    From her earliest days, Cynthia Argil’s existence was shaped by poverty, betrayal, and grief. Those tough, formative years left her with a hardened heart and fierce sense of independence, but the Lord had a different plan in store for the young woman.Of course, His path was not always easy. When fate’s rocks rained down and their weight and impact became too much, Cynthia slid towards a dark abyss. But as she approached that precipice signs, dreams, and visions would intercede. I am the Great I am, came the voice. Knowing she was no longer alone, Cynthia’s cloak of self-sufficiency dropped to the ground. Praising the Lord, blaring Christian music on the road and proclaiming her faith on T-shirts, Cynthia finally belonged to someone. A new woman had been born.But the greatest test of her faith was yet to come.It began with the cries of her sons as they walked in the shadow of death. Father, I am your daughter! You would not allow anything to happen to your daughter. Where are you? The voice of solace was gone, rejection left in its place. Satan has asked for you, and I said Yes. From walking the path of the Lord’s beloved Peter, Cynthia now found herself His Job.Norah follows one woman’s journey from grief to glory, and resentment to redemption. It’s a tale of losing it all, only to realize that every child in God’s kingdom is heir to love and prosperity beyond their wildest imagining. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nicole Carino.

    For her first 40 years, Jo Haldeman’s life followed a conventional path. While her husband, Bob, built his career in advertising, Jo comfortably settled into her role as mother of four, housewife, and community volunteer.In 1968, Jo’s world changed dramatically. Richard Nixon was elected President of the United States, and Bob was offered the job of a lifetime - White House Chief of Staff. As Jo and Bob discussed the opportunities and challenges that this move would entail, little did she anticipate the course that her life, and her relationship with Bob, would take over the next 10 years.In this insightful, poignant, and guileless memoir of those 10 years, Jo shares her story as the wife of H. R. Haldeman, often referred to as the second most powerful person in the White House. She offers a window into the world of trips on Air Force One, weekends at Camp David, and events at the White House, as well as family vignettes and the growing stresses of her husband’s demanding job.Then a bungled burglary at the Watergate erupted into a national scandal. The news began to feature the Haldeman name. Blaring headlines and vicious political cartoons accompanied new revelations of a cover-up. Multiple investigations and Senate hearings followed. Criminal proceedings loomed.Jo’s compelling account takes the listener on her journey from the heady heights of Washington life through an excruciating public resignation and trial to her husband’s conviction and imprisonment. In a true period piece, Jo illuminates the story of the "woman behind the man" and personalizes the Watergate experience.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jo Haldeman.

    The Secret Life of the Librarian: Secret Pleasures, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min, (USK 18)
    I love books. That's probably obvious based on the fact that I'm a librarian. But I don't just love reading books. I also love writing books. I specialize in erotic fiction - the naughtier, the better. There's only one problem - I can't write about something unless I experience it in real life. So once my day in the library is over, I got out looking for sexy situations I can write about in my books. I've got an exciting night planned tonight. One of my favorite bands is in town and I've got floor seats to the show. I love hard rock music - the louder, the better. When you spend all day surrounded by the silence of a library, the blaring noise and excitement of a rock concert is exactly what you need. And who knows? Maybe I can find some sexy fun for my next book before the night is over. I stop home to change after my shift at the library. Off goes the button down shirt, knee length pencil skirt, and sensible heels. I won't need the reading glasses tonight either. I pull the pins out of the tight bun I always wear to work and shake out my mane of long, glossy black hair. Tonight I'll leave my hair down, wear my tight denim skirt and my cut off T-shirt from the last time I saw the band in concert. I zip up a pair of knee high black leather boots and head out to the arena.This sexy librarian will rock your world and write a book about it! Don't judge a book by its cover because this librarian is hiding a secret wild side. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Devie LaRue.

    USA Trilogy
    Unique among American books for its epic scope and panoramic social sweep, U.S.A. has long been acknowledged as a monument of modern fiction. Now The Library of America presents an exclusive one-volume edition of this enduring masterwork by John Dos Passos, including for the first time detailed notes and a chronicle of the world events that serve as a backdrop. In the novels that make up the trilogy-The 42nd Parallel, 1919, and The Big Money-Dos Passos creates an unforgettable collective portrait of America, shot through with sardonic comedy and brilliant social observation. He interweaves the careers of his characters and the events of their time with a narrative verve and breathtaking technical skill that make U.S.A. among the most compulsively readable of modern classics. A startling range of experimental devices captures the textures and background noises of twentieth-century life: "Newsreels" with blaring headlines; autobiographical "Camera Eye" sections with poetic stream-of-consciousness; "biographies" evoking emblematic historical figures like J.P. Morgan, Henry Ford, John Reed, Frank Lloyd Wright, Thorstein Veblen, and the Unknown Soldier. Holding everything together is sheer storytelling power, tracing dozens of characters from the Spanish-American War to the onset of the Depression. The U.S.A. trilogy is filled with American speech: labor radicals and advertising executives, sailors and stenographers, interior decorators and movie stars. Their crisscrossing destinies take in wars and revolutions, desperate love affairs and harrowing family crises, corrupt public triumphs and private catastrophes, in settings that include the trenches of World War I, insurgent Mexico, Hollywood studios in the silent era, Wall Street boardrooms, and the tumultuous streets of Boston just before the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti. The volume contains newly researched chronologies of Dos Passos's life and of world events cited in U.S.A., notes, and an essay on textual selection. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

    Real Elections 2020: A Call to Action , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 348min
    Real Elections 2020 is a call to action on how to upgrade our political elections system so that the people can vote directly for or against the best solutions to the nation's most pressing problems. Real democracy at last. In this audiobook, I give you the who, what, where, when, and how to have real elections - a real democracy in this country before it's too late to save us all.In this year’s elections for the president of the United States, we’re faced with a huge dilemma. We are almost certain to suffer from the interference into our elections by at least one foreign power, maybe even more than one or two. We know this because our own intelligence community, the FBI, CIA, and the Department of Homeland Security have already seen evidence of this fact and have sounded a blaring alarm for the 2020 elections.The only question we must ask ourselves now is what the hell are we going to do about it?  Who are we if we cannot make changes to the world in which we were born? Are we robots? Or, are we like ants who move about the world following a chemical trail made by others like us who moved along the road just in front of us?  But in our case, the chemical contrails we leave behind are so toxic and suffocating and poisons the planet so much that we may soon become the first species in billions of years of evolution who intentionally, and with malice for all, kills off all lifeforms on our own planet. Here’s another example ripped out of the headlines of what it would look like and how it would feel: It's national ballot measures...and why not? Is it time to change the system of elections? What is a nation that's all about democracy if we can't get any real democracy? In the real elections, we the people will soon be deciding how much taxes we should pay our government, what form our taxes should take, whether we may want to tax the major greedy corporations socking away billions instead of the hard-working just bare ungekürzt.

    Why You Should Never Live in a City, the Advantages and Disadvantages of Living in a City, and Why Mobile Homes Are the Most Affordable and Quintessential Housing Option , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 162min
    This essay sheds light on why you should never live in a city and also elucidates the advantages and disadvantages of living in a city. Moreover, why mobile homes are the most affordable and quintessential housing option and the advantages and disadvantages appertaining to owning a mobile home are delineated in this essay. Furthermore, how to make substantial money online so that you can afford to live in a city is expounded upon in this essay. In spite of their touted merits, there are a myriad of reasons as to why you should never live in a city. While the prospect of indulging in city life may seem tantalizing, enticing, and enthralling, you will succumb to being disillusioned by the throes of city life once you experience what it has to offer firsthand. Some people would even make the contention that city life is terrible for an individual to indulge in experiencing and takes a deleterious toll on your health since the city is fraught with carcinogens, neurotoxins, endocrine disputers, noxious compounds, allergens, irritants, and brackish pollutants that profusely pervade the city’s air. If prioritizing your health and circumventing the rancid smell of cigarette smoke and car exhaust emissions was not your concern then perhaps you will be deterred to live in the city due to the inundation of uncaring crowds on every block and all the noise blaring out around every city street. Living in the city can adversely impinge on your circadian rhythm since there is exposure to constant light. Moreover, the face paced lifestyle of city living in which everyone is always in a rush and scrambling to get to their destination renders the life of a city dweller all the more hectic and stressful. This ultimately caused an increased risk of developing a mood disorder. The pervasive presence of indoor pollutants, allergens, and microbes creates an increase risk of contracting asthma in addition to triggering the immune system responses.

    Shelf Life
    "As a bookseller, I loved Shelf Life for the chance to peer behind the curtain of Diwan, Nadia Wassef's Egyptian bookstore-the way that the personal is inextricable from the professional, the way that failure and success are often lovers, the relationship between neighborhoods and books and life. Nadia's story is for every business owner who has ever jumped without a net, and for every reader who has found solace in the aisles of a bookstore."-Emma Straub, author of All Adults Here"Shelf Life is such a unique memoir about career, life, love, friendship, motherhood, and the impossibility of succeeding at all of them at the same time. It is the story of Diwan, the first modern bookstore in Cairo, which was opened by three women, one of whom penned this book. As a bookstore owner I found this fascinating. As a reader I found it fascinating. Blunt, honest, funny."-Jenny Lawson, author of Broken (in the best possible way)The warm and winning story of opening a modern bookstore where there were none, Shelf Life: Chronicles of a Cairo Bookseller recounts Nadia Wassef's troubles and triumphs as a founder and manager of Cairo-based DiwanThe streets of Cairo make strange music. The echoing calls to prayer; the raging insults hurled between drivers; the steady crescendo of horns honking; the shouts of street vendors; the television sets and radios blaring from every sidewalk. Nadia Wassef knows this song by heart.In 2002, with her sister, Hind, and their friend, Nihal, she founded Diwan, a fiercely independent bookstore. They were three young women with no business degrees, no formal training, and nothing to lose. At the time, nothing like Diwan existed in Egypt. Culture was languishing under government mismanagement, and books were considered a luxury, not a necessity. Ten years later, Diwan had become a rousing success, with ten locations, 150 employees, and a fervent fan base.Frank, fresh, and very funny, Nadia Wassef's memoir tells the story of this journey. Its eclectic cast of characters features Diwan's impassioned regulars, like the demanding Dr. Medhat; Samir, the driver with CEO aspirations; meditative and mythical Nihal; silent but deadly Hind; dictatorial and exacting Nadia, a self-proclaimed bitch to work with-and the many people, mostly men, who said Diwan would never work.Shelf Life is a portrait of a country hurtling toward revolution, a feminist rallying cry, and an unapologetic crash course in running a business under the law of entropy. Above all, it is a celebration of the power of words to bring us home.
