as a cultural essayist and social critic of the first rank. In thirty splendid essays, originally published in such diverse publications as The New Republic and The Nation, The American Conservative and The Progressive, The Village Voice and The Economist, Wasserman delivers a riveting account of the awakening of an empathetic sensibility and a lively mind. Taken together, they reveal the depth and breadth of his enthusiasms and range over politics, literature, and the tumults of a world in upheaval. These essays include the remarkable tale of a bookstore owner who wouldn't let him buy the books he wanted, to his brave against-the-grain take on the Black Panthers, to his shrewd assessment of the fast-changing world of publishing. Here is, as Joyce Carol Oates notes, 'arguably the very best concise history of Cuba and the legendary Fidel Castro; beautifully composed eulogies for two close friends, Susan Sontag and Christopher Hitchens; sharply perceptive commentary on Daniel Ellsberg; a thrillingly candid interview with W.

Wie arbeitet ein Hirnchirurg? Wie fühlt es sich an, in das Organ zu schneiden, mit dem Menschen denken und träumen? Wie geht man damit um, wenn das Leben eines Patienten von der eigenen Heilkunst abhängt? Und wie, wenn man scheitert? Mehr noch als in anderen Bereichen der Medizin ist es in der Hirnchirurgie so gut wie unmöglich, nie einem Patienten zu schaden, denn Operationen am Innersten des Menschen sind immer mit unkalkulierbaren Risiken verbunden. Man kann die Arbeit von Hirnchirurgen mit dem 'Entschärfen einer Bombe' vergleichen. Henry Marsh, einer der besten Neurochirurgen Großbritanniens, erzählt beeindruckend offen, selbstkritisch und humorvoll von den Ausnahmesituationen, die seinen Arbeitsalltag ausmachen. Die Geschichten in diesem Hörbuch handeln: • Vom Heilen und Helfen; • Vom Hoffen und Scheitern; • Von fatalen Fehlern und von der Schwierigkeit, die richtige Entscheidung zu treffen. Henry Marsh ist einer der renommiertesten Hirnchirurgen Englands. Vor seinem Medizinstudium am Royal Free Hospital in London hat er Wirtschaft, Politik und Philosophie in Oxford studiert. Über ihn und seine Arbeit sind zwei preisgekrönte TV-Dokumentationen gedreht worden. 2010 wurde ihm der britische Verdienstorden verliehen. Seit 2015 ist er im Ruhestand. Für sein Buch 'Um Leben und Tod ist' ist Marsh mit dem PEN Ackerly Prize ausgezeichnet worden.

Title: We Are the Stars Author: Gina Chick Narrator: Gina Chick Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 40 minutes Release date: October 4, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: ‘Unlike anything I have ever read before. I can't wait to give this book to everyone I love. Read it.' HUGH JACKMAN Gina Chick, the inaugural winner of Alone Australia, tells the story of her extraordinary, indomitable life in one of the most powerful, moving memoirs you will ever read. From day one of her wildly unconventional childhood, Gina Chick blazed her own trail, which led her to dance through the hidden world of 90's Sydney nightlife into the arms of a conman. She fled to the wilderness to find healing, began a wondrous love affair with the deepest lessons life – and death – can offer, and found that all the answers are written in the wisdom of the body and the whirling silence of stars. If you're ready to get lost in jungles, wander into wolf-dens, sing with storms, rescue orphaned animals, dive to the depths, dance 'til your knees wobble, fall in love, find yourself by losing it all, and most of all be real; this book is for you. We Are the Stars is a magic carpet ride through the exquisite mystery of the human heart. You've never read anything like it. 'I am a storm wrapped in skin', writes Gina Chick in this book full of bliss, sorrow, earth and stars. I love Gina's courage, her strength and her joy. Above all I admire the life force that guides her through the worst of times to emerge on the other side of that dark river with a truly rare perspicacity. A wild, creaturely memoir that shows us how to really live.' CHARLOTTE WOOD, author of Stone Yard Devotional 'Want to know what it's like to spend time with someone so funny and wise and so brutally honest that your jaw is permanently on the floor and your heart is singing? This memoir quite simply broke me open. Her powerful poetic mixture of truth, humour, hard-fought wisdom and unblinking authenticity radiates from every page. From the first paragraph it dawned on me that this is unlike anything I have ever read before. I can't wait to give this book to everyone I love. Read it.' HUGH JACKMAN ‘Gina's eyes are wolf, her limbs the trees, her heart a moon, her mind the sea. We Are the Stars is an exhilarating story of a life uncontained and it will travel with me forever … an excellent manual for making a friend of life's intrepid roads and the wisdom that ensues. Let her words churn you up and inspire you to admire your deepest sorrows, laugh when you shouldn't and above all, make a god of curiosity.' POH LING YEOW There's nobody like Gina Chick and this book pulses with her intelligence, authenticity and vulnerability, but most of all, with her passionate love of life.' LEIGH SALES, author of Any Ordinary Day ‘A book like a huge wave of saltwater; raw and real and true. Chick has gathered a whole life's worth of lessons, recorded them here with honesty, and the result is a completely unique philosophy of life. It wrecked me and woke me the fuck up.' BRI LEE, author of Eggshell Skull ‘We Are the Stars is as much a force of nature as Gina Chick herself. In staring unflinchingly into the cruellest of losses, this book is wise, fierce and unexpectedly life-affirming.' BENJAMIN LAW, author of The Family Law ‘YES is the clarion call, the anthem, the bass drumbeat that infuses this insistently joyous memoir.

He's warm, personable and has an infectious laugh. He forms lasting relationships and has known his best friend since they were little. He is also nonverbal and autistic, and requires round-the-clock care and a liquid diet. And for this reason, there are many who would rather not encounter Danny. Challenging the view that autism is something that needs to be ‘cured', Virginia Bovell testifies to the extraordinary care Danny has received for over 30 years and the everyday kindness and decency of the people – ‘the band of angels' – that surround him. She asks us to consider what makes a thriving individual versus an inadequate one; what it means to be ill versus what it means to not to conform; what roles society values and rewards; and how humans might flourish outside of failing political and economic systems. ‘My brain's still fizzing, my heart's still sore and I'm already re-reading' Sally Phillips 'An inspiring testament and a celebration of neurodiversity.'

At daybreak, her aunt and uncle arrived at her new home to tell her that her twenty-two-year-old brother, Clinton, had been killed in a tragic accident a few hours earlier. Driving in thick fog to rescue his stranded girlfriend, he drove his truck into the side of a freight train traveling on a rarely used track. This random, tragic event propelled Stacey into a downward spiral of depression and anxiety that lasted years.

Title: Uses for Obsession: A Chef's Memoir Author: Ben Shewry Narrator: Ben Shewry Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 11 minutes Release date: October 1, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: An intimate, searing and hopeful memoir meets manifesto that reframes the way we think about restaurants, cooking, hospitality, leadership and humanity from one of the most respected chefs in the world. Chef and restaurateur Ben Shewry knows obsession well. Whether it's crispy-edged lasagne, saltwater crocodile ribs or the perfect potato, obsession is what motivates him and what makes him tick. It's also what has propelled his Melbourne restaurant Attica into the league of the most innovative, acclaimed dining experiences in the world, and one of the most vital in Australian history. In this absorbing and wide-ranging memoir meets manifesto, Shewry applies his sometimes searing, sometimes comic eye to creative freedom in the kitchen, food journalism, sexism in hospitality, the fraud of the farm-to-table sustainability ethos, the cult of the chef, cooking as muse and the legendary Family Bolognese. Raised on a farm in a close-knit rural New Zealand family, he shares how a childhood surrounded by nature and a reverence for First People's cultures has influenced his work, the values he lives by, and the meticulous, inventive multi-course menu that is synonymous with Attica. Uses for Obsession also tells the intimate, desperate story of how Attica survived 262 days with an empty dining room. How, during a time of epic hospitality transformation, it morphed into a takeaway food business, a merch shop and a summer camp. He was told it couldn't be done and that doubt both tortured and drove him. At its heart, this is a positive story, an antidote to the macho chef culture that thrives on old ideas about leadership and success. Shewry prosecutes the compelling case for a new way forward. A bold blueprint for the restaurant - and workplace - of the future. One built on kindness, community, truth and a commitment to never giving up.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/807105Tue, 01 Oct 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/807105 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: A Good Long Drive: Fifty Years of Texas Country Reporter Author: Bob Phillips Narrator: Bob Phillips Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 46 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In 2021, Texas Country Reporter celebrates its fiftieth season on the air. Broadcast every week on stations across Texas, it focuses on 'ordinary people doing extraordinary things.' And at the center of it is Bob Phillips, the show's creator and host—an erstwhile poor kid from Dallas who ended up with a job that allowed him to rub elbows with sports figures, entertainers, and politicians but who preferred to spend his time on the back roads, listening to less-famous Texans tell their stories. In this memoir, Phillips tells his own story, from his early days as a reporter and his initial pitch for the show while a student at SMU to his ongoing work at the longest-running independently produced television show in American television history. As we travel with Phillips on his journey, we meet Willie Nelson and former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry; reflect on memorable, unusual, and challenging show segments; experience the behind-the-scenes drama that goes on in local television; witness the launching of an annual festival; and discover the unbelievable allure of Texas, its culture, and, especially, its people.

And at the center of it is Bob Phillips, the show's creator and host—an erstwhile poor kid from Dallas who ended up with a job that allowed him to rub elbows with sports figures, entertainers, and politicians but who preferred to spend his time on the back roads, listening to less-famous Texans tell their stories. In this memoir, Phillips tells his own story, from his early days as a reporter and his initial pitch for the show while a student at SMU to his ongoing work at the longest-running independently produced television show in American television history. As we travel with Phillips on his journey, we meet Willie Nelson and former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry; reflect on memorable, unusual, and challenging show segments; experience the behind-the-scenes drama that goes on in local television; witness the launching of an annual festival; and discover the unbelievable allure of Texas, its culture, and, especially, its people. Spanning generations, A Good Long Drive is proof that life's journey really is a destination unto itself.]]>1805cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/this-penis-business-a-social-activist-s-memoir-by-georganne-chapin--65182369https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/816215 to listen full audiobooks. Title: This Penis Business: A Social Activist's Memoir Author: Georganne Chapin Narrator: Judy Kirkwood Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 46 minutes Release date: September 24, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: CIRCUMCISION CUTS THROUGH US ALL. In her eye-opening memoir, Georganne Chapin exposes the business of medical circumcision. This unnecessary and most common pediatric surgery in the United States permanently reduces the size and alters the function of a boy’s penis for the rest of his life. Every year, nearly 1.5 million baby boys are assaulted in American hospitals and doctors’ offices, subjecting them to pain, functional and psychological damage, and a forever-altered sexual experience. Chapin traces circumcision’s U.S. roots from 19th Century fears of masturbation to stereotypes about race, class, religion, and male sexuality. She describes how what started as a way to keep men and women from enjoying sex morphed into a for-profit medical practice-one that is rare or unknown in Europe, non-Muslim Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, she shows how physician organizations, especially the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have worked for decades to fraudulently promote circumcision’s supposed benefits and suppress facts about circumcision harm and deaths, and how they refuse to acknowledge the procedure as a gross violation of basic medical ethics. Indeed, the AAP now characterizes male genital mutilation as a matter of “culture” and “parental preference”—a position that, conveniently, shields trade associations and their physician members from legal and financial liability. This book is a punch-in-the-gut wake-up call that will enrage and empower anyone impacted by the multi-billion-dollar penis business.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/816215Tue, 24 Sep 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/816215 to listen full audiobooks.

I was standing outside an apartment block that had been split apart by a missile. The words of a poem came to me when I could no longer find my own. In nearly four decades as a journalist covering conflict from Rwanda to Kosovo to Palestine, Channel 4 News International Editor Lindsey Hilsum has always carried a book of poetry. In Ukraine, she tweeted a poem a day, and people began to read, to share, to ask for more. Here, Lindsey collects her favourite poems from ancient times to modern, by writers from all around the world. Alongside each, she recalls a memory from her own work, whether interviewing the warlords of Bosnia, meeting child soldiers in Uganda or giving testimony in Rwanda. Her prose reveals comic absurdity and astonishing courage, meaning and its absence, unexpected moments of love and the untold consequences that come long after most cameras disperse. She explores the pity of war – and its fatal attraction.

In Something Lost, Something Gained, Hillary offers her candid views on life and love, politics, liberty, democracy, the threats we face, and the future within our reach. She describes the strength she draws from her deepest friendships, her Methodist faith, and the nearly fifty years she’s been married to President Bill Clinton—all with the wisdom that comes from looking back on a full life with fresh eyes. She takes us along as she returns to the classroom as a college professor, enjoys the bonds inside the exclusive club of former First Ladies, moves past her dream of being president, and dives into new activism for women and democracy. From canoeing with an ex-Nazi trying to deprogram white supremacists to sweltering with salt farmers in the desert trying to adapt to the climate crisis in India, Hillary brings us to the front lines of our biggest challenges. For the first time, Hillary shares the story of her operation to evacuate Afghan women to safety in the harrowing final days of America’s longest war. But we also meet the brave women dissidents defying dictators around the world, gain new personal insights about her old adversary Vladimir Putin, and learn the best ways that worried parents can protect kids from toxic technology. We also hear her fervent and persuasive warning to all American voters. In the end, Something Lost, Something Gained is a testament to the idea that the personal is political, and the political is personal, providing a blueprint for what each of us can do to make our lives better. Hillary has “looked at life from both sides now.” In these pages, she shares the latest chapter of her inspiring life and shows us how to age with grace and keep moving forward, with grit, joy, purpose, and a sense of humour.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/799342Tue, 17 Sep 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/799342 to listen full audiobooks.

That reporter, twenty-six-year-old Sports Illustrated reporter Melissa Ludtke, charged Kuhn with gender discrimination, and after the lawyers argued Ludtke v. Kuhn in federal court, she won. Her 1978 groundbreaking case affirmed her equal rights, and the judge's order opened the doors for several generations of women to be hired in sports media. Locker Room Talk is Ludtke's gripping account of being at the core of this globally covered case that churned up ugly prejudices about the place of women in sports. Kuhn claimed that allowing women into locker rooms would violate his players' 'sexual privacy.' She weaves these public perspectives throughout her vivid depiction of the court drama overseen by Judge Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman to serve on the federal bench. She recounts how her lawyer, F. A. O. 'Fritz' Schwarz, employed an ingenious legal strategy that persuaded Judge Motley to invoke the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause in giving Ludtke access identical to that of her male counterparts.

Title: Between the Lines: Steppenwolf's Seagull and a Reluctant Actor's Journey Back to the Stage Author: Eric Simonson Narrator: Eric Simonson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 1 minute Release date: September 10, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In the spring of 2022, the renowned Steppenwolf Theatre Company boldly, and perhaps cavalierly, re-emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic with a brand new, 43 million dollar, state-of-the-art theatre. Director Yasen Peyankov insisted he cast the premiere production - a brand new, adaption of The Seagull - with as many Steppenwolf ensemble members as possible. This meant coaxing one non-actor, director and writer Eric Simonson, into coming back to the stage after a 33 year absence. Taking a leap in the dark, and battling the demons of stage-fright, confidence and homesickness, Simonson took up the challenge and started on a journey into the great theatrical unknown. Part diary, part history of the Chicago Theater Renaissance, this memoir takes the reader behind the scenes of a Steppenwolf classic, and inside the head of a man desperate to rediscover the joy and craft of acting.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/817806Tue, 10 Sep 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/817806 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: In search of lost glitter: a memoir of love and loss written in short stories Author: Sarah Nicholson Narrator: Sarah Nicholson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 29 minutes Release date: September 9, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In search of lost glitter is a memoir of love and loss written in many stories, many only 100-words long. It is about how an ordinary and unremarkable life was turned upside down when Sarah lost her husband in 2010. This is how she held things together, not a guide of how to survive grief but maybe some of her stories will give you hope and help you find some lost glitter along the way. When a loved one dies it is often the seemingly insignificant details that stir up the brightest memories. The colour of the top worn for the funeral, the sound of matches rattling in a coat pocket, eating sausages and chips for Christmas dinner. These are the fragments of lost glitter. What other people are saying 'Tender and true and beautifully written.' Stephanie Butland - Found in a Bookshop “Sarah has dealt with potentially heavy subject-matter – young widowhood, cancer, and the loss of her Dad – with a light touch and sprinkles of humour, giving the reader plenty of space to breathe and reflect. I felt like I had spent a lovely weekend holed up somewhere cosy with her, listening to her stories and getting a real sense of her relationships, and hopes for the future. In particular her honesty about mental health and difficult times is refreshing – it would have been so easy to have fallen into the trap of trying to be ‘inspiring’ non-stop.” Helen Anderson - Sagrada Familia “I read the first few lines and I was hooked. This is a powerfully written memoir, poured out from the heart. Taking the form of short stories, the book makes you feel like a fellow traveller through significant periods of Sarah’s life - the good times, the hard times and the tragedy. Sarah writes so authentically that I felt I was right there with her, witnessing her heartbreak and sharing in her times of joy.

Enter the secret lives of Britain's ordinary garden birds and the brilliant, unconventional woman who opened her doors to them. In the late 1930s, Len Howard packed up her life in London, bought a plot of land in Sussex and built herself a little house there. This was to be Bird Cottage, a place where the doors of the house were open to the birds of the garden – great tits, blue tits, robins, blackbirds, willow warblers and many others. Len lived the rest of her life alongside her bird neighbours, with some sleeping in her bedroom and many flitting in and out all day long. This is the book she wrote about the birds – a study not just of their behaviour but their individual personalities. We learn about their intelligence, emotional lives, and characters, their capacity for play and humour, the range of their song, their likes and dislikes, and their bond with Len. Enchanting, life-enriching, revelatory and completely original, this is a gorgeous evocation of a life lived in intimate contact with nature and a book about birds unlike any other. © Len Howard 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/778635Thu, 05 Sep 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/778635 to listen full audiobooks.

And isn't that fucking freeing? If you found out you had less time to live than the average bear, how might you spend it? That's a question comedian Michelle Brasier has been asking herself since her dad died of cancer, then her brother, and she was told there's a high chance she'll get it too. She's only young (oh my god so young, and such great skin) but she has been through a lot and it's taught her to live each day like it's her last – because it just might be.

It's an examination of the tiny things and the big things – how much it hurts to be a woman and a person, and how funny it is to try and get into shapewear and how funerals are silly.

Title: Going Under: A memoir of family secrets, addiction and escape Author: Seana Smith Narrator: Seana Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 48 minutes Release date: September 3, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From the outside, Seana Smith lived an enviable life. An Oxford graduate, a successful career with the BBC and Sydney’s Channel 9, a bestselling author, happily married. But behind this perfect life she had a secret: Seana was a drinker, and alcohol was slowly taking away her life, destroying her health, her emotional well-being, her world.  With engaging style and wit, Going Under reveals the true story behind Seana’s lifelong battle with drink.

Title: Here, Where Death Delights: A Literary Memoir Author: Mary Jumbelic M.D. Narrator: Mary Jumbelic M.D. Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 41 minutes Release date: September 2, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Mary Jumbelic has been obsessed with death since the loss of her father when she was 13. The sudden departure of her dad, the mother left behind, and her position as an only child led her to grow up quickly. Yet the why and how of her father's death plagued her. She chose to view an autopsy at the age of 15 and discovered a science that explained the process. College, medical school and becoming a forensic pathologist wasn't a given. She struggled before ultimately deciding on a career as a medical examiner. For 25 years, she analyzed corpses and explained to families what had happened to their loved ones, something that hadn't been done for her. She faced blood, gore, violence, and grief in urban and country morgues. She worked for the federal government and internationally in mass disasters. This daily confrontation challenged her to re-live her own loss. She became an advocate in recognizing preventable injuries to help reduce fatalities. Dr. Jumbelic developed a way to honor the person's life by speaking for them in courts, classrooms, and interviews. How did she finally integrate death into her own life so filled with hope? This is her journey. Mary Jumbelic, M.D., is a board-certified forensic pathologist who has performed thousands of autopsies. She received awards from the National Transportation Safety Board and the New York State Senate, and has been recognized by the National Organization of Women as a trailblazer. This is her first book, an interweaving of personal and professional stories that demystify death. She lives with her husband in Central New York. Her motto is 'I speak for the dead. They speak for me.']]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/813967Mon, 02 Sep 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/813967 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: In the Garden Behind the Moon: A Memoir of Loss, Myth, and Magic Author: Alexandra A. Chan Narrator: Rachel Yong Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 4 minutes Release date: August 27, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Alexandra Chan thinks she has life figured out until, in the Year of the Ram, the death of her father—her last parent—brings her to her knees, an event seemingly foretold in Chinese mythology. A left-brained archaeologist and successful tiger daughter, Chan finds her logical approach to life utterly fails her in the face of this profound grief. Unable to find a way forward, she must either burn to ash or forge herself anew. Slowly, painfully, wondrously, Chan discovers that her father and ancestors have left threads of renewal in the artifacts and stories of their lives. Through a long-lost interview conducted by Roosevelt's Federal Writers' Project, a basket of war letters written from the Burmese jungle, a box of photographs, her world travels, and a deepening relationship to her own art, the archaeologist and lifelong rationalist makes her greatest discovery to date: the healing power of enchantment. In an epic story that travels from prerevolution China to the South under Jim Crow, from the Pacific theater of WWII to the black sands of Reynisfjara, Iceland, and beyond, Chan takes us on a universal journey to meaning in the wake of devastating loss, sharing the insights and tools that allowed her to rebuild her life and resurrect her spirit.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/813863Tue, 27 Aug 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/813863 to listen full audiobooks.

Bulwer takes the listener on an extraordinary trip through the world of biblical literalism, fundamentalist endtime fantasies, paranormal spirituality, evangelical extremism, ritual abuse, and liberally interpreted Biblical teachings that were used to justify licentious sexual doctrines, evangelical prostitution, and child sexual abuse. We learn about the inner workings of the CoG, aka The Family, and the machinations of David Berg, a self-declared endtime prophet. Berg died in 1994, before various law enforcement agencies around the world caught up with him. Perry Bulwer escaped The Family in 1991, managing to escape the cult's tight control while living in Asia. Returning to Canada, he tried to pick up his life where he had left it off two decades earlier. Through education Bulwer lost his religion, turning from religious extremist to secular humanist lawyer, fighting for the rights of sex workers and drug users living on the streets of Vancouver. Haunted by his own past, Bulwer became an advocate for thousands of second-generation survivors of the cult's child abuse and psychological trauma.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818881Tue, 27 Aug 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/818881 to listen full audiobooks.

Despite his friendly demeanor and perceived success, he was haunted by his past, controlled by his fears, and consumed by emptiness and loneliness. But destiny – disguised as an ill-timed business trip – ultimately changed the trajectory of his life, and led him to discover and then champion the life-changing power of leadership done right. By immersing himself in leadership principles and practices and infusing them into his own life story, Ethan discovers that leadership can transcend lives – especially his own.

Title: The Dog Who Came to Stay: A Memoir Author: Hal Borland Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 47 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: One dark and stormy winter night, outside his remote New England farmhouse, Hal Borland heard howling. At the door were a half-starved black-and-white mutt and his puppy companion. While reluctant to welcome these uninvited guests into their home, Hal and his wife gave them refuge, finally naming them Pat and Mike. When a local boy lost his dog, and the Borland's gave Mike to him, Pat's strong personality blossomed, and he becomes a treasured companion and member of the family. Accompanying Hal on hunts (and himself proving a formidable threat to local wildlife), Pat is the ideal touchstone for insights into the natural world. The Borlands learn valuable lessons from Pat—trust, relationships, and harmony with nature—the same values that led their move from city to country.

Title: The Dog Who Came to Stay: A Memoir Author: Hal Borland Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 47 minutes Release date: August 13, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: One dark and stormy winter night, outside his remote New England farmhouse, Hal Borland heard howling. At the door were a half-starved black-and-white mutt and his puppy companion. While reluctant to welcome these uninvited guests into their home, Hal and his wife gave them refuge, finally naming them Pat and Mike. When a local boy lost his dog, and the Borland's gave Mike to him, Pat's strong personality blossomed, and he becomes a treasured companion and member of the family. Accompanying Hal on hunts (and himself proving a formidable threat to local wildlife), Pat is the ideal touchstone for insights into the natural world. The Borlands learn valuable lessons from Pat—trust, relationships, and harmony with nature—the same values that led their move from city to country. Through this process, they develop a deeper appreciation for the place they call home. The Dog Who Came to Stay is a first-rate memoir detailing the immeasurable bond between humans and their beloved companions.

His life is revealed through letters home which contain descriptions of concerts and plays, politics of the day, and his attendance at social events; all of this is in addition to the expected personal and familial concerns of an eldest son for his parents and younger brothers and sisters.

The only child of reclusive Holocaust-survivor parents who were dismayed by her literary studies, she found herself dumped by her boyfriend and bombing out of graduate school.

Title: Manboobs: A very queer memoir Author: Komail Aijazuddin Narrator: Komail Aijazuddin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 32 minutes Release date: August 8, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. The hilarious and piercing memoir about growing up gay in a not-so-gay world. I’m just a man, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a cake. What do you do when you’re too gay for Pakistan, too Pakistani to be gay in America and you’re ashamed of your body everywhere? How can you find happiness despite years of humiliation, fear and a legion of Brooklyn hipsters who know you only as a queer from Whereveristan? How do you summon the courage to be yourself no matter where you are? Even as a young child in Lahore, Komail Aijazuddin knew he was different. Other boys didn’t pirouette off their desks, get bullied for their ‘manboobs’ or spontaneously burst into songs from The Little Mermaid. Other boys didn’t play together like that. Starved of a crucial part of himself, he ate. And ate. Before long, his own body became another burden to carry everywhere and to hide. Komail began to believe his only chance at a happy, meaningful life would be found elsewhere: in America, land of the free, home of the gays. But he would soon learn that finding happiness takes a lot more than a plane ticket. This is Aijazuddin’s riotous, intelligent memoir of searching for his place between two worlds while navigating a minefield of expectations, prejudice and self-doubt. In Manboobs, Aijazuddin confidently announces himself as a sharp new voice in humour with his moving, wickedly funny search for love and the bravery required to be yourself. ‘An important story, told with a sharp wit and disarming humour’ MOHSIN ZAIDI ‘Vastly entertaining and wickedly funny’ GREG MARSHALL © Komali Aijazuddin 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/792541Thu, 08 Aug 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/792541 to listen full audiobooks.

When, at age forty-six, Nancy Pelosi, mother of five, asked her youngest daughter if she should run for Congress, Alexandra Pelosi answered: ‘Mother, get a life!’ And so Nancy did, and what a life it has been. In The Art of Power, Pelosi describes for the first time what it takes to make history – not only as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in America, but to pass laws that would save lives and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the economy in 2008 to transforming health care. She describes the perseverance, persuasion, and respect for her members that it took to succeed, but also the joy of seeing America change for the better. Among the best-prepared and hardest-working Speakers in history, Pelosi worked to find common ground, or stand her ground, with presidents from Bush to Biden. She also shares moving moments with soldiers sent to the front lines, women who inspired her, and human rights activists who fought by her side. Pelosi took positions that established her as a prophetic voice on the major moral issues of the day, warning early about the dangers of the Iraq War and of the Chinese government’s long record of misbehaviour. This moral courage prepared her for the arrival of Trump, with whom she famously tangled, becoming a red-coated symbol of resistance to his destructive presidency. Here, she reveals how she went toe-to-toe with Trump, leading up to January 6, 2021, when he unleashed his post-election fury on the Congress. Pelosi gives us her personal account of that day: the assault not only on the symbol of our democracy but on the men and women who had come to serve the nation, never expecting to hide under desks or flee for their lives – and her determined efforts to get the National Guard to the Capitol. Nearly two years later, violence and fury would erupt inside Pelosi’s own home when an intruder, demanding to see the Speaker, viciously attacked her beloved husband, Paul. Here, Pelosi shares that horrifying day and the traumatic aftermath for her and her family.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/788064Tue, 06 Aug 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/788064 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Lebanon Days Author: Theodore Ell Narrator: Theodore Ell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 41 minutes Release date: August 1, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A captivating memoir that unravels the emotional struggles of a nation the world has long overlooked. Through the eyes of an outsider, this story takes a deep dive into the intimate details of Lebanon's hardships, providing a profound understanding of its people and their journey. From 2018 to 2021, writer and researcher Theodore Ell accompanied his wife on her diplomatic posting to Lebanon and unexpectedly found himself a witness to a country on the brink of collapse. In 2019, facing economic meltdown, the people of Lebanon rose up, united in a revolution of hope. With the country on the precipice of war, Covid-19 then swept in and the eerie quiet of lockdowns descended—a silence tragically shattered in August 2020, when Ell narrowly survived the largest ever non-nuclear peacetime explosion, which destroyed half of Beirut. Everywhere from calm cedar forests to crowded Beirut bars, Ell listened to stories of the Lebanese people and tried to make sense of the maze of ideas, desires and illusions that create the Lebanon of their imagination, a place in sharp contrast to reality. In prose as lucid as it is emotionally rich, and based on reportage that won Ell the 2021 Calibre Prize, Lebanon Days welcomes those who wish to understand more than news footage can convey. This is the story of a nation largely ignored by the rest of the world, a complex country driven over the edge but still seeking faith in itself, seen through the eyes of an outsider drawn into its intimate struggle. 'An astonishing piece of writing.' Helen Garner on Ell's 'Façades of Lebanon', winner of the 2021 Calibre Essay Prize.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/793425Thu, 01 Aug 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/793425 to listen full audiobooks.

Through the eyes of an outsider, this story takes a deep dive into the intimate details of Lebanon's hardships, providing a profound understanding of its people and their journey. From 2018 to 2021, writer and researcher Theodore Ell accompanied his wife on her diplomatic posting to Lebanon and unexpectedly found himself a witness to a country on the brink of collapse. In 2019, facing economic meltdown, the people of Lebanon rose up, united in a revolution of hope. With the country on the precipice of war, Covid-19 then swept in and the eerie quiet of lockdowns descended—a silence tragically shattered in August 2020, when Ell narrowly survived the largest ever non-nuclear peacetime explosion, which destroyed half of Beirut. Everywhere from calm cedar forests to crowded Beirut bars, Ell listened to stories of the Lebanese people and tried to make sense of the maze of ideas, desires and illusions that create the Lebanon of their imagination, a place in sharp contrast to reality. In prose as lucid as it is emotionally rich, and based on reportage that won Ell the 2021 Calibre Prize, Lebanon Days welcomes those who wish to understand more than news footage can convey. This is the story of a nation largely ignored by the rest of the world, a complex country driven over the edge but still seeking faith in itself, seen through the eyes of an outsider drawn into its intimate struggle. 'An astonishing piece of writing.' Helen Garner on Ell's 'Façades of Lebanon', winner of the 2021 Calibre Essay Prize.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-profound-benefits-of-doing-a-stint-in-prison-by-andrew-hamilton--65182468https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/791371 to listen full audiobooks.

After researching the amazing pioneers who flew this fragile aircraft, a spark was ignited, and Amanda dreamed of emulating their adventures. On May 11, 2019, she made that dream a reality, taking off from Biggin Hill with the aim of flying to Darwin, Australia in twenty days—just as her idol Amy Johnson had done in 1930. Solo2Darwin documents one woman's exhilarating journey across the world. Indeed, the launch of her biplane, 'Solo2Darwin', received extensive press coverage, including print features in The Times and The Telegraph and TV footage broadcasted on ITV and Channel 5 News respectively. Faced with adversity, navigating through torturous mountain ranges covered in cloud, across seas, dodging thunderstorms, and surviving engine failures, Amanda's route had plenty of highs, lows, and drama. Alongside this she also experienced the difficulties of solo-flying a biplane and having to navigate dangerous regions across the world. What makes Amanda's expedition even more remarkable is that this was all undertaken whilst recovering from cancer. So strap in and prepare to go on a journey of a lifetime.

Do you think you know your neighbors pretty well? You really don't know what's going on behind the smile, the dress, and the doors of the house down the street. This is the story of a Canadian woman who was in the Advanced Training Institute, run by Bill Gothard, for fourteen years. The amazing thing is that she never knew she was in a cult until several years after she was out. That's what happened to Christine in 2014. She has spent the past nine years trying to deprogram and change the way she sees the world. The Advanced Training Institute had all the hallmarks of a cult, it even fit Bill Gothard's definition of a cult, but Christine and her family believed they were God's cream of the crop. Join her as she navigates the cult, goes through a divorce, finds out she was in a cult and subsequently has to unlearn all she believed to be true. Interestingly, this is the same cult the Duggar family of 19 Kids and Counting is a part of.

In the latter half of the war, our teenage author enlists in His Majesty King George VI’s Royal Navy and is assigned to serve as a naval Coder on several British warships, culminating on HMS Cavendish, a state-of-the-art Destroyer based primarily in the Southeast Asia theater of war. Throughout his service, the neophyte mariner chronicles his experiences, outrageous mishaps, and the life lessons he learns along his journey. At the conclusion of hostilities, we follow the path of the demobbed and restless young sailor upon his return to Britain as he explores a variety of careers and opportunities over the next decade in search of adventure and fulfillment. Written in a humorous and light-hearted manner, somewhat in the style of Jerome K. Jerome or P.G.

But a love for Nick Cave's band and a passion for indie music launched the author, Pete Elderkin, on a series of extraordinary events while following a dream to reach that holy grail for rock groups, a BBC Radio One John Peel session. Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure details the ups and downs of being in the wrong place and time while trying to DJ and run an exciting alternative music club in a what seemed a hostile, provincial environment.   This is a wry, self-depreciating memoir set over eleven years and telling the true story of The Sugar Club and how it, improbably, became one of the longest running nightclubs in the UK. It captures, with first-hand contributors, the fun experiences and social history of the unique 1990s and 2000s, when the grunge and Britpop scenes came from out of nowhere to the forefront of the UK music scene.     'I loved it.

A deeply personal and heart-breaking memoir that explores the troubled relationship between Mary Garden and her younger sister, Anna, who died in 2023 after a short illness. Mary unpacks her life of growing up in New Zealand in the 1950s and ’60s, before making Australia home. She reveals complex layers of intergenerational trauma, including the baggage of her eccentric, deeply flawed father and the secret her mother kept from all of them, revealed only after her death.

As she unravels these narratives, Mary touches on the guilt and shame familiar to anyone who has had to deal with secrets, violence and ‘madness’ in their family.

In life, Carolyn was a gregarious, smart-mouthed aspiring poet, who had seemingly gotten along well with Render, a reserved art handler.

Title: An American in the Making, the Life Story of an Immigrant Author: Marcus Eli Ravage Narrator: Lillian Carter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 35 minutes Release date: July 6, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: 'An American in the Making: The Life Story of an Immigrant' is an unconventional immigrant memoir written by Marcus Eli Ravage in 1917. Ravage, a Jewish American writer and journalist originally from Romania, provides a unique perspective on Americanization and the immigrant experience during the early 20th century. Here are some key points about this thought-provoking work: Context and Purpose: Ravage's memoir was conceived at a time when immigrant writers were competing with sociological accounts of 'the immigrant story.' Against the growing nativism of the late 1910s and 1920s, Ravage responded to previous representations of 'the immigrant' by both immigrant and American writers and critics. His work engages political and cultural debates surrounding Americanization. Challenging Americanization: Ravage presents an unexpected story of Americanization. He portrays himself as 'an American in the making,' neither fully Americanized nor a greenhorn but a subject of literary production. His memoir challenges the dialectic of Americanization and shows awareness of his objectification in contemporaneous sociological studies and photojournalistic exposés. Genre and Identity: Ravage rewrites the genre of immigrant autobiography. He invites readers to rethink assumptions about immigrant autobiography. By making immigrant and immigrant intellectual labor coterminous, he blurs the boundaries between these categories. Legacy: 'An American in the Making' remains timely, especially given contemporary debates about immigration and national identity. Ravage's memoir dramatizes the multifaceted facets of Americanization discourses and practices.

Koep Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 56 minutes Release date: July 2, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Gig, a slang word coined in the 1920s by jazz musicians, short for engagement or live musical performance, combined with the latin based suffix -mentia, meaning, condition of the mind, the invented word gigmentia might be defined as engagement of the mind. Or, perhaps, that confusing state of too many shows, too many late nights, too many repetitions to remember accurately—the struggle to recount the long performance that is our life. Gigmentia is a reflection on the raw, challenging, and gritty vocation of a blue-collar musician living in the Pacific Northwest, and the varied adventures of a hard working, day-in day-out rock band. Introspective, insightful, and eloquently observed, Koep chronicles a summer season of fifty rock shows performed in small clubs, huge bars, and on outdoor festival stages, in barns, backyards, and the middle of the woods. Between gigs, Koep writes of sword fights on the lawn with his young son, the challenges of building a household, of world travel, pop music, poetry, and of the fascinating pursuit of the writer’s craft as he works toward completing his third novel. As the summer wanes and he balances the rigors and joys of live performance, promoting his books, and being a father and partner, his mother descends into dementia and forgets the world around her, including her son.

A three-year absentee courtship follows, during which time the idea of Walt tethers Catherine to safety. She was programmed to marry someone like him, so she ignores the warning signs that they might not be a good match. Hoping to please her mother and seeking refuge from her fraught childhood, she marries and has children with him—but the marriage doesn’t last. Once divorced, Catherine finds herself in a war with Walt over money, and then over access to her children—and suddenly, she can no longer ignore her childhood trauma. The high stakes of her battle with her ex-husband forge her like steel, finding every vulnerability where she needs to heal. Gradually, she develops a backbone, relinquishes her trauma-induced, people-pleasing ways, and steps into her own power. Honest and unflinching, The Longest War reminds us that there’s always a way through when we access the courage within ourselves. No matter how painful life’s difficulties, they offer us the opportunity to heal ourselves and evolve into more open, loving, compassionate people.

Title: 16 Weeks & Everything After...: A Thalidomide Survivor's Journey to Self Discovery Author: Paul Whymark Narrator: Martin Carroll Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 37 minutes Release date: June 28, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Updated 2024 to include significant additional material from 2018 to 2024. At the 16 week foetal stage, Paul Whymark's brain development was frozen as a consequence of the drug, Thalidomide. His journey is one of considerable self discovery, but also reveals greater societal insights. '16 Weeks and Everything After...'uncovers the remarkable fact that over the last 50-60 years the establishment has failed to genuinely independently review Thalidomide, and as a consequence, harms on developing life continue to have the potential to occur into the future. Worse is that the insidious nature of many of the unacknowledged harms of Thalidomide are still not related to the drug. Hence such consequences are unrecognised and are at odds with official and textbook accounts even over 50 years on. Therefore, as well as appealing to general readers and other professionals, this book urgently needs to be on every medical personnel's (or trainee personnel's) required reading list. '16 Weeks and Everything After…' manages to communicate the minutia of subtle but all-important detail to uncover a quite different picture to that has been reported thus far. It has been written in an uplifting and heart-warming way, with the attitude of turning negatives into positives, but without losing sight of the underlying issues. The author has sought to stand up for his late mother, who like all mothers of children harmed by drugs consumed during pregnancy, carry the resulting additional challenges. This has sustained Paul's drive through the years of both official impasse and life's ups and downs. The book comprises a set of micro-narratives, but join together to reveal a significant personal journey in addition to a much larger and wider untold picture.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/793466Fri, 28 Jun 2024 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/793466 to listen full audiobooks.

Therefore, as well as appealing to general readers and other professionals, this book urgently needs to be on every medical personnel's (or trainee personnel's) required reading list. '16 Weeks and Everything After…' manages to communicate the minutia of subtle but all-important detail to uncover a quite different picture to that has been reported thus far. It has been written in an uplifting and heart-warming way, with the attitude of turning negatives into positives, but without losing sight of the underlying issues. The author has sought to stand up for his late mother, who like all mothers of children harmed by drugs consumed during pregnancy, carry the resulting additional challenges. This has sustained Paul's drive through the years of both official impasse and life's ups and downs. The book comprises a set of micro-narratives, but join together to reveal a significant personal journey in addition to a much larger and wider untold picture.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/portuguese-boletim-museu-historico-de-jatai-francisco-honorio-de-campos-by-prefeitura-de-jatai--65182425https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/804213 to listen full audiobooks.

Being a survivor of COVID, I knew the LORD still had a purpose for my life. I listened to the voice in my heart and knew I needed to write this book as an encouragement to others. Events happen in life that can cause us to see ourselves as victims or survivors. I choose using my Faith 'hat' to be a survivor; an overcomer in all things. You will read about my 60 day hospital stay and 4 month home health journey and how my identified 'hats' brought me through it all. My COVID survival is a miracle from GOD. Identify your 'hats' so the road in front of you can be paved; and a way made for you by HIM. May you always be an overcomer. After 40 years of teaching, I started living my retired life in the country home that my husband and I designed together. My faith journey spans several decades and I have worn many 'hats' during my life. I have tied them securely and held them in place with my Faith 'hat' to face many a trial and tribulation both emotionally and physically. I have experienced divorce 3 times, miscarriage twice, sexual assault, as well as having 2 beautiful children, enjoying relationships with siblings, experiencing grandchildren, and finally a soulmate and loving husband. I have learned to listen to the small voice in my heart and follow the LORD's leading.

Title: Arctic Adventure: My Life in the Frozen North Author: Peter Freuchen Narrator: Bobby Brill Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 16 hours 31 minutes Release date: June 4, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Shortly after his death in 1957, The New York Times obituary of Peter Freuchen noted that except for Richard E. Byrd, and despite his foreign beginnings, Freuchen was perhaps better known to more people in the United States than any other explorer of our time. During his lifetime Freuchen's remarkable adventures, related in his books, magazine articles, and films, made him a legend. In 1910, Freuchen and his friend and business partner, Knud Rasmussen, the renowned polar explorer, founded Thule-a Greenland Inuit trading post and village only 800 miles from the North Pole. Freuchen lived in Thule for 15 years, adopting ways of its natives. He married an Inuit woman, and together they had two children. Freuchen went on many expeditions, quite a few of which he barely survived, suffering frostbite, snow blindness, and starvation. Near the North Pole, there is no such thing as an easy and safe outing. In Arctic Adventure, Freuchen writes of polar bear hunts, of meeting Eskimos who had resorted to cannibalism during a severe famine, and of the thrill of seeing the sun after three months of winter darkness. Trained as a journalist before he headed north, Freuchen is a fine writer and great storyteller (he won an Oscar for his feature film script of Eskimo). He writes about the Inuit with genuine respect and affection, describing their stoicism amidst hardship, their spiritual beliefs, their ingenious methods of surviving their harsh environment, their humor and joy in the face of danger and difficulties, and the social politics behind such customs as wife-trading. While his experiences make this book unique, Freuchen's warmth, self-deprecating wit, writing skill, and anthropological observations make this book a literary stand out. ©1936, 1963 Peter Freuchen.

In 1910, Freuchen and his friend and business partner, Knud Rasmussen, the renowned polar explorer, founded Thule-a Greenland Inuit trading post and village only 800 miles from the North Pole. Freuchen lived in Thule for 15 years, adopting ways of its natives. He married an Inuit woman, and together they had two children. Freuchen went on many expeditions, quite a few of which he barely survived, suffering frostbite, snow blindness, and starvation. Near the North Pole, there is no such thing as an easy and safe outing. In Arctic Adventure, Freuchen writes of polar bear hunts, of meeting Eskimos who had resorted to cannibalism during a severe famine, and of the thrill of seeing the sun after three months of winter darkness. Trained as a journalist before he headed north, Freuchen is a fine writer and great storyteller (he won an Oscar for his feature film script of Eskimo). He writes about the Inuit with genuine respect and affection, describing their stoicism amidst hardship, their spiritual beliefs, their ingenious methods of surviving their harsh environment, their humor and joy in the face of danger and difficulties, and the social politics behind such customs as wife-trading. While his experiences make this book unique, Freuchen's warmth, self-deprecating wit, writing skill, and anthropological observations make this book a literary stand out. ©1936, 1963 Peter Freuchen.

Title: Too Good to Be True: The Unbelievable True Story of How the Father of My Children Lived a Double Life Author: Andrea Hunter Narrator: Sofia Engstrand Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 27 minutes Release date: January 8, 2024 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: They say that revenge is a dish best served cold - but how cold does it have to be? ?And should it be chopped, sliced or diced? What dish is best suited to a man who at one point had an ex-wife, a wife, a pregnant girlfriend and a new girlfriend - all at the same time? I was an independent, clever, blonde and slightly wild 31-year old Swedish girl when I in 1998 met the man of my dreams. A big hunk of an Englishman, with the looks of Marlon Brando (a young Marlon that is), lush Paul Newman lips and a wide Gene Kelly smile? Now, still independent, clever, not-so-blonde-and-wild but also deceived, dumped and ditched by that same man. Sixteen years together, and two kids. So what do you do when you find out that a big part of that has been a lie? Well - you write about it of course!? This is the true story about how Mr Right became the father of my boys. And how he turned out to be Mr Not-so-Right. Names have been changed of course, but the email correspondence, texts and conversations are real.

Title: I Quit Everything: How One Woman's Addiction to Quitting Helped Her Confront Bad Habits and Embrace Midlife Author: Freda Love Smith Narrator: Freda Love Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 38 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: An experimental account of one woman’s quest to shed addictive substances and behaviors from her life—which dares to ask if we’re really better off without them. In January 2021, Freda Love Smith, acclaimed rock musician and author of Red Velvet Underground, watched as insurgents stormed the U.S. Capitol. It felt like the culmination of eight months of pandemic anxiety. She needed a drink, badly. But she suspected a midday whiskey wouldn’t cure what was really ailing her—nor would her nightly cannabis gummy, or her four daily cups of tea, or any of the other substances she relied on to get through each day. Thus began her experiment to remove one addictive behavior from her life each month to see if sobriety was really all it was cracked up to be. With honesty and humor, Smith describes the effects of withdrawal from alcohol, sugar, caffeine, cannabis, and social media, weaving in her reflections on the childhood experiences and cultural norms that fed her addictions to these behaviors. Part personal history, part sociological research, and part wry observation on addiction, intoxication, media, and pandemic behavior, I Quit Everything will resonate with anyone who has danced with destructive habits—that is, those who are “sober curious” but not necessarily sober. Smith’s experiment goes beyond simply quitting these five addictive behaviors. Moved by the circumstances of the pandemic and the general state of the world, she ends up leaving an unsatisfying job for more meaningful work and reevaluating other significant details of her life, such as motherhood and the music that defined her career. More than a simple sobriety story, Smith’s book is an exploration of passion, legacy, and what becomes of our identities once we’ve quit everything.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/836406Tue, 07 Nov 2023 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/836406 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Motherland: A Memoir Author: Paula Ramón Narrator: Ana Osorio Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 25 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From Venezuelan reporter Paula Ramón comes a powerful memoir about one woman’s complicated relationship with her family as her beloved homeland collapses into ruin. In the span of a generation, oil-rich Venezuela spiraled into a dire state of economic collapse. Reporter Paula Ramón experienced the crisis firsthand as her middle-class family saw their quality of life deteriorate. Public services no longer functioned. Money lost its value. Her mother couldn’t afford to buy food, which was increasingly scarce. The once-prosperous country fell into ruin. Like many others, Ramón’s family struggled to survive each day in their beloved city, Maracaibo—until, one by one, they each made the unbearable choice to leave the home they love. In the end, it was Ramón’s mother, a widow, who stayed behind, loyal to the only home she’d ever known. In this heartbreaking mix of lived experience, family chronicle, and journalistic essay, Paula Ramón explores the anguish of her own relationships set against the staggering collapse of a country.

Pidgeon Pagonis always felt like their life was a constant attempt to fit in with other girls—a feeling that was only exacerbated when puberty failed to hit. They never understood why…until they uncovered the secret that had haunted their childhood. Bouncing between their Chicago home and the city’s children’s hospital, Pidgeon weathered a series of traumatic surgeries, fabrications, and misdirections. It wasn’t until college that Pidgeon pieced together the puzzle of their identity: they’d been born intersex but raised as a girl, their life shaped by lies that left them physically and mentally scarred. But for Pidgeon, what began as a shameful and traumatic discovery transforms into a painful yet joyous journey of self-love, truth, and healing. Pidgeon’s inspiring memoir is for everyone whose body and spirit defy expectations, a fierce challenge to a system hell-bent on enforcing binary definitions.

Title: A Place for Us: A Memoir Author: Brandon J. Wolf Narrator: Brandon J. Wolf Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 15 minutes Release date: July 1, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: From one of the most vital and passionate LGBTQ+ activists comes a powerful memoir about self-discovery, community, love, and resilience in the face of adversity. You never forget your first. First kiss. First love. First heartache. They all burrow their way into your subconscious, destined to reshape how you see the world forever. Growing up in rural Oregon, Brandon Wolf grappled with the devastating loss of his supportive mother and with the embedded racism and homophobia of a community that made him feel like an unwelcome stranger. After the lack of connection and role models led him down a spiral of risky behavior, Wolf escaped to survive. In Orlando, he found what he’d been searching for: belonging—in a community that was a safe space with people he’d come to call his chosen family. They taught Wolf how to love, and be loved, unconditionally. Then, on June 12, 2016, in an exhilarating refuge where Wolf and hundreds of others had discovered a liberating new normal, they were suddenly challenged with fighting for a way out—in order to survive. Overnight, everything was ripped away by chaos, panic, and fear. But the unimaginable tragedy also gave Wolf a new power: purpose. In this unforgettable coming-of-age memoir, Wolf shares his transformative journey from young outsider to galvanizing activist. Marshaling the compassion and strength of a community, Wolf explores how to get through the darkest times with healing, hope, and resistance. “With our backs against the wall,” he writes, “we find a way out together.”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/794858Sat, 01 Jul 2023 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/794858 to listen full audiobooks.

Davies Activist. Journalist. Survivor. One man’s journey from prejudice to Pride. Paul Burston wasn’t always the iconic voice of LGBTQ+ London that he is today. Paul came out in the mid-1980s, when ‘gay’ still felt like a dirty word, especially in the small Welsh town where he grew up. He moved to London hoping for a happier life, only to watch in horror as his new-found community was decimated by AIDS. But even in the depths of his grief, Paul vowed never to stop fighting back on behalf of his young friends whose lives were cut tragically short. It’s a promise he’s kept to this day. As an activist he stormed the House of Commons during the debate over the age of consent. As a journalist he spoke up for the rights of the community at a time of tabloid homophobia and legal inequality. As a novelist he founded the groundbreaking Polari Prize. But his lifestyle hid a dark secret, and Paul’s demons—shame, trauma, grief—stalked him on every corner. In an attempt to silence them, he began to self-medicate. From almost drowning at eighteen to a near-fatal overdose at thirty-eight, this is Paul’s story of what happened in the twenty years between, and how he carved out a life that his teenage self could scarcely have imagined.

In April 1999, reporter Tamara Leitner woke to an active crime scene outside her Arizona apartment. Her neighbor had been sexually assaulted by a man who would later be identified as Claude Dean Hull II, a serial rapist who escaped justice for decades. New identities. New states. New victims—more than one hundred suspected across the country and thousands more victimized in myriad ways. Tamara’s twenty-year compulsion to follow the investigation began.

It not only reveals the struggles of the justice system to help victims of sexual violence but explores how these resilient women—and Tamara herself—strove to reclaim their power in the wake of indelible trauma.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/german-quintessenzen-uberlebenskunst-fur-anfanger-by-sven-bottcher--65182452https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/798453 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: [Korean] - 세상에서 가장 느린 달팽이의 속도로 Author: 김인선 Narrator: 전상조 Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 47 minutes Release date: November 11, 2022 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: 현실과 꿈 사이, 도시와 자연 사이, 이승과 저승 사이를 떠돌며 끊임없이 마음에 굴러 떨어지는 문장들 김인선은 1980년대 말 『뿌리깊은나무』와 『샘이깊은물』 등의 잡지사에서 기자로 일하면서 이미 뛰어난 문장으로 두각을 드러냈지만, 가세가 기울어 일찌감치 낙향한 이후 평생 빚에 쫓기며 일정한 직업을 갖지 않았다. 지난 2018년 김인선이 급환으로 홀연 세상을 떠나자, 평소 그의 글재주를 알고 사랑하던 이들이 슬픔과 함께 안타까움을 느끼며 이 책을 기획했다. 신간 『세상에서 가장 느린 달팽이의 속도로』는 그의 사후 저자의 컴퓨터 하드디스크에서 발견된 산문과 그가 온라인에 남겼던 글, 출판을 계획하고 집필하던 괴담 형식의 글을 선별해 한 권으로 엮어 세상에 선보인, 그의 첫 책이자 마지막 책이다. 작성된 시기에 따라 계절별로 엮은 이 책에는 시시때때로 변화하는 자연 속에서 동식물과 어울려 살아가는 즐거움, 농촌의 인간군상에 대한 생동감 넘치는 묘사와 함께 곤궁한 생활을 버티게 하는 허풍, 삶과 죽음에 대한 독특한 철학, 현실과 꿈의 경계를 뛰어넘는 기이한 이야기들이 뒤섞여 있다. 그리고 그가 쓴 글에는 부적응자이자 아웃사이더인 동시에 자연 속에서 천진하게 살아가는 사색가, 현실과 환상의 경계를 넘나드는 이야기꾼, 자신마저 웃음거리로 삼는 탁월한 농담가의 면모가 담겨 있다. 평범한 일상을 블랙코미디나 판타지로 각색하는 재담, 살아 있는 모든 것들에 대한 애정 어린 관찰과 탐구, 우리말의 감칠맛을 살린 고유한 문체는 김인선이라는 작가의 진면목을 가늠하게 해, 그의 죽음을 더욱 안타깝게 한다. 김인선 '문득 내가 잃어버린 게 오리가 아니라 나 자신일지도 모른다는 생각이 들었다.' 서울에서 태어났다. 서강대 철학과를 졸업하고 『뿌리깊은나무』와 『샘이깊은물』을 비롯해 몇몇 잡지사와 출판사에서 일했다. 사람이 많은 곳과 시끄러운 곳을 싫어하고 아침에 일찍 일어나야 하는 것과 매일 출근해야 하는 것을 불편하게 여겼으며 '인스퍼레이션'이 없다는 이유로 회사를 금세 그만두곤 했다. 마흔이 넘어 집안이 쫄딱 망한 이후 경기도 산자락 마을에서 지냈는데, 타고난 낙천가인지라 괴로운 생활에서도 나름 즐거움을 찾았다. 소일거리로 밭농사를 지으며 남들이 하찮아 하는 개와 닭과 오리를 돌보고 새의 언어를 연구하고 곤충의 행태를 관찰하면서 태평할 수도, 한심할 수도 있는 세월을 보냈다. 오페라 해설지 번역으로 푼돈을 벌고 온라인에서 닉네임으로 글을 썼으나 곤궁에서 벗어나지 못하고 무명인 채 서둘러 세상을 떠났다. 목차 春 夏 秋 冬 '맘대로 하라 그래! 난 더 잃어버릴 것이 없어!' 모든 것을 잃고 떠나온 곳에서 발견한 자연의 원초적인 힘 이 책에 수록된 글들은 대개 2005년 이후 십여 년 집필되었으며, 경기도의 전원마을을 배경으로 한다. 서울토박이였던 김인선은 마흔 무렵 집안이 쫄딱 망한 후 산자락 마을에서 지내게 되면서 뜻밖에 자연이 주는 즐거움을 알게 되었다고 회고한다. 도시의 바쁘고 시끄러운 일상을 견디기 어려워하던 그는 산과 들에 핀 온갖 식물의 이름을 불러주고 새들의 울음소리에 귀 기울이면서 자연을 재발견한다.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/801609Fri, 11 Nov 2022 06:02:04 +0000Sterling SporerPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/801609 to listen full audiobooks.
