Title: One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future

Length: 06:18:00
Language: English
Release date: 05-20-14

Summary:
Dear Reader, 
In February 2013 I gave a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Standing a few feet from President Obama, I warned my fellow citizens of the dangers facing our country and called for a return to the principles that made America great.
Many Americans heard and responded, but our nation’s decline has continued. Today the danger is greater than ever before, and I have never shared a more urgent message than I do now.
Our growing debt and deteriorating morals have driven us far from the founders’ intent. We’ve made very little progress in basic education. Obamacare threatens our health, liberty, and financial future. Media elitism and political correctness are out of control.
Worst of all, we seem to have lost our ability to discuss important issues calmly and respectfully regardless of party affiliation or other differences. As a doctor rather than a politician, I care about what works, not whether someone has an (R) or a (D) after his or her name. We have to come together to solve our problems.
Knowing that the future of my grandchildren is in jeopardy because of reckless spending, godless government, and mean-spirited attempts to silence critics left me no choice but to write this book. I have endeavored to propose a road out of our decline, appealing to every American’s decency and common sense.
If each of us sits back and expects someone else to take action, it will soon be too late. But with your help, I firmly believe that America may once again be “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Sincerely,
Ben Carson

Title: I Heard My Country Calling: A Memoir
Author: James Webb
Narrator: George Newbern
Format: Unabridged
Length: 12:04:00
Language: English
Release date: 05-20-14
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:
In this brilliantly received memoir, former senator James Webb has outdone himself. It is rare in America that one individual is recognized for the highest levels of combat valor, as a respected member of the literary and journalistic world, and as a blunt-spoken leader in national politics. In this extraordinary memoir, Webb writes vividly about the early years that shaped such a remarkable personal journey.
Webb’s mother grew up in the poverty-stricken cotton fields of East Arkansas. His father and lifetime hero was the first in many generations of Webbs, whose roots are in Appalachia, to finish high school. He flew bombers in World War II and cargo planes in the Berlin Airlift, graduated from college in middle age, and became an expert in the nation’s most advanced weaponry.
Webb’s account of his childhood is a tremendous American saga as the family endures the constant moves and challenges of the rarely examined post–World War II military, with a stern but emotionally invested father, a loving mother who had borne four children by the age of twenty-four, a granite-like grandmother who held the family together during his father’s frequent deployments, and a rich assortment of aunts, siblings, and cousins. Webb tells of his four years at Annapolis in a voice that is painfully honest but in the end triumphant.
His description of Vietnam’s most brutal battlefields breaks new literary ground. One of the most highly decorated combat Marines of that war, he is a respected expert on the history and conduct of the war. Webb’s novelist’s eyes and ears invest this work with remarkable power, whether he is describing the resiliency that grew from constant relocations during his childhood, the longing for his absent father, his poignant good-bye to his parents as he leaves for Vietnam, his role as a twenty-three-year-old lieutenant through months of constant combat, or his election to the Senate, where he was a leader on national defense, foreign policy, and economic fairness. This is a life that could happen only in America.

Title: Fly a Little Higher: How God Answered a Mom's Small Prayer in a Big Way
Author: Laura Sobiech

Format: Unabridged
Length: 09:14:38
Language: English
Release date: 05-13-14
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Disorders & Diseases, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:
Join Laura Sobiech as she shares the amazing story of how God used her son's battle with cancer to touch the lives of millions.
'Okay, Lord, you can have him. But if he must die, I want it to be for something big. I want someone's life to be changed forever.' This is what Laura Sobiech prayed when she found out her seventeen-year-old son only had one year left to live. With this desperate prayer, she released her son to God's will.
When his mother told him to think about writing goodbye letters to family and friends, he decided instead to write songs. One of them, Clouds, captured hearts and changed not one life but millions, making him an international sensation.
But Zach's story isn't just about music. It's a testament to:
- What can happen when you live as if each day might be your last
- The strength of the human spirit
- The power of using your voice
Above all, Zach's story is an example of the amazing things that happen when someone shares the most precious thing he has--himself. 
Praise for Fly a Little Higher:
'Once in a blue moon, you meet someone who changes you. Though I never met Zach Sobiech, his grace in the face of a devastating prognosis was a beautiful thing to witness. The fact that his mother, Laura, and entire family were able to accompany him on his journey with such strength and courage (not to mention love and laughter) is a powerful lesson, not about dying, but about living.'
 --Katie Couric, journalist and bestselling author of Going There
'Through a few chords and a simple song, Zach Sobiech inspired millions of voices to sing along to a message of courage, grace, and the acceptance of love. Fly A Little Higher is proof that one of God's great gifts is music. Sing loud and rejoice.'
--Scott Herold, CEO and Founder, Rock the Cause Records

Language: English
Release date: 05-13-14
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Summary:
Beautiful and heartbreaking, comic and tragic, The Snow Queen once again proves that Michael Cunningham is one of the great novelists of his generation
Michael Cunningham's luminous novel begins with a vision. It's November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn't believe in visionsor in Godbut he can't deny what he's seen.
At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighbourhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett's older brother, a struggling musician, is tryingand failingto write a song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill. Tyler is determined to write a wedding song that will be not merely a sentimental ballad, but an enduring expression of love. Barrett, haunted by the light, turns unexpectedly to religion. Tyler grows increasingly convinced that only drugs can release his creative powers. Beth tries to face mortality with as much courage as she can summon.
Cunningham follows the Meeks brothers as each turns down a different path in his search for transcendence. In subtle, lucid prose, he demonstrates a profound empathy for his conflicted characters and a singular understanding of what lies at the depth of the human soul.

Title: Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden
Author: Jonas Jonasson
Narrator: Peter Kenny
Format: Unabridged
Length: 11:54:00
Language: English
Release date: 05-13-14
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Genres: Fiction & Literature, General

Summary:
Jonas Jonasson's picaresque tale of how one person's actions can have far-reachingeven globalconsequences, written with the same light-hearted satirical voice as his bestselling debut novel, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared.
On June 14th, 2007, the King and Prime Minister of Sweden went missing from a gala banquet at the Royal Castle. Later it was said that both had fallen ill: the truth is different. The real story starts much earlier, in 1961, with the birth of Nombeko Mayeki in a shack in Soweto. Nombeko was fated to grow up fast and die early in her poverty-stricken township. But Nombeko takes a different path. She finds work as a housecleaner and eventually makes her way up to the position of chief advisor, at the helm of one of the world's most secret projects.
Here is where the story merges with, then diverges from reality. South Africa developed six nuclear missiles in the 1980s, then voluntarily dismantled them in 1994. This is a story about the seventh missile . . . the one that was never supposed to have existed. Nombeko Mayeki knows too much about it, and now she's on the run from both the South African justice and the most terrifying secret service in the world. She ends up in Sweden, which has transformed into a nuclear nation, and the fate of the world now lies in Nombeko's hands.
