    Baby Broker or Dedicated Doctor? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 382min
    This medical mystery novel features an idealistic young physician-to-be who loses her idealism after a series of overpowering events intervene to rob her of everything she loved. Who is Ellen Goodman? Is she the kind, empathetic obstetrician who has delivered thousands of babies? Or is she the greedy baby broker who sells the babies of poor, teenage girls to the highest bidder? Or, perhaps, is she a woman capable of even darker acts? Only you the reader can make that judgment. The story's target audience is comprised of fiction readers - medical personnel, midwives, fathers, mothers (married and single), lawyers - anybody that has given birth, is pregnant, delivered a baby, considered adoption or abortion as a possible solution, must steal, buy or borrow (and then read) Baby Broker by Shawn Graves and Don Canaan. Detective Liz Roberts, who we previously met in Dutiful Daughter (2011) will unravel the truth and uncover seventy years worth of secrets to discover a complicated tale of profound love between two people forbidden by law to be together because of the color of their skin. It is a tale of great sacrifice...and of greater evil. Meanwhile, Liz Roberts will also unearth a long-buried secret in her own family. A secret that will shake the foundations of her world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/010480/bk_acx0_010480_sample.mp3.

    Not a Cat: a memoir (eBook, ePUB)
    A funny, expansive, affirming story with a powerful message of self-determination for young kids: No one can label us if we do not allow ourselves to be labeled. Our identities are ours to choose and to live. Between his opening greeting and the bookend closing page on which he stalks away after taking no questions, Gato wants to make one thing perfectly clear: Although he has four legs, two ears, and a long, long tail, the word cat does not define him. His identity is his alone to describe and determine. With the help of Danica Novgorodoff's laugh-out-loud illustrations, he takes us on a tour of his adventures, accomplishments, and daily activities that makes mincemeat of our first impressions. He wears a sweater and a leash, so is he a dog? He runs in pastures, so is he a horse? He likes flowers, so is he a bee? He swims, so is he a duck? He has flown in airplanes and ridden in subways, so is he a person? Maybe he's all those things, but what he truly is, he wants us to know, is Gato. To underline the story's message of empowerment and self-identity, the back cover and backmatter include photos of the real Gato (Winter Miller's cat) doing everything he claims and more. Signs on walls, headlines in newspapers, New Yorker cartoon homages, and sight gags on every page reward repeated readings and will make this book the first one that parents reach for at bedtime.
