Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 27 mins

Summary:
Following the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, three women - Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, and Patrisse Khan-Cullors - came together to form an active response to the systemic racism causing the deaths of so many African-Americans.
They simply said: Black Lives Matter; and for that, they were labelled terrorists. In this empowering account of survival, strength, and resilience, Patrisse Khan-Cullors and award-winning author and journalist Asha Bandele recount the personal story that led Patrisse to become a founder of Black Lives Matter, seeking to end the culture that declares Black life expendable.
Like the era-defining movement she helped create, this rallying cry demands you do not avert your attention. With a foreword by Angela Davis.

Title: Alone
Author: Brett Archibald
Narrator: Byron Mandahl
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 58 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-07-17
Publisher: Macmillan Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Alone is an intense audiobook that will push listeners to face their deepest fears and realize the human capacity for survival.
In April 2013, 50-year-old Brett Archibald was onboard a surf-charter boat, making a nighttime crossing of the remote Mentawai Strait off Sumatra, Indonesia. In the middle of a storm, ill with severe food poisoning, he blacked out. When he came to, he found himself in the raging sea, 60 miles from shore. As Brett saw the lights of his boat disappearing into the darkness, it became clear that no one had seen him fall and that no one would hear his shouts for help. He was alone in the ocean.
It would be eight hours before his friends realized he was missing. At that point, a frantic search began for a single man somewhere in thousands of square miles of heaving waves. The rough weather meant that no planes or helicopters could assist in the search. According to the experts, he should have died within 10 to 14hours.
Instead, Brett battled Portuguese man o' war and jellyfish, sharks, seagulls, and the stormy seas for more than 28 hours. Alone is the remarkable tale of his miraculous survival and rescue. It is also the story of what it takes to defy extraordinary odds and the incredible power of the human spirit.

Narrator: Debbie Jorde
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins
Language: English
Release date: 06-02-16
Publisher: Debra Jorde
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Like most expectant mothers, 39 years ago, Debbie Jorde was expecting her first perfect baby. She already had what she perceived to be the perfect marriage, as well as what she thought was the perfect life. Then came the delivery date and her perfect baby wasn't so physically perfect, in fact, she was severely disabled and deformed. She wasn't even expected to live and the doctors had few answers.
After her second child was born, with the same disabilities, came the dissolution of what Debbie thought was a perfect marriage. She was destined to become a single mother dependent on public aid to help care for her children. The illusion of her perceived perfect life was reduced to that of a divorced, single mom raising children with lung disease, autism, and a rare disabling disorder called Miller Syndrome that affects only 30 other people worldwide.
Debbie found herself forced into an odyssey of self-examination through issues such as divorce, single motherhood, eating disorders, addiction, self-worth, and the definition of beauty. The challenges faced in the process led Debbie to redefine her definition of happiness, success, and perfection. The lessons learned and insights gained transformed her life into one that, while it won't ever be perfect, is full of acceptance, courage, and joy.
Eight Fingers and Eight Toes: Accepting Life's Challenges is a story of the power of a mother's love for her children and her journey of self-love. It is a story of struggles and learning to accept and overcome challenges. One takes a front row seat as the author learns answers to questions asked decades ago that result in part from the family being the first ever to have their entire genome sequenced.
The book is a reminder that in spite of the trials that cause us to think life isn't so perfect, with a little courage and a lot of love, all can learn to accept and overcome challenges, resulting in a more fulfilling life of happiness and joy.

Fuzzy-haired, neurotic, cello-playing Catrina is devastated when her lover, Jack, leaves her to go surfing on the other side of the world. Trapped in a dead-end job and torn by his departure, Catrina dreams of running away. But how do you run away when you're flat broke? Luckily, her friend Andrew comes up with a plan: they'll get an old van, turn it into a camper, and busk their way from Norway to Portugal, via the midnight sun. Andrew is one of her oldest friends and they share many of the same passions and interests, including music.
When Andrew is killed in a tragic accident, Catrina decides to go it alone, encountering one disaster after another. She sleeps in her van, gets lost, and struggles to find the confidence to play her cello in front of her growing audience, but meets complete strangers who offer her advice, encouragement, and support along the way. Her experiences on the road gradually teach her the real meaning of love, courage, and above all else, the importance of following her dreams.
This is an unforgettable story of a journey like no other - a deeply emotional and inspirational debut by a unique storyteller.

All seven men were united in courage; and some, like poet Alan Seeger, paid the ultimate sacrifice. Before he was killed in battle, Seeger penned the immortal words that inspired this book's title: "I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north again this year, And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous."

Release date: 06-01-16

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
My father's notebook, kept carefully throughout his World War One service, is a treasured family keepsake. It was, however, rarely actually read, much less consulted for its first-hand account of his experiences on the Western Front. We all knew the basics, that he had been on the front lines on Armistice Day, November 11, 1918, and had recorded that fact. I transcribed that day's moving entry a few years back, and sent it to each of his grandchildren.
With the approach of the centennial of World War One, and America's entry in 1917, it seemed the right time to take a closer look at the notebook. I am glad that I did. It was written in pencil, but fortunately, during a period of convalescence, Dad had gone over much of it with pen and ink. He had also supplemented his notebook entries with more broadly focused memos, which gave depth and context to his earlier notebook entries, when the writer was mindful of security restrictions. Gradually, as the weeks passed, the handwriting became more familiar. The outlines of the story, how Dad enlisted, trained at Fort Devens, Massachusetts with his 301st Signal Corps Field Battalion, and then went to France were becoming familiar. The larger story was fascinating, including their naval convoy across the U-Boat infested North Atlantic, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Great Britain, and passage across the Channel.
Then came the eastward movement through a rail and training network largely laid out by General Pershing in 1917 across France to the eastern sector, which was to become the American Sector, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, Lorraine. That is where Dad's journey led, to an isolated and rocky hill on the Moselle named Mousson Hill, and combat with the American Sixth Corps. It was the time of the St. Mihiel Salient, and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive.

Title: The Argonauts
Author: Maggie Nelson
Narrator: Maggie Nelson
Format: Unabridged
Length: 4 hrs and 48 mins
Language: English
Release date: 06-01-16
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
An intrepid voyage out to the frontiers of the latest thinking about love, language, and family.
Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts is a genre-bending memoir, a work of "autotheory" offering fresh, fierce, and timely thinking about desire, identity, and the limitations and possibilities of love and language. At its center is a romance: the story of the author's relationship with the artist Harry Dodge. This story, which includes Nelson's account of falling in love with Dodge, who is fluidly gendered, as well as her journey to and through a pregnancy, is an intimate portrayal of the complexities and joys of (queer) family-making.
Writing in the spirit of public intellectuals such as Susan Sontag and Roland Barthes, Nelson binds her personal experience to a rigorous exploration of what iconic theorists have said about sexuality, gender, and the vexed institutions of marriage and child-rearing. Nelson's insistence on radical individual freedom and the value of caretaking becomes the rallying cry of this thoughtful, unabashed, uncompromising book.

Summary of A Mother's Reckoning by Sue Klebold | Includes Analysis
Preview:
In her memoir A Mother's Reckoning, Sue Klebold struggles to come to terms with her son Dylan's role in the infamous Columbine High School shooting. Writing 16 years after the shooting, she reflects on when and where things went wrong for Dylan - and how she and her husband, who were loving parents, could have missed the warning signs.
Klebold's story begins with the voicemail that changed her life. At lunchtime on April 20, 1999, in her office in Littleton, Colorado, she listened to a cryptic message from her husband, Tom. Though she intuited that something had happened to one of their two children, she had no way of knowing that Dylan was already a murderer. Returning Tom's call, she had what would be the first of many vague and unsatisfying conversations that day. Her husband knew there had been a shooting at Columbine, Dylan's high school, but little else....

Title: Voyager
Author: Russell Banks
Narrator: Mark Bramhall
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 20 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-31-16
Publisher: HarperAudio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
The acclaimed, award-winning novelist takes us on some of his most memorable journeys in this revelatory collection of travel essays that spans the globe, from the Caribbean to Scotland to the Himalayas.
Now in his mid-70s, Russell Banks has indulged his wanderlust for more than half a century. "Since childhood, I've longed for escape, for rejuvenation, for wealth untold, for erotic and narcotic and sybaritic fresh starts, for high romance, mystery, and intrigue," he writes in this compelling anthology. The longing for escape has taken him from the "bright green islands and turquoise seas" of the Caribbean islands to peaks in the Himalayas, the Andes, and beyond.
In Voyager, Russell Banks, a lifelong explorer, shares highlights from his travels: interviewing Fidel Castro in Cuba; motoring to a hippie reunion with college friends in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; eloping to Edinburgh with his fourth wife, Chase; driving a sunset-orange metallic Hummer down Alaska's Seward Highway.
In each of these remarkable essays, Banks considers his life and the world. In Everglades National Park, a "perfect place to time-travel", he traces his own time line. "I keep going back, and with increasingly clarity I see more of the place and more of my past selves. And more of the past of the planet as well." Recalling his trips to the Caribbean in the title essay, "Voyager", Banks dissects his relationships with the four women who would become his wives. In the Himalayas he embarks on a different quest of self-discovery. "One climbs a mountain not to conquer it but to be lifted like this away from the earth up into the sky," he explains.
Pensive, frank, beautiful, and engaging, Voyager brings together the social, the personal, and the historical, opening a path into the heart and soul of this revered writer.

Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-31-16
Publisher: Hachette Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
From the writers of acclaimed blog Pen & Palate, a humorous coming-of-age (and mastering-the-art-of-home-cooking) memoir of friendship, told through stories, recipes, and beautiful illustrations.
Getting through life in your 20s isn't easy - especially if you're broke, awkward, and prone to starting small grease fires in your studio apartment. For best friends Lucy Madison and Tram Nguyen, cooking was an escape from the daily humiliation that is being a 20-something woman in a big city. Pen & Palate traces the course of Lucy and Tram's devoted friendship through miserable jobs and tiny apartments, first loves and ill-advised flings, successes and setbacks - always with a shared love of food at the center of the narrative. A modern take on Laurie Colwin's classic Home Cooking, this coming-of-age memoir for the Girls set weaves together comical (mis)adventures and recipes meant to be shared with a best friend and a bottle of wine.

In Gratitude by Jenny Diski | Audiobook31 May 201607:54:00

Title: In Gratitude
Author: Jenny Diski
Narrator: Kim Hicks
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 54 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-31-16
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
The future flashed before my eyes in all its preordained banality. Embarrassment, at first, to the exclusion of all other feelings. But embarrassment curled at the edges with a weariness. I got a joke in. 'So - we'd better get cooking the meth,' I said to the poet.
In August 2014 Jenny Diski was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer and given 'two or three years' to live. She didn't know how to react. All responses felt scripted, laden with cliché. Being a writer, she decided to write about it (grappling with the unoriginality even of this) and to tell a story she had not yet told: that of being taken in, aged 15, by the author Doris Lessing and the subsequent 50 years of their complex relationship.
In September 2014 Jenny Diski began writing in the London Review of Books, describing her experience of living with terminal cancer, examining her life and history with Doris Lessing: the fairy-tale rescue from 'the bin' as a teenager, the difficulties of being absorbed into an unfamiliar family and the influence this had on her.
Swooping from one memory to the next - alighting on the hysterical battlefield of her parental home, her expulsion from school, stacking shelves in Banbury and the drug-taking 20-something in and out of psychiatric hospitals - Diski paints a portrait of two extraordinary writers: Lessing and herself.
From one of our most original voices comes a book like no other: a cerebral, witty, dazzlingly candid masterpiece about an uneasy relationship; about memory and writing, ingratitude and anger; about living with illness and facing death.
From the acclaimed author of Skating to Antarctica comes a breathtakingly honest and original memoir about living with terminal cancer and her relationship with Doris Lessing, the Nobel Prize-winning author who adopted her as a teenager.

How to Be a Beta Male by Robert Crampton | Audiobook07 Nov 201711:39:00

Title: How to Be a Beta Male
Author: Robert Crampton
Narrator: Michael Fenton Stevens
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-07-17
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
From rom coms to wrestling and fatherhood to fist fights, Robert Crampton's How to Be a Beta Male is a brilliantly funny and sometimes moving insight into being a modern-day bloke.
Robert Crampton has been writing his Beta Male column for The Times since 2001. A much-loved weekly insight into modern masculinity - whatever that might mean - Beta Male strives to unlock the secrets of contemporary relationships in all their frequent glory, occasional frustration and ongoing complexity. While by his own admission totally failing in this task, Crampton is at any rate amusing as he goes about his business, as his legions of loyal fans would attest.
How to Be a Beta Male is a carefully curated selection, bursting with observational nuggets on the minutiae of daily domestics and disasters in the Crampton household and offering the very best of a 16-year-long account of what it is to be a beta male married to an alpha female.
From his attempts at DIY to disciplining their children to trying once in a while to put his foot down to getting involved in a punch-up in the street in her defence, Robert continues to fail to impress his wife but always delights his fans.
It's a very smart, extremely funny and yet surprisingly sensitive exploration of the trials, tribulations - and, ultimately, triumphs - of not being young, free and single.

Summary:
On a clear May afternoon at the end of his junior year at Harvard, Howard Axelrod played a pick-up game of basketball. In a skirmish for a loose ball, a boy's finger hooked behind Axelrod's eyeball and left him permanently blinded in his right eye. A week later, he returned to the same dorm room, but to a different world. A world where nothing looked solid, where the distance between how people saw him and how he saw had widened into a gulf.
Desperate for a sense of orientation he could trust, he retreated to a jerry-rigged house in the Vermont woods, where he lived without a computer or television, and largely without human contact, for two years. He needed to find, away from society's pressures and rush, a sense of meaning that couldn't be changed in an instant.

Summary of Lab Girl by Hope Jahren | Includes Analysis
Preview:
In her memoir Lab Girl, Hope Jahren describes the life she's lived and the knowledge she's learned as a scientist trying to find her way in the world. Focusing mostly on a period of professional development that stretches from 1997 to 2008, the bulk of the narrative follows Jahren from her first appointment as a professor in Atlanta to her current job at the University of Hawaii. Navigating personal and professional challenges including bipolar disorder, meager budgets, and sexist work environments, Jahren and her eccentric lab manager, Bill, learn a lot about themselves, each other, and the mysterious lives of plants.
Growing up in Minnesota, Hope feels starved for human connection. Her parents and her three older brothers are quiet, distant, and seemingly emotionless. The only sure love in her life is the feeling she experiences in her father's laboratory, a place where she feels happy and curious.

Release date: 05-30-16
Publisher: K9 Pet Trackers, LLC
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Pet Tracker is the remarkable story of Kat Albrecht, the nation's first police detective-turned-pet detective. Her pioneering experiences are astonishing and revealing, and the time-tested lost pet recovery methods that could one day help you, too.
Disillusioned by a police career where her bloodhound-tracking techniques and brilliant search dogs rarely got a chance to shine, Kat started training her retired Weimaraner, Rachel, to search for lost pets - with unbelievable results. To the amazement of her colleagues, Kat decided to make her unconventional use of search dogs a full-time career, in spite of being mocked and told she was "having a pipe dream" if she thought she could make a living as a pet detective.
Using investigative CSI techniques such as probability theory, behavioral profiling, forensic testing, and searches with scent-detection dogs, Kat Albrecht (and the other pet detectives she's trained) has helped thousands of pet owners locate their lost dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, ferrets, and other domestic pets. Along the way, Kat faced one-of-a-kind challenges and unexpected roadblocks (how do you convince a forensics lab to conduct a DNA test on a cat's whisker?), but these challenges have always been balanced by the unique joys of reuniting missing pets with their owners. Kat's unlikely career path and her unconventional spiritual journey to find her "life purpose" ultimately transformed her from a dissatisfied cop into a woman who found her true calling.
Fans of Virginia Lanier's Death in Bloodhound Red series will be intrigued by Kat's bloodhound tracking stories while fans of memoirs like Marley and Me and Merle's Door will find heart and soul in Rachel's inspirational story.

Summary:
This book I write in humble recognition that we all have a story to tell and that there is always someone who will benefit from the telling of it. In this book, you become me, walk as me, participating fully in this journey.
If I were telling this around a fire, I would ask you to close your eyes, use your imagination, and let your ethereal body become one with mine while I take you on this journey. Sometimes I will guide you swiftly through a space of time, and other times I will stop to let you see, feel, and hear everything, making an hour seem like a lifetime, letting you truly understand that every second is precious and full of life.
The path to my becoming a natural healer and herbalist will lead you to participate in many adventures. You'll tour throughout Europe, become a singer, walk the Peruvian Inca trail, visit the Mexican pyramids, and study in the rainforest of Belize, the Southwest of America, and the mountains of Spain.
You will search for the healing plant of the future in the Amazonian jungle, start charities in Africa and India that encourage the indigenous people to use their natural medicines, and discover your ability to see others souls. You will first apprentice, then run sweat lodges and lead vision quests. You will heal and be healed by many along the path, and will one day be known as a modern medicine woman.
I write this tale of my life as a true story, full of the spirit that makes even the ordinary experiences extraordinary, for that is how I see life. In this book I ask you to see through my eyes
I start each chapter with an inward journey, from either going into nature or meditating to seek the words that I am given. I share songs; most are my own words and melodies, though I am grateful for those who have inspired and shared with me.
I ask only that you keep an open mind and a sense of humor. And I now offer you an invitation...Come Walk with Me.

Éditeur: Sixtrid
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Résumé:
Le 4 novembre 1911, un journal à grand tirage annonce une nouvelle extravagante : Marie Curie a un amant. La presse et l'opinion s'enflamment. Procès, duels, publication de lettres volées, l'ouragan médiatique est énorme. Marie manque d'y laisser la vie. C'est vrai, elle a une liaison. Veuve depuis cinq ans de Pierre Curie - le chercheur avec qui elle avait découvert le radium et reçu son premier prix Nobel -, elle s'est éprise d'un homme marié, Paul Langevin, ami d'Einstein, et lui aussi savant d'exception.

Mais surtout elle dérange. Icône de la science mondiale, elle s'apprête à recevoir un second Nobel. Veuve, génie et amoureuse, c'en est trop. Comme le capitaine Dreyfus vingt ans plus tôt, on l'abrutit de calomnies. On va jusqu'à lapider sa maison. Au plus fort de la tourmente, elle reste fidèle à ses deux passions : Paul, l'amant, et Pierre, son mari tragiquement disparu. Quel secret les unissait ?

Pour le comprendre, Irène Frain a interrogé des archives négligées, des photos méconnues, des lieux inexplorés. Et ressuscité, par-delà le thriller médiatique d'une modernité souvent glaçante, une femme-courage prête à tout risquer pour ceux qu'elle aime.

Summary:
This is a picture of my life: Not flowers and rainbows, but mine nevertheless. Drugs and partying became a cool alternative to the disappointments of life. My demons became my friends and confidants. But I quickly learned that I was sadly mistaken. Here I was, a pretty, bright, teenage girl battling rage, injustice, and the personal ordeals of cancer and rape. But when the demons took over, it became a story of survival. Battling to overcome the addictions of alcohol, heroin, and men had turned me into a junkie. Trading my family and friends for an imprisonment to drugs and loneliness, I sank deeper into my addiction. I couldn't stop making bad decisions. My life no longer had meaning. It was time to end it all or take one more wild shot at hope. This is my story.

Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
In July 2012, aged 30, Juliet Jacques underwent sex reassignment surgery and felt for the first time that her body matched the person she felt she had been since childhood.
Through university and then in a series of dead end clerical jobs, Jacques felt out of place with her surroundings and with who she really was. Living in Brighton, trying to launch a career as a writer, she navigates the hostilities and misunderstandings of growing up in a time when the mainstream media - and even feminism - fail to acknowledge transgender identity. Yet through films, music, politics and football, she begins to find herself and starts the process of transition - and life beyond.
Throughout her memoir, Jacques interweaves the narrative with powerful explorations of many of the major debates surrounding trans: the uses of life writing, the relationship with feminism, and the before and after images that illustrated so many articles and documentaries.
Brilliantly written, revealing and honest, Trans also includes an epilogue with award-winning author Sheila Heti, in which Jacques and Heti discuss the issues facing transgender people.

Summary:
Recall the moment when you experienced the most adverse & challenging period in your life, whether it was:
Now, think about that triumphant feeling you experienced when you overcame that once "unbearable" mountain, that is the feeling of a warrior and a champion!
Yes, you are a warrior! We weren't all raised to believe this concept, society conditions us that this term is esoteric and reserved for only the Greats, The Elites and The Gods, but that is not the case.
Imagine how life would look if you were to set yourself free from the restraints of self-limiting beliefs about past circumstances and began to accelerate beyond your confines? What can you do each day to active dormant strengths and recharge happiness? Well, The Power of Adversity explores the depths of these questions and provides practical, yet straightforward guidance.
Herodotus, the Greek philosopher once said, "Adversity has the effect of drawing out strength and qualities of a man that would have lain dormant in its absence."
One inevitable fact of life is that adversity will present itself unexpectedly, catastrophically and repeatedly throughout our existence.
Overcoming adversity is one of life's greatest skill-sets we could possibly develop. Cultivating this proper mental and spiritual fortitude is equivalent to building physical muscle. Commitment, Repetition and approach are key to obtaining the results you desire, through proven resources like this audiobook.
Whether this is your first rodeo of inner exploratory, or you've completely committed your life to the journey inward, this book will ultimately shift your paradigm in the way you perceive and interact with adversity.
The Power of Adversity is the self-help audiobook for those who desperately want to overcome past challenges, reach total self-confidence, and improve the overall quality of their life.

Release date: 05-24-16
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
One Breath is a gripping and powerful exploration of the strange and fascinating sport of freediving, and of the tragic, untimely death of America's greatest freediver.
Competitive freediving - a sport built on diving as deep as possible on a single breath - tests the limits of human ability in the most hostile environment on earth. The unique and eclectic breed of individuals who freedive at the highest level regularly dive hundreds of feet below the ocean's surface, reaching such depths that their organs compress, light disappears, and one mistake could kill them.
Even among freedivers, few have ever gone as deep as Nicholas Mevoli. A handsome young American with an unmatched talent for the sport, Nick was among freediving's brightest stars. He was also an extraordinary individual, one who rebelled against the vapid and commoditized society around him by relentlessly questing for something more meaningful and authentic, whatever the risks. So when Nick Mevoli arrived at Vertical Blue in 2013, the world's premier freediving competition, he was widely expected to challenge records and continue his meteoric rise to stardom. Instead, before the end of that fateful competition Nick Mevoli had died, a victim of the sport that had made him a star, and the very future of free diving was called into question.
With unparalleled access and masterfully crafted prose, One Breath tells his unforgettable story, and of the sport which shaped and ultimately destroyed him.

Summary:
Born in the 1960s, I grew up a lean stallion Mustang muscle car yet to get his spark plugs checked. In 1974, I pulled a Cinderella and, instead of morphing into a team of mice and a pumpkin, I became a surface-scratched, dented, Plymouth Duster, with timing out of sync and spark plugs misfiring as I had a figurative head-on collision with epilepsy.
My Duster life car shifted into neutral through the 1980s and 1990s. In 2002, I became an unpublished writer and began writing twisted, dark fiction rooted in the dark experiences on my life journey, set in fictitious Hickerson County, Wisconsin on the Icy Lady - Lake Superior, the Iron Range. I began an epilepsy memoir in 2005 and self-published in 2014 and became a paid author. I am in the process of completing a paranormal romance set on the Iron Range.

Narrator: Ann Marie Lee

Length: 10 hrs and 30 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-24-16
Publisher: HarperAudio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
In the vein of Alice Sebold's Lucky comes a compelling, real-life crime mystery and gripping memoir of the cold case prosecution of a serial rapist, told by one of his victims.
On the morning of September 12, 2013, a fugitive task force broke down the door of Arthur Fryar's apartment in Brooklyn. His DNA, entered in the FBI's criminal database after a drug conviction, had been matched to evidence from a rape in Pennsylvania years earlier. Over the next year, Fryar and his lawyer fought his extradition and prosecution for the rape - and another like it - which had occurred in 1992. The names of the victims, one from January, the other from November, were suppressed; the prosecution and the media referred to them as Jane Doe.
Now Jane Doe January tells her story.
Emily Winslow was a young drama student at Carnegie Mellon University's elite conservatory in Pittsburgh when a man brutally attacked and raped her in January 1992. While the police's search for her rapist proved futile, Emily reclaimed her life. Over the course of the next two decades, she fell in love, married, had two children, and began writing mystery novels set in her new hometown of Cambridge, England. Then, in fall 2013, she received shocking news: The police had found her rapist.
This is her intimate memoir - the story of a woman's traumatic past catching up with her in a country far from home, surrounded by people who have no idea what she's endured. Caught between past and present and between two very different cultures, the inquisitive and restless crime novelist searches for clarity. Beginning her own investigation, she delves into Fryar's family and past, reconnects with the detectives of her case, and works with prosecutors in the months leading to trial.
As she recounts her long-term quest for closure, Winslow offers a heartbreakingly honest look at a vicious crime - and offers invaluable insights into the mind and heart of a victim.

Summary:
The maverick (and very funny) governor of Colorado tells his story, from early loss to college on the 10-year plan, to remarkable business and later political success.
In just over a decade, John Hickenlooper has gone from a craft-brew entrepreneur to mayor of Denver to governor of Colorado, hailed by many political analysts, The New York Times, and Fox News alike as a solid contender to be the next vice president. It is an unlikely tale of success, quintessentially American yet utterly exceptional. In The Opposite of Woe, Hickenlooper tells his own story of determination and daring, from business to politics, in his singularly sharp and often hilarious voice.
After taking 10 years to graduate from Wesleyan University, Hickenlooper found himself laid off from his first job in the oil industry. Lacking a day job, he rented a space in one of Denver's sketchiest neighborhoods and opened a brew pub. Honest, likable, and practical, Hickenlooper turned out to be a natural at running a restaurant; the pub was a huge success and did a great deal to revitalize a struggling neighborhood. In 15 years he blossomed from a small-business owner into a millionaire at the helm of a string of pubs in Denver. He was such an influential member of the community that he acted on the encouragement of many and ran for mayor, essentially on a lark.
And then he won. So began an eight-year run as one of the most creative and successful mayors in the United States. Hickenlooper doubled down on his political career by running for Colorado governor in 2010, which he also won and then won again. He has tackled a host of pressing and volatile issues in a true battleground state: immigration, fracking, capital punishment, guns, the Affordable Care Act, same-sex marriage, legalized marijuana. Time and again his administration has persuaded ideologically opposed constituencies to agree on a middle path and move forward - all while dealing with a tragic series of wildfires, "biblical" floods, shootings, and the assassination of a cabinet member.
On display throughout is the rare candidness that has made him not only wildly popular every step of the way but remarkably successful at getting things done. Cowritten with journalist and cabinet member Maximillian Potter, The Opposite of Woe is a fresh - and refreshing - angle on our political landscape from one of its brightest rising stars.

Summary:
This is a summary of Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster
By writing Into Thin Air, Krakauer may have hoped to exorcise some of his own demons and lay to rest some of the painful questions that still surround the event. He takes great pains to provide a balanced picture of the people and events he witnessed and gives due credit to the tireless and dedicated Sherpas. He also avoids blasting easy targets such as Sandy Pittman, the wealthy socialite who brought an espresso maker along on the expedition. Krakauer's highly personal inquiry into the catastrophe provides a great deal of insight into what went wrong. But for Krakauer himself, further interviews and investigations only lead him to the conclusion that his perceived failures were directly responsible for a fellow climber's death.
Clearly, Krakauer remains haunted by the disaster, and although he relates a number of incidents in which he acted selflessly and even heroically, he seems unable to view those instances objectively. In the end, despite his evenhanded and even generous assessment of others' actions, he reserves a full measure of vitriol for himself. When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mt. Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn't slept in 57 hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin the perilous descent from 29,028 feet (roughly the cruising altitude of an Airbus jetliner), 20 other climbers were still pushing doggedly to the top, unaware that the sky had begun to roil with clouds.
Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by the acclaimed outside journalist and author of the best-selling Into the Wild. Taking the listener step by step from Katmandu to the mountain's deadly pinnacle, Krakauer has his listeners shaking on the edge of their seat.

While in Boston he becomes the first Latino Boston banking executive and community leader, and eventually he takes much desired position as a college professor of information systems and holds six college degrees - one in Freudian psychoanalysis. He is also a bilingual newspaper columnist and writer and publisher of 10 Kindle books - all while raising a family of two children and five grandchildren.

Summary:
A profoundly moving and inspiring memoir from Australia's domestic violence crusader, Rosie Batty.
Rosie Batty knows pain no woman should have to suffer. Her son was killed by his father in a violent incident in February 2014, a horrendous event that shocked not only the nation but the world. Greg Anderson murdered his 11-year-old son, Luke, and was then shot by police at the Tyabb cricket oval. Rosie had suffered years of family violence and had had intervention and custody orders in place in an effort to protect herself and her son. She believes the killing was Greg's final act of control over her.
Since the events of last February, Rosie has become an outspoken crusader against domestic violence, winning hearts and minds all over Australia with her compassion, courage, grace and forgiveness.
In the wake of the tragedy, Rosie's advocacy work has forced an unprecedented national focus on family violence, with the Victorian Labor government establishing Australia's first royal commission into family violence and committing a further $30 million over four years to protect women and children at high risk of family violence. Then Victorian police commissioner Ken Lay called it 'the Rosie Batty factor'. In January 2015, Rosie was named Australian of the Year 2015.
Inspiring, heartfelt and profoundly moving, this is Rosie's story.

Résumé:
"Soudain, j'entends le vrombissement strident des moteurs de l'appareil qui s'approche à toute allure. À peine ai-je le temps de me tourner vers la fenêtre qu'un impact d'une violence inouïe ébranle le bâtiment. Une seconde, deux secondes, l'onde de choc descend des étages supérieurs, la tour oscille très violemment des tableaux se renversent, une statuette en marbre vacille, mon fauteuil avance et recule sur ses roulettes. Trois secondes, derrière les fenêtres un déluge sans fin de morceaux d'avion, de poutrelles d'aluminium, de verre, de débris, de kérosène, de feu, des corps peut-être, dégringolent devant nos yeux médusés..."

Bruno Dellinger avait sa société au 47e étage de la tour numéro 1 du World Tracte Center. Le 11 septembre 2001, comme celle de milliers d'Américains, sa vie a basculé dans l'horreur. Ce ne sont pas simplement ses bureaux qui ont disparu dans cette effroyable catastrophe, ce sont les fondements mêmes de sa vie qui ont failli être irrémédiablement détruits : sa joie de vivre, son respect d'autrui, son attachement à un système social et politique, sa fierté d'appartenir à l'espèce humaine... Pour surmonter cette épreuve, il lui a fallu puiser au plus profond de lui-même. Minute par minute, il déploie son talent d'écrivain et, avec un réalisme saisissant, raconte ici les événements qui ont bouleversé sa vie et changé la face du monde.

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
'Women are told, from birth, that it's our job to be small: physically small, small in our presence, and small in our impact on the world. We're supposed to spend our lives passive, quiet and hungry. I want to obliterate that expectation....'
Guardian columnist Lindy West wasn't always loud. It's difficult to believe she was once a nerdy, overweight teen who wanted nothing more than to be invisible. Fortunately for women everywhere, along the road she found her voice - and how she found it!
That cripplingly shy girl who refused to make a sound somehow grew up to be one of the loudest, shrillest, most fearless feminazis on the Internet, making a living standing up for what's right instead of what's cool.
In Shrill, Lindy recounts how she went from being the butt of people's jokes to telling her own brand of jokes - ones that carry with them serious messages and aren't at someone else's expense. She reveals the obstacles and stereotyping she's had to overcome to make herself heard in a society that doesn't think women (especially fat women and feminists) are or can be funny.
She also tackles some of the most burning issues of popular culture today, taking a frank and provocative look at racism, oppression, fat shaming, Twitter trolling and even rape culture, unpicking the bullshit and calling out unpalatable truths with conviction, intelligence and a large dose of her trademark black humour.
'Lindy West is an essential (and hilarious) voice for women. Her talent and bravery have made the Internet a place I actually want to be.' (Lena Dunham)

Summary:
Casey's Unit is, as ever, full of troubled, disaffected pupils, and new arrival Leo is something of a conundrum.
Thirteen-year-old Leo isn't a bad lad - in fact he's generally polite and helpful, but he's in danger of permanent exclusion for repeatedly absconding and unauthorised absences. Despite letters being sent home regularly, his mother never turns up for any appointments, and when the school calls home she always seems to have an excuse.
Though Casey has her hands full, she offers to intervene for a while, to try to get Leo engaged in learning again and to remain in school. The head's skeptical, though, and warns her that this is Leo's very last chance. But Casey's determined, because there's something about Leo that makes her want to fight in his corner and get to the bottom of whatever it is that compels this enigmatic boy to keep running away.
With Leo so resolutely tight-lipped and secretive, Casey knows that if she's going to keep this child in education, she's going to have to get to the bottom of it herself....

Zusammenfassung:
Martin Pistorius war gerade zwölf geworden, als eine rätselhafte Erkrankung ihn seines bisherigen Lebens beraubte. Elf Jahre blieb er vollständig gelähmt, und seine Umwelt ging davon aus, dass er praktisch hirntot war. Er konnte sich in keiner Weise verständlich machen - und war doch innerlich hellwach.

Niemand merkte, dass sein Gehirn sich nach einigen Monaten wieder vollständig erholt hatte. Von nun an musste er hilflos ertragen, dass er wie ein Baby behandelt wurde. Doch sein Geist löste sich von dieser Existenz, begab sich auf abenteuerliche Reisen, sah, hörte und spürte, wie die Welt um ihn herum sich wandelte, und wie die Menschen, die er liebte, sich veränderten, entwickelten, verliebten, zerstritten und wieder versöhnten.

Elf Jahre lang blieb er Gefangener seines gelähmten Körpers, bis eine Therapeutin erstmals eine Reaktion wahrnahm und ihn endlich befreite. Martin entpuppte sich als wahres Computergenie, konnte schnell mittels neuer Programme kommunizieren und endlich ausdrücken, dass er als stiller Beobachter alles mitbekommen hatte, was um ihn herum geschah.

Sein Buch ist der faszinierende Einblick in die dunkle Welt der Wachkoma-Patienten, der in einem erstorbenen Körper Gefangenen, es gewährt Einblick in eine Welt der scheinbaren Finsternis und ist tief berührend in seiner Weisheit, seinem Humor und seiner Dankbarkeit dem Leben gegenüber.

Summary:
It takes a tough mind-set to be a successful sniper, to be able to dig in for days on your own as you wait for your target, to stay calm on a battlefield when you yourself have become the target the enemy most wants to take out. Craig Harrison has what it takes, and in November 2009 in Afghanistan, under intense pressure, he saved the lives of his comrades with the longest confirmed sniper kill - 2,475 metres, the length of 25 football pitches.
In this unflinching autobiography, Craig catapults us into the heat of the action as he describes his active service in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan and gives heart-stopping accounts of his sniper ops as he fought for his life on the rooftops of Basra and the barren hills of Helmand province. Craig was blown up by an IED in Afghanistan and left battling severe PTSD. After his identity was revealed in the press, he also had to cope with al-Qaeda threats against him and his family. For Craig, the price of heroism has been devastatingly high.

Narrator: Angela Dawe
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-17-16
Publisher: Recorded Books
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
One woman's quest to learn Mandarin in Beijing, Arabic in Beirut, and Spanish in Mexico, with her young family along for the ride.
Imagine negotiating for a replacement carburetor in rural Mexico with words you're secretly pulling from a pocket dictionary. Imagine your two-year-old asking for more niunai at dinner - a Mandarin word for milk that even you don't know yet. Imagine finding out that you're unexpectedly pregnant while living in war-torn Beirut. With vivid and evocative language, Christine Gilbert takes us along with her into foreign lands, showing us what it's like to make a life in an unfamiliar world - and in an unfamiliar tongue.
Gilbert was a young mother when she boldly uprooted her family to move around the world, studying Mandarin in China, Arabic in Lebanon, and Spanish in Mexico, with her toddler son and all-American husband along for the ride. Their story takes us from Beijing to Beirut, from Cyprus to Chiang Mai - and also explores recent breakthroughs in bilingual brain mapping and the controversial debates happening in linguistics right now.
Gilbert's adventures abroad prove just how much language influences culture (and vice versa), and lead her to results she never expected. Mother Tongue is a fascinating and uplifting story about taking big risks for bigger rewards and trying to find meaning and happiness through tireless pursuit - no matter what hurdles may arise. It's a treat for language enthusiasts and armchair travelers alike.

Detour from Normal by Ken Dickson | Audiobook06 Nov 201708:36:00

Title: Detour from Normal
Author: Ken Dickson
Narrator: Michael Rubino
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 36 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-06-17
Publisher: Ken Dickson
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Despite access to the greatest healthcare in the world, US citizens are not immune to medical horror stories. Such was the experience of Ken Dickson, a beloved husband and father and respected engineer with no history of mental illness. What should have been an ordinary surgical procedure changed that, propelling him into a high security psychiatric ward where psychiatrists branded him a danger to himself and others.
This gut-wrenching story is leaving readers shocked at the author's treatment, and appalled by how quickly a medical situation fell through the cracks, sending the patient spiraling uncontrollably into medically-induced madness.
This book is not, however, only about Ken. It is the story of two people deeply in love but torn apart by fate, an eye-opening introduction to the stigma of mental illness, and a personal run-in with the poor broken souls trapped in psychiatric care. It is a rich and varied exploration of our humanity written from the unique perspective of someone suffering from mental illness. Detour from Normal is a book that you cannot afford to ignore, with a message that you will not want to dismiss: tomorrow, next year, or five years from now, this could happen to you.

Narrator: Todd McLaren
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-17-16
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
For a young American boy in the 1950s, Fontainebleau was a sight both strange and majestic, home to a continual series of adventures: a different language to learn, weekend visits to nearby Paris, family road trips to Spain and Italy. Then there was the château itself: a sprawling palace once the residence of kings, its grounds the perfect place to play hide-and-seek. The curiosities of the small town left such an impression on him that 30 years later, Thad Carhart returned to France with his wife to raise their two children.
Touring Fontainebleau again as an adult, he began to appreciate its influence on French style, taste, art, and architecture. Each trip to Fontainebleau introduces him to entirely new aspects of the château's history, enriching his memories and leading him to Patrick Ponsot, who becomes Carhart's guide to the hidden Fontainebleau.
What emerges is an intimate chronicle of a time and place few have experienced. Finding Fontainebleau is for those captivated by the French way of life, for armchair travelers, and for anyone who has ever fallen in love with a place they want to visit over and over again.

Have you ever wanted to go to prison? Of course not. What normal person would? But haven't you wondered what it would be like? To be locked up? To do hard time? What is it really like? Is it as bad as the movies? It can't be, can it? Spoiler alert: It is!
How did I cope with it? By making jokes out of the situation, which was easier said than done some days. I wanted to write something unique, something different from anything you have ever seen before. Anyone can write seriously about prison - it is a serious place. But who can make jokes out of it? That's right, me! Enjoy this humorous, depressing roller coaster of an experience in one of the most notorious prisons in US history: San Quentin State Penitentiary.
