Once Upon a Time in the Black West , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 74min

Miller. When you read along with the Old Cowboy narrating his adventures with his trusty canine companion Sundown, you’ll be drawn back into a different place and era.When the Old Cowboy speaks in a jargon that reflects his western heritage, you’ll root for the likes of Nat Love. At the tender age of fifteen in 1869, he rode into Dodge City Kansas in its heyday and was enamored at his first glimpse of cowboys and decided he wouldn’t be anything in life other than this. Again, there is an interesting story about how a young man of nineteen, half Cherokee-Indian and half African-American turned to a life of crimes. He watched his Native American family gets swallowed up by America’s expansion into the West. After attending the Carlisle School for Indians in Pennsylvania, young Crawford changed his name to “Cherokee Bill.” And the last story in this enthralling volume, the legend of “stagecoach” Mary Fields.“After growing up on a plantation with her childhood friend, they reconnected thirty years later and she got Mary a job as a stagecoach driver carrying the United States mail. This is the first volume of many more thrilling stories to come in Once Upon a Time in the Black West. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert H. Miller.

Gratitude in Motion: A True Story of Hope, Determination, and the Everyday Heroes Around Us , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min
It was a beautiful fall day in Connecticut when Colleen Kelly Alexander, a lifelong athlete, rode her bike home from work. She had survived both a diagnosis of lupus and brain surgery, had a fulfilling career, and was married at last to the love of her life. Everything was good as she coasted along, meeting the eyes of a truck driver as he approached the stop sign beside her. He didn't stop. The truck hit Colleen, running over her lower body with front and back tires and dragging her across the pavement. As she bled out in the street, nearby strangers surrounded her and the driver attempted to get away. An EMT herself, Colleen knew she had to stay awake. "I've just been reconnected with my soulmate", she told the medic. "We want to have a baby. I can't die now. Please don't let me die." Five weeks in a coma and 29 surgeries later, Colleen survived. Rather than let the trauma and PTSD control her life, she became determined to find a way to make something positive from her pain. She decided she'd run again and dedicate her race medals to the everyday heroes around us, including the medical staff and blood donors who saved her life. Since then Colleen has run 50 races and completed 40 triathlons, including four half-Ironman events. Now a spokesperson for the Red Cross, Colleen shares her incredible inspirational story to encourage others to take that first step forward.

Heartache Past: Rescued Hearts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 315min
This is the story of two small town childhood sweethearts from the 1950s, on the verge of graduating high school and becoming man and wife, when suddenly, heartbreaking tragedy tears their world apart. Now, with a broken destiny and an unplanned future that does not include each other, life continues to run in the wrong direction for both Jack Masters and Lillian Maxwell. Incredibly, though, this is also a story of love redeemed and a destiny ultimately fulfilled. Regardless of the fact that it has been almost half a century, and that a distance of over 10,000 miles separates the two, fate has supernaturally reconnected the couple, proving once again that it is never too late for a second chance at happiness. The story of Jack and Lillian is filled with teenage optimism, young love, tragedy, and hopelessness, but surprisingly, it culminates in absolute amazement and joy. With both a modern day setting as well as historical flashbacks, which include a number of 1950s rock and roll music legends, this story of hearts rescued, and lovers reunited, will draw you in and capture your heart. Tom DiFrancesca writes from the heart, passionately. He has experienced a great deal of both love and tragic loss in his lifetime. A parent should never have to bury one of their children and that hurt never fully leaves them. Hearts should never be broken but the author has been on the losing end of that deal, several times, as well. On the other hand, reuniting with a childhood sweetheart is not something that is limited to romance fiction, not by a long shot. The author has recently lived and breathed that experience for himself and he will now forever be a very thankful and happy man. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nancy Isaacs.

Of Love and Evil: The Songs of the Seraphim, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 334min
“I dreamed a dream of angels. I saw them and heard them in a great and endless galactic night. I saw the lights that were these angels, flying here and there, in streaks of irresistible brilliance.... I felt love around me in this vast and seamless realm of sound and light.... And something akin to sadness swept me up and mingled my very essence with the voices who sang, because the voices were singing of me....”Thus begins Anne Rice’s lyrical, haunting new novel, a metaphysical thriller of angels and assassins that once again summons up dark and dangerous worlds set in times past. Anne Rice takes us to other realms, this time to the world of 15th-century Rome, a city of domes and rooftop gardens, rising towers and crosses beneath an ever-shifting layer of clouds; familiar hills and tall pines...of Michelangelo and Raphael, of the Holy Inquisition and of Leo X, second son of a Medici, holding forth from the papal throne.... And into this time, into this century, Toby O’Dare, former government assassin, is summoned by the angel Malchiah to solve a terrible crime of poisoning and to search out the truth of a haunting by an earthbound restless spirit - a diabolical dybbuk.O’Dare soon discovers himself in the midst of dark plots and counterplots surrounded by a darker and more dangerous threat as the veil of ecclesiastical terror closes in around him.As he embarks on a powerful journey of atonement, O’Dare is reconnected with his own past, with matters light and dark, fierce and tender, with the promise of salvation and with a deeper and richer vision of love. ungekürzt.

If Not for You: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 646min
An emotionally stirring novel that shows how obstacles can be overcome, differences can be strengths, and sometimes a choice can seem wrong, even though it's absolutely right. If not for her loving but controlling parents, Beth Prudhomme might never have taken charge of her life and moved from her native Chicago to Portland, Oregon, where she's reconnected with her spirited aunt Sunshine and found a job as a high school music teacher. If not for her friend Nichole, Beth would never have met Sam Carney, although first impressions have left Beth with serious doubts. Sam is everything Beth is not - and her parents' worst nightmare: a tattooed auto mechanic who's rough around the edges. Reserved and smart as a whip, Beth isn't exactly Sam's usual beer-drinking, pool-playing type of woman, either. But if not for an awkward setup one evening, Beth might never have left early and been involved in a car crash. And if not for Sam - who witnessed the terrifying ordeal, rushed to her aid, and stayed with her until help arrived - Beth might have been all alone, or worse. Yet as events play out, Sam feels compelled to check on Beth almost daily at the hospital - even bringing his guitar to play songs to lift her spirits. Soon their unlikely friendship evolves into an intense attraction that surprises them both. Before long, Beth's strong-willed mother, Ellie, blows into town spouting harsh opinions, especially about Sam, and reopening old wounds with Sunshine. When shocking secrets from Sam's past are revealed, Beth struggles to reconcile her feelings. But when Beth goes a step too far, she risks losing the man and the life she's come to love. ungekürzt.

Our Auntie Rosa: The Family of Rosa Parks Remembers Her Life and Lessons , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 251min
In this most intimate portrait yet of a great American hero, "the lady who wouldn't give up her seat on the bus", the family of Rosa Parks describes the woman who was not only the mother of the Civil Rights Movement but a nurturing mother figure to them as well. Her brave act on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, on December 1, 1955, was just one moment in a life lived with great humility and decency. In Our Auntie Rosa, Mrs. Parks' loved ones share their remembrances and reflections to create a previously unpainted picture of the real woman behind the legend. Rosa Parks largely disappeared from the public when she and her husband, Raymond, relocated to Detroit in 1957, escaping the violently racist South. It was in Detroit where Mrs. Parks reconnected with her only sibling, Sylvester McCauley, whom she affectionately called "Brother", and her 13 nieces and nephews. Years later, after Raymond's and Sylvester's deaths, these children would become her only family and the closest that she would ever experience to having biological sons and daughters. Mrs. Parks would go on to receive the 1996 Presidential Medal of Freedom and a spot on Time's list of the hundred most influential people of the 20th century as well as 43 honorary doctorate degrees, and dozens of city streets, community centers, and monuments are named for her - to mention just a few tributes. Yet the woman her family knew as "Auntie Rosa" was a soft-spoken person whom very few people actually knew. In this book, her family shares with listeners what she shared with them about her experiences growing up in the racist South, her deep dedication to truth and justice, and the personal values she held closest to her heart. ungekürzt.

Good Bad and Oh My God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 627min
The Gateauxs' and the Wileys' feud didn't match the ferocity of the Hatfields' and the McCoys' but they didn't like each other.

His elementary school days were highlighted in a battle with the 2nd grade class bully. Boo's training in fisticuffs paid off and he wiped the bully for pushing the little girl he had a crush on and making her cry. His middle school days were marred when a district scout leader sat by him in a downtown movie and attempted to molest him. The event was a deep dark secret he shared with no one but it kindled a hate for "dirty queers" the words used in his day and time to describe people that were gay. His high school was filled with the boxing team,the drama club,outrageous pranks, and employment at the local radio station. He continued as a disk jockey on 12 radio stations for 30 years. The profession introduced him to many humorous and unusual characters and celebrities. He was married five times and one wife in a fit of jealous rage shot him. In his latter years a phone call reconnected him with a childhood friend who had been more like a brother then a friend. In the course of the conversation the relation of his youth mentioned that he was gay.
