    In the ruins of North America, the Laws and Ways of the Sentinel control everyone and everything. The Sentinel's rule is enforced by The Black Sentry, his ominous ever-present police force. Every aspect of the villagers' lives is dictated by the Sentinel's orderly inescapable plan - including the Winnowing, the armed combat each boy is required to undergo on his sixteenth birthday. Daman Adkins is worried about his impending Winnowing, but he's even more troubled by everyone's blind acceptance of the Sentinel's inflexible regime. With the help of Brita, the brilliant girl he admires, and a slave, Xander, he tries to learn more about the fabled Resistance - the only people brave enough to stand up against the Sentinel. When Daman meets a Rebel on the run, he is forced to choose between the dull but predictable life he has known all his life - and the slim chance for a better world. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    After a lifetime of moving and change, Jan Carroll wants nothing more than to settle down and build a home. Then her father gets sick, and the stable - if solitary - life she's made as a high school geometry teacher in Spokane, Washington, threatens to crumble around her. She wants little to do with newcomer Tina Nelson, a shallow and unreliable playgirl. Especially since their mutual friend Brooke Stanton has been not-so-subtly matchmaking... Tina, a graphic artist and musician, has vowed to spend her life free from the obligations that characterized her youth. No ties, no long-term commitments. But she agrees to travel to Spokane to help her cousin promote his business and, in a second moment of weakness, promises to contact Jan. Tina is certain her acquaintance with the too-logical and inflexible woman will be a short one. Sometimes, though, love makes you throw away life's careful script. Can these women learn to improvise? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Melissa Sternenberg. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/087840/bk_acx0_087840_sample.mp3.

    Live...laugh...read...with New York Times best-selling author Christie Craig.... "...Fans of Janet Evanovich should check [Craig] out." (Parkersburg News and Sentinel on Divorced, Desperate and Delicious) Macy Tucker was five years old when her beloved grandfather dropped dead in his spaghetti. At 12, her father left his family in the dust. At 25, her husband gave his secretary a pre-Christmas bonus in bed, and Macy gave him the boot. To put things lightly, men have been undependable. That's why dating's off the menu. Macy is focused on putting herself through law school - which means being the delivery girl for Papa's Pizza. But cheesier than her job is her pie-eyed brother, who just recently escaped from prison to protect his new girlfriend. And hotter than Texas toast is the investigating detective. Proud, sexy...inflexible, he's a man who would kiss her just to shut her up. But Jake Baldwin's a protector as much as a dish. And when he gets his man - or his woman - Macy knows it's for life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Courtney Patterson.

    Two weeks ago, Chase Riley and her best friend were kidnapped, severely beaten and left for dead. Chase was the lone survivor but has been in a coma since she was found. The police, led by her ex-boyfriend, Detective Phillip Wade, still have no idea what happened. When Phillip gets the call that his sleeping beauty is finally awake, he rushes to her side. There's just one little problem. Chase doesn't recall that fateful night, and doctors aren't certain if she'll ever remember. And the woman before him is nothing like the laughing jokester Phillip once fell for. This woman is quiet, cautious and afraid. Lines are crossed from the first moment he holds her in his arms and promises everything will be okay. She doesn't remember their friendly breakup over his inflexible schedule or her uncertainty about marriage and the stress and pressure of being a cop's wife. He's not the only one watching and waiting to see if she'll remember. There's someone else with plans to make sure Chase goes back to sleep - permanently. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Henry Leutwyler is certainly no stranger to the art of ballet-for many years he photographed on stage and behind the scenes at the New York City Ballet, culminating in his book Ballet, since published by Steidl in two editions. Yet Misty Copeland pushes Leutwyler's vision into a new direction: neither a strict portrait of the renowned ballerina nor a mere documentation of her exceptional craft, this is an intimate collaboration between photographer and subject that explores the subtleties of Copeland as a performer, person, persona and idol.Born in Kansas City, Missouri, and raised in San Pedro, California, Copeland's biography has all the arc of a fairy tale: she was living in a shabby hotel room, struggling with five siblings for a place to sleep on the floor, when she began ballet studies at the late age of 13. She soon proved a prodigy: within three months of her first class she was dancing en pointe, in just over a year she was performing professionally. In 2015 she became the first African-American woman appointed principal dancer at the prestigious American Ballet Theatre in the 75 years of its existence. In Copeland's own words: "The path to your success is not as fixed and inflexible as you think."

    A best-selling expert on education shows how to make the school system work for your child. How many parents have a child struggling in school? The answer: a great many. This audiobook is an informed, practical resource for such parents. As the author of the classic book on home-schooling, The Well-Trained Mind, Susan Wise Bauer knows how children learn and how schools work. Her advice here is comprehensive and anecdotal, including material drawn from experience with her own four children. The author's rule of thumb is that when a child is struggling, the problem probably lies with the school or the system, not with the child. She knows that the K-12 system, with its rigid rules of advancement and endless testing, doesn't work for all children. She shows parents how to take control of grade placement, pace, style of instruction, disability diagnosis, gifted services, and many other aspects of our school system that seem inflexible, in order to shape them to the child's needs not the other way around. Parents will find a comforting clarity and sanity in this audiobook. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christina Moore.

    El autor de este libro pasó de trabajar en el mundo editorial, dar clases de interpretación actoral y estar bien considerado, a ser bipolar, con vida de bipolar, con pensión de bipolar. Y ser mirado y tratado como bipolar; en algunos casos con desconfianza, en otros con paternalismo y casi siempre con recelo. Esta obra valiente y sincera cuenta cómo el sentimiento de ineptitud social, junto a la cronicidad de la medicación parecen el camino marcado para alguien que ha sufrido una crisis mental grave. Es fácil que el diagnóstico se confunda con la esencia de la persona y se reduzca a una receta cómoda para millones de personas. A un diagnóstico. Con el valor emocional de lo vivido, este libro resulta tan intenso que rehúye la posibilidad misma de redención. Pero de eso se trata. De afrontar la soledad, el desamparo, con ayuda ajena, hablando, compartiendo la angustia. No de describir patologías ni de marcar con dudosos diagnósticos, sino de comprender, si se puede, y de aliviar el sufrimiento. Nada que ver con la autoayuda ni con la negación radical de la medicación, pero tampoco con una biomedicina pautada, inflexible y despersonalizada. Solo la aceptación de la locura como parte del ser humano nos permitirá una mirada de ternura hacia los considerados locos, pero sobre todo hacia nosotros mismos.

    A deaf aristocrat fights to protect all he loves from a killer he cannot hear Moments before the wedding, Christopher Sterry finds the groom, his twin brother, murdered. One would expect Christopher to become the next Earl of Longford. No one would be surprised if he married his twin's almost-bride, Helen Grove. She is, after all, his closest friend and confidante. Except Christopher is deaf in an inflexible world that believes a deaf mute is no better than a barbaric half-wit, unfit to be an earl and quite capable of murdering his brother. Helen waits at the altar while her groom lies murdered in the folly. But there is no time to mourn. Christopher is in danger and so, it appears, is she. Born to marry the earl of Longford, whoever that may be, Helen ignores her own risks and crosses into the line of fire to protect the man who holds her heart. Lady Eleanor solves crimes more thoroughly than any male magistrate. So when Christopher, her godson, is condemned without evidence, she sets out to prove both his innocence and his competence as earl. If she fails, Christopher will die...or be returned to an asylum worse than hell. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Sarah Agliotta.
