Terror to Triumph: Rebuilding Your Life After Domestic Violence: Stories of Strength and Success , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 365min
People congratulated me when I left my abusive marriage, but I didn’t feel like celebrating. I felt loss, grief, shame, anger, resentment, regret, uncertainty, relief and excitement. How can one person feel so many emotions at once? Where could I go for help? Who would understand?From these questions, the charity Broken to Brilliant was born, where survivors help other survivors rebuild their lives using the power of story.In Terror to Triumph, 12 domestic violence survivors describe the terror they experienced and the additional challenges they encountered from a system that was supposed to help them.Most importantly, they tell of the practical steps they have taken - physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually - to journey from darkness to light and build new lives. They tell of continued recovery, and how they have reclaimed self to reach a sense of triumph.Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity where domestic violence survivors mentor other survivors to re-establish successful lives.When we saw the impact our first book, Broken to Brilliant, had on people’s lives - how the words breathed hope into people’s hearts, how it gave them a spark that jump-started a new chapter in their lives, and how the power of people’s stories created ripples of recovery and repair - we could not turn away and stop these ripples of healing. There had to be a second book.We salute each of our authors for their courage and dedication, and hope Terror to Triumph will bring change and possibility into your life, too. ungekürzt.

The Lost Letters of William Shakespeare: The Undiscovered Diary of His Strange Eventful Life and Loves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1210min
Could a treasure trove of 400-year-old letters constitute a previously unknown "diary" written by William Shakespeare? After 25 years of research, I believe the astonishing answer is yes. The Lost Letters of William Shakespeare: The Undiscovered Diary of His Strange Eventful Life and Loves reveals vibrant details from Shakespeare's arrival in London to the premiere of Titus Andronicus, his first play to be staged, along with political commentary on Elizabethan of England (and surprising insight into how it affects us today), as well a magnificent but tragic love story.In 1989, I performed a one-man play about the life of William Shakespeare in London. "Miss B", an elderly woman was apparently sufficiently impressed by my impersonation of the Bard that she offered to show me some old, never-published letters that she believed were written by William Shakespeare. Although I was initially skeptical, it was an offer too good to pass up. What I discovered in these letters began to unravel almost everything I thought I knew about the great poet and playwright. My Prologue to The Lost Letters describes our meetings, more about my mysterious benefactor, and how - throughout my subsequent careers in business and public service - I spent over two decades decoding and researching what these letters had to say, in order to adapt this true story for the modern listener.Overall, these remarkable letters represent a wealth of as-yet-undiscovered knowledge about Shakespeare's relationships, personality, and career as he carved out his place in the chaotic world of 16th-century London. Whether you are a Shakespeare scholar, merely a fan, or even if you have never read any of his works, the stories of the The Lost Letters will enthrall you with their fascinating and true tale. ungekürzt.

Becoming Ronald Reagan: The Rise of a Conservative Icon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
In the 1960s, transitioning from acting to politics was rare. Ronald Reagan was not the first to do it, but he was the first to jump from the screen to the stump and on to credibility as a presidential contender. Reagan’s transformation from struggling liberal actor to influential conservative spokesman in five years - and then to the California governorship six years later - is a remarkable and compelling story.In Becoming Ronald Reagan, Robert Mann explores Reagan’s early life and his career during the 1950s and early 1960s, including his growing desire for acclaim in high school and college, his political awakening as a young Hollywood actor, his ideological evolution in the 1950s as he traveled the country for General Electric, the refining of his political skills during this period, his growing aversion to big government, and his disdain for the totalitarian leaders in the Soviet Union and elsewhere. All these experiences and more shaped Reagan’s politics and influenced his career as an elected official.Mann not only demonstrates how Reagan the actor became Reagan the political leader and how the liberal became a conservative, he also shows how the skills Reagan learned and the lessons he absorbed from 1954 to 1964 made him the inspiring leader so many Americans remember and revere to this day.The book is published by University of Nebraska Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.Praise for the book:“Will emerge as the standard interpretation of Reagan’s ideological evolution and his development as a major political figure. A must-read.” (Robert David Johnson, professor of Brooklyn College and the City University of New York Graduate Center)“With empathy and critical insight, Robert Mann guides us on a journey through Ronald Reagan’s personal and political awakening.” (Joshua M.

Evolve: A Near-Death Experience, from Chaos to Clarity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 350min
When she was just a child, Cindy Massey had an out-of-body experience that changed her life and set her on a spiritual path.One night, three-year-old Cindy drifted up and out of her crib, and suddenly, she was looking down at her own sleeping body. Simultaneously, she saw an awesome, nine-foot spiral of energy connecting her "ethereal body" to her child’s body. “How could something so tall fit inside something so small?” she wondered. She remembers now that she wasn’t afraid, but, even as a child, she simply knew that the energy spiral was her true self, and the physical body she was marveling at was the vessel that carried that awesome energy signature. This incredible moment marked the beginning of Cindy’s lifelong adventure into the world of spirit. This audiobook is Cindy’s story.In a world filled with work, family, stress, and “to do lists” a mile long, as adults we can easily forget what is truly important. But many of us come to believe that when we leave our physical body, the essence of who we once were moves on...with little or no attachment to our former physical life. When we understand this, our lives take on a different meaning. The wisdom Cindy shares in this audiobook can bring clarity and comfort to every person - child or adult - who has had a near-death experience. Since her first encounter with spirit at age three, Cindy Massey has had many spiritual shifts. These mysterious events have provided Cindy with both solace and insight into what is genuinely important in life - not only for herself but for every living being on our planet. Cindy felt called to write Evolve: A Near-Death Experience, From Chaos to Clarity, to help all of humanity to heal and to elevate human consciousness. ungekürzt. Language: English.

This Body's Not Big Enough for Both of Us: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 429min
Joss Whedon...can't possibly write All The Things That Are Kind of Like This. So hallelujah that Edgar Cantero - a Barcelona native whose first language is Spanish, but who spits pop-culture in English like the savviest geek in, say, Sheboygan posting on Tumblr - is writing some of them. (The Austin Chronicle)From the New York Times best-selling author of Meddling Kids comes a mind-blowing, gender-bending, genre-smashing romp through the entire pantheon of action and noir. It is also a bold, tautly crafted novel about family, being weird, and claiming your place in your own crazy story.In a dingy office in Fisherman's Wharf, the glass panel in the door bears the names of A. Kimrean and Z. Kimrean. Private Eyes. Behind the door there is only one desk, one chair, one scrawny androgynous P.I. in a tank top and skimpy waistcoat. A.Z., as they are collectively known, are twin brother and sister. He's pure misanthropic logic, she's wild hedonistic creativity. The Kimreans have been locked in mortal battle since they were in utero...which is tricky because they, very literally, share one single body. That's right. One body, two pilots. The mystery and absurdity of how Kimrean functions, and how they subvert every plotline, twist, explosion, and gunshot - and confuse every cop, neckless thug, cartel boss, ninja, and femme fatale - in the book is pure Cantero magic.Someone is murdering the sons of the ruthless drug cartel boss known as the Lyon in the biggest baddest town in California - San Carnal. The notorious A.Z. Kimrean must go to the sin-soaked, palm-tree-lined streets of San Carnal, infiltrate the Lyon's inner circle, and find out who is targeting his heirs, and while they are at it, rescue an undercover cop in too deep, deal with a plucky young stowaway, and stop a major gang war from engulfing California. They'll face every plot device and ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: January LaVoy. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/006298/bk_rand_006298_sample.mp3.
