Though he was only eight years old when he left home to work on a white family's farm, he took with him his parents' positive outlook - based on appreciating what he had, the wise observance of others, and common sense.

Summary:
When SSG John Kriesel lost his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion, no one expected him to survive. He died three times on the operating table. Miracles, a lot of miracles, starting with a few grunts who refused to let him die in Iraq, ripped the young warrior from the grip of death and sent him on to four hospitals, thirty-five surgeries, and months of recovery and rehabilitation. Medical miracles put his body back together, but it was an incredible confluence of angels at every step along the way that breathed life into his shattered body.
This is not just another war story. This is the story of an ordinary young man who overcame extraordinary challenges with a lot of help from others, including many strangers and he emerged stronger and more in love with his country, his wife, his children, and ultimately, his own life.

Titel: Meine Liebste... Liebesbriefe berühmter Männer
Autor: Otto von Bismarck, Clemens Brentano, Franz Kafka
Erzähler: Johannes Steck
Format: Abridged
Spieldauer: 59 mins
Sprache: Deutsch
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 02-07-07
Herausgeber: Audiobuch Verlag OHG
Kategorien: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Zusammenfassung:
"Wer das Interesse einer Frau zu wecken beabsichtigt, versuche sich in geistreicher Konversation; wer aber ihr Herz entflammen will, schreibe einen Liebesbrief", riet schon der Chevalier de Seingalt, besser bekannt als Giacomo Casanova, in seinen Memoiren - ohne Zweifel ein Mann, der es wissen musste.
Viele Männer haben seither den Ratschlag des großen Liebhabers befolgt und ihren Angebeteten, Geliebten, Alleinzigen und wie sie alle hießen, Briefe geschrieben, die nur ein einziges Thema haben: die Liebe.
Eine wunderschöne Sammlung von Liebesbriefen berühmter Männer hat der AUDIOBUCH Verlag Freiburg vorgelegt, eindringlich werden sie von Johannes Steck mit Leben erfüllt. Wir schwelgen im Glück mit Klopstock, ringen verzweifelt mit Schumann um die Geliebte, sprühen mit Tucholsky vor Witz und Spontaneität und zweifeln mit Kafka an der Möglichkeit eines gemeinsamen Glücks. Die Briefe Rilkes, Pestalozzis, Kleists, Fontanes, Brentanos, Mörikes, Ringelnatz` und vieler anderer mehr breiten nicht nur das ganze Universum menschlicher Gefühle vor uns aus, sondern sind zugleich eine packende und berührende Gesellschaftsgeschichte im Spiegel einer ganz besonderen literarischen Form. Ein Hörbuch als Herzform in einem Briefumschlag verpackt: Dieses Geschenkhörbuch wird das auch coolste Männerherz erweichen.

Title: Love Times Three
Author: Joe Darger, Alina Darger, Vicki Darger, Valerie Darger
Narrator: James Lurie, Eliza Foss, Kathleen McInerney, Karla Hendrick
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 15 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-13-11
Publisher: HarperAudio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
He runs his own business and coaches Little League. She drives a minivan, and she'd be lost without her trusty BlackBerry. They go on date nights. Their kids attend public schools, play sports, and take music lessons. They live in a roomy house in the 'burbs. They're about as mainstream as families come. They're also polygamists.
For decades, polygamous families have been forced to hide their lifestyle. Men risk prosecution and economic blacklisting, and women face social isolation and faulty assumptions about what it means to live as a sister wife. But Love Times Three, the first-ever memoir of a polygamous family, is a riveting inside look at a world most of us can hardly imagine, revealing the extraordinary workings of the Dargers' day-to-day life.
Independent Fundamentalist Mormons, the Dargers grew up in polygamous families, and by the time they were in high school, they knew they wanted to live the Principle themselves. But in a highly unusual situation, even for their culture, both Alina and Vicki expressed interest in Joe at the same time. They ultimately courted him together and married him on the same day. Valerie, Vicki's twin sister, joined the marriage 10 years later.
The Dargers move the conversation away from child brides, Warren Jeffs, and the FLDS to more mainstream polygamists who willingly enter into plural relationships as adults. Rather than living in isolated communities, Independent Fundamentalist Mormons are similar to an average American family - except for their family structure.
In this intimate, inside story, the Dargers explain why they chose this path despite the pressures of keeping their relationships secret and the jealousy and personal challenges that naturally ensue, why they believe polygamy should be an accepted lifestyle, and, ultimately, why they hope that by revealing their way of life in public, laws that criminalize their lifestyle might change.
Written in the voices of the four parents, Love Times Three is the story of one man, his three wives, and their 24 children as they live out their faith in a world of prejudice, misconception, and fear, including chapters on the sister wife dynamic, one from Joe on how he juggles his three distinct romantic relationships, and a chapter from three of their children, entitled "My Three Moms".
Despite the risk of legal action, the Dargers know that it's time to counteract Hollywood's sensational interpretation and correct the general public's misunderstanding of polygamy with the truth. Now, for the first time, Joe, Alina, Vicki, and Valerie Darger lift the veil on their so-called taboo way of life.

Title: The House at Salvation Creek
Author: Susan Duncan
Narrator: Susan Duncan
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 24 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-19-16
Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
The wonderful second memoir from Susan Duncan, which picks up where Salvation Creek ended. The House at Salvation Creek picks up after Bob and Susan marry and, two years later, move from her Tin Shed into his 'pale yellow house on the high, rough hill', Tarrangaua, built for the iconic Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar.
Set against the backdrop of the small, close-knit Pittwater community with its colourful characters and quirky history, The House at Salvation Creek is about what happens when you open the door to life, adventure and love. But it's also about mothers and daughters, as Susan confronts her mother's new frailty and her own role in what has always been a difficult relationship.
Where Salvation Creek was about mortality - living life in the face of death - The House at Salvation Creek is about stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing challenges at any age. In turn funny and moving, Susan Duncan's beautifully written sequel reminds us to honour what matters in life and to disregard what really doesn't.

Narrateur: Emmanuel Dekoninck
Format: Unabridged
Durée: 6 hrs and 43 mins
Langue: Français
Date de publication: 03-18-15
Éditeur: Audiolib
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Résumé:
Alors voilà le récit au quotidien d'un apprenti médecin qui joue des claquettes entre les différents services des Urgences avec ses co-internes. Là, pendant sept jours, il décrit à une patiente en fin de vie (dans la chambre 7) ce qui se passe sous les blouses et dans les couloirs. Pour la garder en vie le temps que son fils, bloqué dans un aéroport, puisse la rejoindre.

Se nourrissant de situations bien réelles, vécues par lui ou par ses collègues, chirurgiens ou aides-soignants, Baptiste Beaulieu passe l'hôpital au scanner. Il peint avec humour les chefs autoritaires, les infirmières au grand cœur, les internes gaffeurs, les consultations qui s'enchaînent, les incroyables rencontres avec les patients... Pour réconcilier soignants et soignés.
Par ses histoires d'une grande sensibilité, à la fois touchantes et drôles, il restitue tout le petit théâtre de la comédie humaine. Un bloc d'humanité.

Title: Little Boy Blue
Author: Kim Kavin
Narrator: Therese Plummer, Jonathan Davis
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-04-12
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
When journalist Kim Kavin decided that she wanted a puppy, she did what millions of people do every year: clicked on an online photo and submitted an application. She had no idea that the adorable brindle - advertised as healthy and near her home in New Jersey - was actually a last-minute rescue from a gas-chamber shelter in North Carolina.
Blue had arrived in the Northeast with at least a dozen other dogs in an RV that is just one among countless transports whose sponsors are dedicating their efforts to saving dogs by any means possible. Blue was happy and friendly, but he seemed to have endured some unusual, albeit unknown, ordeal. The dog's manner prompted Kavin to trace his history all the way back to a long row of cages where Blue had been tagged to be put down in just three more days.
Little Boy Blue is the true story of one sweet puppy's journey of survival. It's also a shocking exposé that describes a brutal ongoing reality inside some of this country's taxpayer-funded shelters. But Little Boy Blue also tells an inspiring story of the grass-roots rescue network that has exploded across the nation in recent years. Listeners will come to know and love a very special dog who now brings smiles to the faces of everyone he meets.
From a single click of Kim Kavin's computer mouse, Blue's journey of a lifetime began. This is the story of Little Boy Blue, told with candor and a great deal of love.

Title: Jawbreaker
Author: Gary Berntsen, Ralph Pezzullo
Narrator: Gary Berntsen
Format: Abridged
Length: 5 hrs and 50 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-21-05
Publisher: Random House Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
With his unique mix of clandestine knowledge and paramilitary training, Berntsen represents the new face of counterterrorism. Recognized within the agency for his aggressiveness, Berntsen, when dispatched to Afghanistan, made annihilating the enemy his job description.
As the CIA's key commander coordinating the fight against the Taliban forces around Kabul, and the drive toward Tora Bora, Berntsen not only led dozens of CIA and Special Operations Forces, he also raised 2,000 Afghan fighters to aid in the hunt for bin Laden.
In this first-person account of that incredible pursuit, which actually began years earlier in an East Africa bombing investigation, Berntsen describes being ferried by rickety helicopter over the towering peaks of Afghanistan, sitting by General Tommy Franks' side as heated negotiations were conducted with Northern Alliance generals, bargaining relentlessly with treacherous Afghan warlords and Taliban traitors, plotting to save hostages about to be used as pawns, calling in B-52 strikes on dug-in enemy units, and deploying a dizzying array of Special Forces teams in the pursuit of the world's most wanted terrorist. Most crucially, Berntsen tells of cornering bin Laden in the Tora Bora mountains, and what happened when Berntsen begged Washington to block the al-Qaeda leader's last avenue of escape.
As disturbingly eye-opening as it is adrenaline-charged, Jawbreaker races from CIA war rooms to diplomatic offices to mountaintop redoubts to paint a vivid portrait of a new kind of warfare, showing what can and should be done to deal a death blow to freedom's enemies.

Title: How Have I Cheated Death?
Author: Tim Wotton
Narrator: John Paul Nicholas
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 29 mins
Language: English
Release date: 02-19-15
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers Ltd.
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the UK's most common life-threatening diseases, affecting more than 10,000 people. Each week five babies are born with the condition; however, each week three young lives are also lost to it. Currently there's no cure.
Not all that long ago, the diagnosis of CF meant an early death. Tim Wotton is one such sufferer, who was told from an early age that he would not live beyond his seventeenth birthday, then his thirtieth, and now his fortieth and beyond. As told by one of the oldest survivors of this crippling disease, How Have I Cheated Death? is a diary of his thirty-ninth year: a countdown to the elusive 40.
A story of triumph over adversity, this compelling chronicle, the first book written by a CF sufferer at 40, demonstrates that what cannot be cured needs to be endured. It is also a record of everyday life for someone battling CF and recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes, from medical issues to social stigmas and the juggle of managing a normal family life.
Written with great honesty, clarity, and humor, this remarkable account is a testament to the daily dedication required to deal with a long-term illness and the strength of familial bonds, from a man who has done much for the global CF community with his ongoing candid blog, Postcards from Earth. Complimented by an enlightening foreword by British actress Jenny Agutter, this profound audiobook offers hope and inspiration that even at your lowest ebb, with the odds heavily stacked against you, there is usually a way to overcome.

Title: Birds Art Life
Author: Kyo Maclear
Narrator: Laurel Lefkow
Format: Unabridged
Length: 4 hrs and 50 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-03-17
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
A writer's search for inspiration, beauty, and solace leads her to birds in this intimate and exuberant meditation on creativity and life - a field guide to things small and significant.
When it comes to birds, Kyo Maclear isn't seeking the exotic. Rather she discovers joy in the seasonal birds that find their way into view in city parks and harbors, along eaves and on wires. In a world that values big and fast, Maclear looks to the small, the steady, the slow accumulations of knowledge, and the lulls that leave room for contemplation.
A distilled, crystal-like companion to H is for Hawk, Birds Art Life celebrates the particular madness of chasing after birds in the urban environment and explores what happens when the core lessons of birding are applied to other aspects of art and life. Moving with ease between the granular and the grand, peering into the inner landscape as much as the outer one, this is a deeply personal year-long inquiry into big themes: love, waiting, regrets, endings. If Birds Art Life was sprung from Maclear's sense of disconnection, her passions faltering under the strain of daily existence, this book is ultimately about the value of reconnection - and how the act of seeking engagement and beauty in small ways can lead us to discover our most satisfying and meaningful lives.

Title: No Wall Too High
Author: Xu Hongci, Erling Hoh
Narrator: David Shih
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 32 mins
Language: English
Release date: 01-17-17
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Mao Zedong's labor reform camps were notoriously brutal; modeled after the Soviet gulag, their inmates were subject to backbreaking labor, malnutrition, and vindictive wardens. They were thought to be impossible to escape - but one man did.
Xu Hongci, a young medical student, was a loyal member of the Communist Party until he fell victim to Mao Zedong's Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1957. After posting a criticism of the party, he spent the next 14 years in the labor camps. Despite horrific conditions and terrible odds, Hongci was determined to escape, failing three times before he succeeded in 1972.
Originally published in Hong Kong, Hongci's remarkable memoir recounts his life from childhood through his prison break. After discovering the book in a Hong Kong library, the journalist Erling Hoh tracked down the original manuscript and compiled this abridged translation of Hongci's memoir, which includes background on this turbulent period and an epilogue following Hongci up to his death in 2008. Almost nobody was able to escape from Mao's labor camps, but No Wall Too High tells the true story of someone who did.

Title: Enslaved by Ducks

Narrator: Stephen R. Thorne
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 14 mins
Language: English
Release date: 04-11-17
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
When Bob Tarte bought a house in rural Michigan, he was counting on a tranquil haven. Then Bob married Linda. She wanted a rabbit, which seemed innocuous enough until the bunny chewed through their electrical wiring. And that was just the beginning. Before long, Bob found himself constructing cages, buying feed, clearing duck waste, and spoon-feeding a menagerie of furry and feathery residents. His life of quiet serenity vanished, and he unwittingly became a servant to a relentlessly demanding family. "They dumbfounded him, controlled and teased him, took their share of his flesh, stole his heart" (Kirkus Reviews).
Whether commiserating with Bob over the fate of those who are slaves to their animals or regarding his story as a cautionary tale about the rigors of animal ownership, listeners on both sides of the fence have found Tarte's story of his chaotic squawking household irresistible - and irresistibly funny.

Narrator: Rhoda Janzen
Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins
Language: English
Release date: 08-28-13
Publisher: Hachette Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
At the end of her best-selling memoir Mennonite in a Little Black Dress, Rhoda Janzen had reconnected with her family roots, though her future felt uncertain. When this overeducated professor starts dating the most unlikely of men-a weight-liftin', church-goin', truck-drivin' rocker named Mitch-she begins a surprising journey to faith and love.
Nothing says, "Let's get to know each other!" like lady problems on an epic scale, but Mitch vows to stay by her side. Convinced that his bedrock character has something to do with his Pentecostal church, Rhoda suits up for a brave new world of sparkler pom-poms and hand-clappin' hallelujahs.
Written with her trademark "uproarious, bawdy sense of humor" (Minneapolis Star-Tribune), Mennonite Meets Mr. Right is witty and moving, perfect for anyone who has taken an unexpected detour only to find that new roads lead to rich destinations.

Title: Bitch Is the New Black
Author: Helena Andrews
Narrator: Karen Murray
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 53 mins
Language: English
Release date: 06-01-10
Publisher: HarperAudio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Meet Helena Andrews, sassy, single, smart, and, yes, a bitchbut Tina Fey said it best, bitch is the new black!
When Helena Andrews heard this declaration on Saturday Night Live, her first reaction was How daaare you? But after a commercial break and some thought, she decided to poke at the stereotype that says "successful" and "bitch" are synonyms. Unafraid and frank, she comes to realize that being a bitch is sometimes the best way to beexcept, of course, when it's not.
Bitch Is the New Black follows Andrewssexy, single, and a self-described smart-asson her trip from kidnapped daughter of a lesbian to Washington, D.C., political reporter who can't remember a single senator's name. Told in Andrews's singular voice, this addictive memoir explores the roller coaster of being educated and single while trying to become an "actual adult" and find love.
In these candid yet heartfelt essays, she chronicles that ride from beginning to end: a childhood spent on an all-white island, escaping via episodes of The Cosby Show; being set up with Obama's "body guy", Reggie Love, by Maureen Dowd; and the shocking suicide of a best friend. Through it all, Andrews and her gang of girlfriends urge each other to "keep it moving". But no one can stay strong all the timenot even the women we believe do so without trying.
As Andrews says, "Despite the fact that the most recognizable woman in the United States is black, popular culture still hasn't moved past the only adjective apparently meant to describe us "strong". She is also flawed, tired, naive, greedy, gutsy, frightened, and kind: secret sides that come out in honest detail here.

Title: My Detachment
Author: Tracy Kidder
Narrator: Tracy Kidder
Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 18 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-02-05
Publisher: Random House Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Kidder was an ROTC intelligence officer, just months out of college and expecting a stateside assignment, when his orders arrived for Vietnam. There, lovesick, anxious, and melancholic, he tried to assume command of his detachment, a ragtag band of eight more-or-less ungovernable men charged with reporting on enemy radio locations.
He eventually learned not only to lead them but to laugh and drink with them as they shared the boredom, pointlessness, and fear of war. Together, they sought a ghostly enemy, homing in on radio transmissions and funneling intelligence gathered by others. Kidder realized that he would spend his time in Vietnam listening in on battle but never actually experiencing it.
With remarkable clarity and with great detachment, Kidder looks back at himself from across three and a half decades, confessing how, as a young lieutenant, he sought to borrow from the tragedy around him and to imagine himself a romantic hero. Unrelentingly honest, rueful, and revealing, My Detachment gives us war without heroism, while preserving those rare moments of redeeming grace in the midst of lunacy and danger. The officers and men of My Detachment are not the sort of people who appear in war movies, they are the ones who appear only in war, and they are unforgettable.

Title: Double or Nothing
Author: Tom Breitling, Cal Fussman
Narrator: Patrick Lawlor
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins
Language: English
Release date: 03-19-08
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Call them the Odds Couple. Breitling is the kid who lives next door, if you grow up in Burnsville, Minnesota. He hadn't seen a hundred dollar bill or The Godfather until he went to college. Poster comes from a family of oddsmakers who reach for the Doritos on football Sundays and scream for the point spread. He was whistling Sinatra and booking games at his Las Vegas high school.
Their unlikely friendship began in college over an eight-dollar veal parmigiana sandwich that led to a partnership in a hotel-reservation business. Starting with a desk, a chair, a pillow, and a telephone, Tim and Tom grew a company that they sold during the dot.com boom for $105 million. This allowed Tim to pursue his childhood dream of owning a casino and bringing back the glory days of Vegas.
When Tim ups the odds and raises the limits to give gamblers the best game in town, a craps player nicknamed "Mr. Royalty", who's on one of the hottest winning streaks in history, heads for the Nugget. When he begins to take Tom and Tim for millions, the partnership is put to the test. But Tim refuses to back off on the odds or the high limits, telling his partner, "It's a ballsy proposition here. It's gonna be a roller coaster ride. But we don't have a public company to answer to. It's just you and me."
When Mr. Royalty rolls 22 consecutive passes and rakes in a mountain of chips, he takes Tim and Tom to the brink. They must figure out a way to hold up the House.
Just as they do, the roller coaster ride really gets rolling - and the ride becomes crazier than they'd ever imagined.

For fans of Anne Lamott, Abigail Thomas, and Ayelet Waldman, a postdivorce memoir, one woman's story of starting over at 60 - in youth-obsessed, beauty-obsessed Hollywood. After the death of her best friend, the loss of her life savings, and the collapse of her once-happy marriage, Meredith Maran - whom Anne Lamott calls "insightful, funny, and human" - leaves her San Francisco freelance writer's life for a 9-to-5 job in Los Angeles.

Title: Ghost Light
Author: Frank Rich
Narrator: Frank Rich
Format: Abridged
Length: 5 hrs and 13 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-06-09
Publisher: Phoenix Books
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
There is a theater superstitions that if the emptied house is ever left completely dark, a ghost will take up residence. To prevent this, a single "ghost light" is left burning at center stage after the audience and all of the actors and musicians have gone home. Frank Rich's eloquent and moving boyhood memoir reveals how theater itself became a ghost light and a beacon of security for a child finding his way in a tumultuous world.
Struggling with his parents' divorce and the universal trial of childhood, Rich took refuge in the spectacle and emotion of the great musicals - South Pacific, Carousel, The Music Man -and eventually found a second home at Washington's National Theatre, where as a teen he was ticket-taker. The revered New York Times critic writes lovingly of how his favorite shows, songs, and actors became a lifeline, leading him out of a tumultuous household and propelling him towards the itinerant family of theater, whose romantic denizens welcomed him into the colorful fringes of Broadway during its last glamorous era.

Release date: 11-02-17
Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
A harrowing account of Afghanistan's notorious Pul-e-Charkhi prison, written by its longest-serving Western inmate.
Former soldier Rob Langdon was working as a security contractor in Afghanistan when he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in a case that would have been ruled a clear miscarriage of justice in the British legal system. His sentence was commuted to 20 years in jail, and he served his time in Kabul's most notorious prison, Pul-e-Charkhi, described as the world's worst place to be a Westerner.
Rob was there for seven years, the longest sentence served by a Westerner since the fall of the Taliban, and every one of those 2,500 days was an act of extraordinary survival in a jail filled with Afghanistan's most dangerous extremists and murderers. In 2016 Robert was pardoned and returned to Australia. In this highly anticipated audiobook, he will talk about his experiences for the first time.

Titolo: Il libro dell'inquietudine di Bernardo Soares
Autore: Fernando Pessoa
Narratore: Massimo De Santis
Formato: Unabridged
Durata: 10 hrs and 28 mins
Lingua: Italiano
Data di pubblicazione: 05-12-17
Editore: Audible Studios
Categoria: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Riepilogo:
"Il libro di Soares è certamente un romanzo. O meglio, è un romanzo doppio, perché Pessoa ha inventato un personaggio di nome Bernardo Soares e gli ha delegato il compito di scrivere un diario. Soares è cioè un personaggio di finzione che adopera la sottile finzione letteraria dell'autobiografia. In questa autobiografia senza fatti di un personaggio inesistente consiste l'unica grande opera narrativa che Pessoa ci abbia lasciato: il suo romanzo". (Antonio Tabucchi)

Title: Beat Cop to Top Cop
Author: John F. Timoney
Narrator: Steven Roy Grimsley
Format: Unabridged
Length: 13 hrs and 10 mins
Language: English
Release date: 08-14-13
Publisher: University Press Audiobooks
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Born in a rough-and-tumble neighborhood of Dublin, John F. Timoney moved to New York with his family in 1961. Not long after graduating from high school in the Bronx, he entered the New York City Police Department, quickly rising through the ranks to become the youngest four-star chief in the history of that department. Timoney and the rest of the command assembled under Police Commissioner Bill Bratton implemented a number of radical strategies, protocols, and management systems, including CompStat, that led to historic declines in nearly every category of crime.
In 1998, Mayor Ed Rendell of Philadelphia hired Timoney as police commissioner to tackle the city's seemingly intractable violent crime rate. Philadelphia became the great laboratory experiment: Could the systems and policies employed in New York work elsewhere? Under Timoney's leadership, crime declined in every major category, especially homicide. A similar decrease not only in crime but also in corruption marked Timoney's tenure in his next position as police chief of Miami, a post he held from 2003 to January 2010.
Beat Cop to Top Cop: A Tale of Three Cities documents Timoney's rise, from his days as a tough street cop in the South Bronx to his role as police chief of Miami. This fast-moving narrative by the man Esquire Magazine named "America's Top Cop" offers a blueprint for crime prevention through first-person accounts from the street, detailing how big-city chiefs and their teams can tame even the most unruly cities.
Policy makers and academicians have long embraced the view that the police could do little to affect crime in the long term. John Timoney has devoted his career to dispelling this notion. Beat Cop to Top Cop tells us how.
The book is published by University of Pennsylvania Press.

Title: The Perfect Score Project
Author: Debbie Stier
Narrator: Debbie Stier
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 7 mins
Language: English
Release date: 02-25-14
Publisher: Random House Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
The Perfect Score Project is an indispensable guide to acing the SAT - as well as the affecting story of a single moms quest to light a fire under her teenage son.
It all began as an attempt by Debbie Stier to help her high-school age son, Ethan, who would shortly be studying for the SAT. Aware that Ethan was a typical teenager (i.e., completely uninterested in any test) and that a mind-boggling menu of test-prep options existed, she decided - on his behalf - to sample as many as she could to create the perfect SAT test-prep recipe.
Debbies quest turned out to be an exercise in both hilarity and heartbreak as she took the SAT seven times in one year and in-between went to school on standardized testing. Here, she reveals why the SAT has become so important, the cottage industries it has spawned, what really works in preparing for the test and what is a waste of time.
Both a toolbox of fresh tips and an amusing snapshot of parental love and wisdom colliding with teenage apathy, The Perfect Score Project rivets. In the audiobook, Debbie does it all: wrestles with Kaplan and Princeton Review, enrolls in Kumon, navigates khanacademy.org, meets regularly with a premier grammar coach, takes a battery of intelligence tests, and even cadges free lessons from the worlds most prestigious (and expensive) test prep company.
Along the way she answers the questions that plague every test-prep rookie, including: "When do I start?"..."Do the brand-name test prep services really deliver?"..."Which should I go with: a tutor, an SAT class, or self study?"..."Does test location really matter?" "How do I find the right tutor?" "How do SAT scores affect merit aid?"... and "Whats the one thing I need to know?"
The Perfect Score Project's combination of charm, authority, and unexpected poignancy makes it one of the most compulsively listenable guides to SAT test prep ever - and an audiobook that will make you think hard about what really matters.

Title: Perfection
Author: Julie Metz
Narrator: Cassandra Campbell
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 42 mins
Language: English
Release date: 07-29-09
Publisher: Hyperion AudioBooks
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Julie Metz's life changes forever on one ordinary January afternoon when her husband, Henry, collapses on the kitchen floor and dies in her arms. Suddenly, this mother of a six-year-old is the young widow in a bucolic small town. And this is only the beginning. Seven months after Henry's death, just when Julie thinks she is emerging from the worst of it, comes the rest of it: She discovers that what had appeared to be the reality of her marriage was but a half-truth. Henry had hidden another life from her.
"He loved you so much." That's what everyone keeps telling her. It's true that he loved Julie and their six-year-old daughter ebulliently and devotedly, but as she starts to pick up the pieces and rebuild her life without Henry in it, she learns that Henry had been unfaithful throughout their 12 years of marriage. The most damaging affair was ongoing - a tumultuous relationship that ended only with Henry's death. For Julie, the only thing to do was to get at the real truth - to strip away the veneer of "perfection" that was her life and confront each of the women beneath the veneer.
Perfection is the story of Julie Metz's journey through chaos and transformation as she creates a different life for herself and her young daughter. It is the story of coming to terms with painful truths, of rebuilding both a life and an identity after betrayal and widowhood. It is a story of rebirth and happiness - if not perfection.

Language: English
Release date: 10-09-12
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Based on a popular ESPN Magazine article - optioned by Disney films, a finalist for a National Magazine Award and chosen by Dave Eggers for inclusion in Best American Nonrequired Reading 2011 - the astonishing true story of Phiona Mutesi, a teenager from the slums of Kampala, Uganda, who - inspired by an unlikely mentor, a war refugee turned missionary - becomes an international chess champion.
Phiona Mutesi sleeps in a decrepit shack with her mother and four siblings and struggles to find a single meal each day. Phiona has been in and out of school her whole life because her mother cannot afford it, so she is only now learning to read and write. Phiona Mutesi is also one of the best chess players in the world.
One day in 2005, while searching for food, nine-year-old Phiona followed her brother to a dusty veranda where she met Robert Katende, another child of the Ugandan slums, who works for an American organization that offers relief and religion through sports. Robert introduced Phiona to the game of chess and soon recognized her immense talent. By the age of 11 Phiona was her countrys junior chess champion and at 15, her countrys national champion. In September of 2010 she traveled to Siberia, just her second time ever on an airplane, to compete in the Chess Olympiad, the worlds most prestigious team chess event.
Phionas dream is to one day become a grandmaster, the most elite title in chess, and to blaze a trail out of Katwe that other children in Roberts chess community can follow. But to reach that goal, she must grapple with everyday life in one of the worlds most unstable countries, a place where girls are taught to be mothers, not dreamers, and the threats of AIDS, kidnapping, and starvation loom over the people of Katwe.
Acclaimed sports journalist Tim Crothers has written a riveting and inspiring account of one girls improbable journey to becoming a chess champion. The Queen of Katwe will thrill every listener who loves a great underdog story.

Release date: 05-12-10
Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Through a blend of memoir and history, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Kai Bird recounts the Western experience in the Middle East and just why it has been so turbulent. Through Bird s Zelig-like presence, the reader experiences the Suez War of 1956, the June 1967 War, and the Black September hijackings of 1970 that led to the Jordanian Civil War. Bird's memoir also shows how all of these momentous events led to the rise and tragic downfall of a secular Arab nationalist ethosonly to be replaced by the rise of a fundamentalist, politically reactionary Islamist movement.
In narrative history, Bird tells the stories of such illuminating figures as life-long Jerusalem resident George Antonius, author of The Arab Awakening, and his charismatic wife; Jordans King Hussein and his CIA connections; the businessman Salem bin Laden, Osamas older brother and a family friend; Saudi kings Faisal and Khalid; President Nasser of Egypt; and Leila Khaled, the striking young Palestinian radical who hijacked one of the Black September planes.
Birds personal insights and unique connections create a portal into the sensibilities and psyche of these lands that is sure to fascinate both those fluent in the history of the Middle East and the many who simply want to understand this region that the West seems to be both fighting for and against.

Language: English
Release date: 10-10-17
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Watching the towers crumble, few remembered America had been attacked on 9/11, once before. Kathleen Murray Moran's own September 11th 25 years earlier occurred when her husband Brian, a member of the New York City Bomb Squad was killed defusing a bomb Croatian freedom-fighters placed in a Grand Central Station locker before hijacking TWA flight 355 from La Guardia airport.
Life Detonated is the story of how that bomb ripped through Kathleen's life, the life she had so carefully created after spending her childhood in a bug-infested basement of a Bronx tenement, one of eight children, where the door was left open to drug dealers and pimps, until she was saved by the man who became a hero to Kathleen and the city of New York.
This is a survivor's story. It is the story of moving from being the unintended target of political terrorism to becoming the founder of Survivors of the Shield, a group that advocates for and provides support and assistance to the spouses and children of New York City police officers killed in the line of duty. It is the story of how she moved from poverty to the suburbs and refused to go back after Brian's death. It is a story of resilience in the face of senseless tragedy. And it is the story of evil villains and surprising superheroes.

Title: A Day in the Life of a Minimalist
Author: Joshua Fields Millburn
Narrator: Simon Whistler
Format: Unabridged
Length: 4 hrs and 26 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-21-12
Publisher: Asymmetrical Press
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
At age 30, Joshua Fields Millburn left his six-figure career, ditched most of his material possessions, and started focusing on life's most important aspects. Once he embraced his newfound minimalist lifestyle, he never looked back.
Suffice it to say, everything has changed in Millburn's life in the last three years. After his mother died in October 2009 and his marriage ended a month later, he began questioning everything in his life: his material possessions, his career, his goals, his health, his relationships, his path in life. Soon he discovered minimalism.
In the three years since the author adopted a minimalist lifestyle, he has written more than 300 essays about minimalism and intentional living. He has written about his journey, his failures, his lessons, and everything he has learned during his transformation.
A Day in the Life of a Minimalist is a collection of his best, most important individual writings - rethought and edited specifically for this collection. This book contains 50 essays about living a meaningful life with less stuff, including The Short Guide to Getting Rid of Your Crap, The Commodification of Love, Letting Go of Shitty Relationships, and the title essay. Collectively, these essays are purposefully organized into nine sections - lifestyle, goals, experiments, clutter, relationships, changes, philosophy, consumer culture, and work - covering a variety of topics, viewpoints, and arguments within those themes.
Also included are a special forward written by Colin Wright (the man who introduced Millburn to minimalism) and an introduction by Joshua Fields Millburn, as well as two unpublished essays that can't be found anywhere else: What If Everyone Was a Minimalist? and Work-Life Balance.
These essays were written to encourage listeners to think critically about the excess in their lives, and ultimately, to take action towards living more intentionally. This collection is short enough to be read in a few sittings, or it can be digested slowly, listening to one essay a day for nearly two months, applying its principals each day to your own life.

Title: The Beauty of Broken
Author: Elisa Morgan
Narrator: Elisa Morgan
Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-03-13
Publisher: Thomas Nelson Publishers
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
Find beauty and hope by facing and dealing with the messiness of family life. The family is an imperfect institution. Broken people become broken parents who make broken families. But actually, broken is normal and exactly where God wants us. In The Beauty of Broken, Elisa Morgan, one of today's most respected female Christian leaders, for the first time shares her very personal story of brokenness - from her first family of origin to the second, represented by her husband and two grown children. Over the years, Elisas family struggled privately with issues many parents must face, including: alcoholism and drug addiction, infertility and adoption, teen pregnancy and abortion, divorce, homosexuality, and death. Each story layers onto the next to reveal the brokenness that comes into our lives without invitation. "Weve bought into the myth of the perfect family," says Elisa. "Formulaic promises about the family may have originated in well-meaning intentions, but such thinking isn't realistic. It's not helpful. It's not even kind." Instead she offers hope in the form of "broken family values" that allow parents to grow and thrive with God. Values such as commitment, humility, relinquishment, and respect carry us to new places of understanding. Owning our brokenness shapes us into God's best idea for us and enables us to discover the beauty in ourselves and each member of our family.

Lawford recalls Marilyn Monroe teaching him to dance the twist in his living room when he was still a toddler, being awakened late at night by his uncle Jack to hear him announce his candidacy for president, being perched atop a high-roller craps table in Las Vegas while Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack swapped jokes and threw dice, and other treasured memories of his youth as part of America's royal family.
In spite of this seemingly idyllic childhood, Lawford's early life was marked by the traumatic assassinations of his beloved uncles Jack and Bobby, and he soon succumbed to the burgeoning drug scene of the 1970s during his teen years. With compelling realism mixed with equal doses of self-deprecating wit, youthful bravado, and hard-earned humility, Symptoms of Withdrawal chronicles Lawford's deep and long descent into near-fatal drug and alcohol addiction, and his subsequent formidable path back to the sobriety he has preserved for the past 20 years.

Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins
Language: English
Release date: 03-14-17
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
On January 1, 2014, homebrewer and writer Derek Dellinger began a journey that would change nearly everything he thought he knew about fermented food and beverage - and as a beer expert, he knew a lot. For an entire year, Dellinger would eat or drink only products that had been created by microbes. Exploring the vast world of fermentation, Dellinger became the living embodiment of its cultural and nutritional power - he became the Fermented Man.
In this entertaining and informative narrative, Dellinger catalogs his year spent on this unorthodox diet, revealing insights about the science of fermentation, as well as its cultural history, culinary value, and nutritional impact along the way. He goes beyond yogurt and sauerkraut to show us how fermentation occurs in a wide range of foods we might never have expected, and is at the root of many unique delicacies around the world. From foraging for living bacteria in the modern American grocery store, to sampling mucousy green Century Eggs in Chinatown, to an epic winter quest to Iceland for rotten shark meat, Dellinger investigates a realm of forgotten foods that is endlessly complex and surprisingly flavorful.

Title: Boys Among Men
Author: Jonathan Abrams
Narrator: Mirron Willis
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11 hrs and 53 mins
Language: English
Release date: 06-07-16
Publisher: Tantor Audio
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Summary:
When Kevin Garnett shocked the world by announcing that he would not be attending college - as young basketball prodigies were expected to do - but instead would enter the 1995 NBA draft directly from high school, he blazed a trail for a generation of teenage basketball players to head straight for the pros. That trend would continue until the NBA instituted an age limit in 2005, requiring all players to attend college or another developmental program for at least one year. Over that decade-plus period, the list of players who made that difficult leap included some of the most celebrated players of the modern era: Garnett, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Tracy McGrady, and numerous others. It also included notable "busts" who either physically or mentally proved unable to handle the transition. But for better or for worse, the face of the NBA was forever changed by the prep-to-pro generation.
In compelling, masterfully crafted prose, Boys Among Men goes behind the scenes and draws on hundreds of firsthand interviews to paint insightful and engaging portraits of the most pivotal figures and events during this time.
