From bestseller Mario Escobar comes a 20th-century historical novel of sacrifice and resilience inspired by Spain's famed Children of Morelia and the true events that shaped their lives.Madrid, 1934. Though the Spanish Civil War has not yet begun, the streets of Madrid have become dangerous for thirteen-year-old Marco Alcalde and his two younger sisters. Marco's parents align themselves against the new fascist regime, unaware that their choice will endanger the entire family-nor do they predict the violence that is to come.In a desperate bid for safety, the Alcaldes join many other Spanish families in making an impossible choice to send their unaccompanied children across the ocean to the city of Morelia, Mexico-a place they've never seen or imagined, but whose government promises their children protection. Young Marco promises to look after his sisters in Mexico until their family can be reunited in Spain, but a harrowing journey ensues.As the growing children work to care for themselves and each other, they feel their sense of home, family, and identity slipping further and further away.

    Mr. Robot
    Step inside the frontlines of the hit TV show Mr. Robot with this new in-world fiction book by series creator and showrunner Sam Esmail and series writer Courtney Looney-the first and only book to tie in to USA's Golden Globe® Award-winning series. The book will tell a brand-new story, reveal secrets from the show's second season, and tease developments to come. With removable items from the world of the show, the book will give readers a chance to hold a piece of the series in their own hands. Mr. Robot is a new kind of television show-one that explores, more realistically than any of its contemporaries, mental health issues, income inequality, data security, and corporate power, all through the lens of the generation just coming of age.The New York Times called it "relentless, sensational, and unabashedly suspenseful," the New Yorker called it "terrific" and listed it among the year's best TV, and Rolling Stone said it's "easily the year's most audacious drama" and the "best TV show of 2015." Stars Rami Malek and Christian Slater took home a Critics' Choice® Award and a Golden Globe Award, respectively, and the show itself received a Golden Globe Award and a Critics' Choice Award for best television drama. In Mr. Robot, Elliot Alderson is a troubled young computer coder who struggles with depression and paranoia. His day job as a cybersecurity specialist doesn't fully utilize his talents, so he turns to vigilantism in his free time as a "white hat" hacker, fighting for causes society fails to champion. He self-medicates with dangerous drugs, and, as he's drawn into the web of an anarchist known as Mr. Robot, we begin to understand the secrets he's been keeping from himself. Soon, Elliot's hacking skills plunge him into a battle to destroy a key center of society's power and finance-the world's largest, and most maleficent, corporation. At the same time, we see that Elliot has been anything but a reliable narrator, with the details of his past and damaged psyche surfacing in ways that endanger the entire world.

    6 Love Styles: Does Your Partner Love You?: Learning Thyself, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
    Have you ever wondered whether or not your partner really loves you? After all, exploiters and manipulators throw the word "love" around when they are vying for sex or material goods from their targeted victims. People say "I love you" when they are cheating on their partner or robbing them or putting antifreeze in their lemonade. They say "I love you" when they are cashing out the other person’s life insurance policy. The word "love" is thrown around and becomes meaningless in the wrong person’s hands.Some people believe in the word "love", but there are several ways that people can love one another. Your marital relationship might not be based on the same definition of love as your parent’s relationship, for example. Arranged marriages might not be based on the same definition of love as relationships entered into at-will. You love your friends different than you love your partners. It is even said that psychopaths love their friends much differently than they love their partners and siblings.Why should we worry about whether our loved ones truly love us in meaningful ways? People who love in all the wrong ways might cheat on us or take advantage of us. They may put us in the center of a love triangle and endanger our lives. We don’t want to waste our time and our financial resources on someone who is out to take us for everything we have.Predators are everywhere and knowing where you (and the people in your life) stand will ensure that you do not fall victim to others who are out to exploit and manipulate you. Knowing where you stand in your love style will also help to match you up with the right friends and partners. You can also learn the love style of your child or teenager so that you do not take their signs of love for granted.6 Styles of LoveSome people have heard of the book 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. But have you heard about the 6 love styles or the color theory of love which was devis ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pete Beretta.

    The Girl Who Swam to Atlantis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 202min
    Nearly everything important in 12-year-old Gabriella's life that summer of 1957 can be traced to the river. Without friends, her mother mysteriously absent, and her father, the general, treating her as if she doesn't exist, Gabriella turns to the river beside the Marine base where she lives in North Carolina. She's determined to learn to swim so she can make the general proud by showing him she's good at something. At the river Gabriella meets Hawkins, an African-American steward in the kitchen of her father's quarters. Gabriella decides to trust Hawkins to show her a few swim techniques. He becomes her swim coach and a person she can talk with, even about the tragedy of the youth Emmett Till. Two years earlier, the fourteen-year-old Emmett was lynched and his body thrown into Mississippi's Tallahatchie River. Despite brutal beatings, Emmett refused to say what his racist murderers wanted: that he wasn't as good as them. At the river beach in North Carolina, Gabriella becomes close friends with Doyle, a teen and neighbor who plays Mississippi Delta Blues for her on his guitar. She tangles with another neighbor, Col. Perkins, a lurking presence with more than just a casual interest in Gabriella's growing friendship with Hawkins. And she feels a tide in her heart pulling her across the river to an old mansion, a tide as strong as a mother's love, even a deeply troubled mother who does not want to be found.If she can reach Mama, if she can show the general she's good at something, Gabriella will have the only thing she's ever wanted: her family together again. At the river Hawkins helps her find her strength. Emmett helps her find her heart. Yet as she swims toward young adulthood, it could all be lost. Emmett had been murdered for whistling at a white woman. Could her friendship with Hawkins endanger the tough Marine? It doesn't seem possible. Until a sudden storm on the river changes Gabriella's life - forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lindsey Gast.

    Madame Presidentess , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 748min
    Forty-eight years before women were granted the right to vote, one woman dared to run for president of the United States, yet her name has been virtually written out of the history books. Rising from the shame of an abusive childhood, Victoria Woodhull, the daughter of a con-man and a religious zealot, vows to follow her destiny, one the spirits say will lead her out of poverty to "become ruler of her people". But the road to glory is far from easy. A nightmarish marriage teaches Victoria that women are stronger and deserve far more credit than society gives. Eschewing the conventions of her day, she strikes out on her own to improve herself and the lot of American women. Over the next several years, she sets into motion plans that shatter the old boys club of Wall Street and defile even the sanctity of the halls of Congress. But it's not just her ambition that threatens men of wealth and privilege; when she announces her candidacy for president in the 1872 election, they realize she may well usurp the power they've so long fought to protect. Those who support her laud "Notorious Victoria" as a gifted spiritualist medium and healer, a talented financial mind, a fresh voice in the suffrage movement, and the radical idealist needed to move the nation forward. But those who dislike her see a dangerous force who is too willing to speak out when women are expected to be quiet. Ultimately, "Mrs. Satan's" radical views on women's rights, equality of the sexes, free love, and the role of politics in private affairs collide with her tumultuous personal life to endanger all she has built and change how she is viewed by future generations. This is the story of one woman who was ahead of her time - a woman who would make waves even in the 21st century - but who dared to speak out and challenge the conventions of post-Civil War America, setting a precedent that is still followed by female politicians today. ungekürzt.
