Jack the Ripper Victims Series: The Double Event , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 669min
Jack the Ripper Victims Series: The Double Event features two novels in one volume. On the night of September 30, 1888, Jack the Ripper took two lives in the Whitechapel district of London. Elizabeth Stride was killed at about 1 a.m. A 10-minute walk away, and less than an hour later, Catherine Eddowes was killed. The next day, a letter known as the Saucy Jacky postcard was received at the Central News Agency. The message was meant to taunt the police and perhaps the entire city. The writer, who signed the postcard Jack the Ripper, referred to the killings of the night before as "the double event." Since the murderer was never caught, fascination with the unsolved mystery has been widespread and enduring. But what of the women? Who were they? What was life like for them in London of that time period? What were their struggles, their hopes, their regrets? What of the decisions they made in life that might have delivered them into the bloody hands of the Ripper? The two novels within this volume, Say Anything But Your Prayers, about the life of Elizabeth Stride, and Of Thimble and Threat, about the life of Catherine Eddowes, give possible answers to these questions. Say Anything But Your Prayers: The beast of poverty and disease had stalked Elizabeth all her life, waiting for the right moment to take her down. To survive, she listened to the two extremes within herself - Bess, the innocent child of hope, and Liza, the cynical, hard-bitten opportunist. While Bess paints rosy pictures of what lies ahead and Liza warns of dangers everywhere, the beast, in the guise of a man offering something better, circles closer. Of Thimble and Threat: The story of the intense love between a mother and a child, a story of poverty and loss, fierce independence, and unconquerable will. It is the devastating portrayal of a self-perpetuated descent into Hell, a lucid view into the darkest parts of the human ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alicia Rose.

Feel the uncertainty, doubt, and danger faced by the pioneer women of Kansas as they defend their homes and pray for their men during the Civil War. We think the Civil War took place in the South, but the Plains States endured their share of battles and tragedy. Not only did Kansas and Missouri experience a resurgence in the terrorist raids that had plagued them in the years before the war, but the Confederate Army tried several times to sweep across the Great Plains and capture the West. Stitch of Courage, the third book in the Trail of Thread series, tells the story of the orphaned Maggie Kennedy, who followed her brothers to Kansas in the late 1850s. The niece of Margaret Ralston Kennedy, the main character in Hubalek's Thimble of Soil book, Maggie married the son of Deborah Pieratt, whose story was told in the Hubalek's Trial of Thread book. In letters to her sister in Ohio, Maggie describes how the women of Kansas faced the demons of the Civil War, fighting bravely to protect their homes and families while never knowing from one day to the next whether their men were alive or dead on the faraway battlefield. ungekürzt.

The Pink Chestnut , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
When I learned that I had stage-four lung cancer, I started the hard battle to survive it. What I knew then could have fit into a thimble. There was a tumor in my lung along with its partner in my brain. Life had to change quickly for Fred and me because we weren’t sure where our path was leading us to. During the surgeries and treatment phases, I could not do simple tasks such as laundry or the grocery shopping. Blessed with good friends and family members we were able to live an almost normal life. Fred set up a whiteboard in the living room for scheduling my trips to the hospital. Calls came from friends and family to sign up and Fred would put their names on the board so that I never had to worry about who was picking me up. We were grateful for the medical teams who walked us through brain surgery, thoracic surgery, and treatment, which included 15 sessions of whole brain surgery along with four months of chemotherapy. We listened to what they told us to do and how to live in our own home. A bond develops between the medical staff and the patient, as well as with friends and family. There are no secrets to conceal from them; our medical team saved my life because we told them everything. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Al Moulliet.

From Here to Home: Too Much, Texas, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 734min
New York Times best-selling author Marie Bostwick welcomes listeners to the quirky, unforgettable town of Too Much, Texas, in a heartwarming, richly satisfying story about friendship and moving forward. Mary Dell Templeton prefers the quiet charms of Too Much to the bright lights of Dallas any day. She's relieved to be moving back to her hometown - and bringing her cable TV show, Quintessential Quilting, with her. There are just a couple of wrinkles in her plan. Her son, Howard, who is her talented cohost and color consultant, and who happens to have Down syndrome, wants to stay in Dallas and become more independent. Meanwhile, Mary Dell's new boss hopes to attract a different demographic - by bringing in a younger cohost. What Holly Silva knows about quilting wouldn't fill a thimble, but she's smart and ambitious. Her career hinges on outshining the formidable Mary Dell in order to earn her own show. Yet as Holly adapts to small-town living and begins a new romance, Mary Dell considers rekindling an old one, and the two find unlikely kinship. For as Mary Dell knows, the women of Too Much have a knack for untangling the knottiest problems when they work together. And sometimes the pattern for happiness is as simple and surprising as it is beautiful. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathleen Early.

Old Elm Lore: Garbo and Gaditana Deleterious (Spanish Edition) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 24min
For a Sevillian to have read the verses: ~ Go light to shine your day ~ and drink sun juice ~ rugose orange of gold couplets ~ minstrelsy where dwells a tuberose ~ and vague blade star in the cloud ~ a face of light of secret gesture ~ the fresh mouth of polished fruit ~ spanish pledge of the cypress ~ sleepy blow whimper in my ear ~ and I hear its blue width ~ the majos reefs ~ courting blonde riverbanks ~ of Andalusian soul ~, they stamped my Andalusian soul in my heart, and I asked with shout gypsy the opportunity to make the prologue of this book of poems that has stamped the essence of Andalusian in the most beautiful words within unbeatable metaphors. When I discover good horizons in Germany, I only return to my land to enjoy it in the company of everything that overwhelms me to take it far away. Someone who was unborn there and rings the most sensitive filaments of a place, he is the true bard that only requires the inspiration of the beautiful thing that there is, although very far, to create the verses that soon you will hear. That museum to heaven, my land, in perpetual romance with the sun, where the dream city of Rainer María Rilke exists, now has its bard. Because, as he says in his poems: ~ A portion of Seville is a flash of the sunshine ~ in the pupil of God ~ she was born in parchment of cante jondo ~ flax silent spinning ~ and made pale and tonal tunic ~ to cover the maja night ~ bell tolls with a silver thimble ~ jauntiness guitar ~ and the Cádiz woman turns her rociera skirt ~ from a high waistline lunar ~ and satin edging of white coral ~. If the place where you were born is created by similar verses, and more and you live very far away, you will deepen a feeling of sublimation and nostalgia. And although it is not yours, the place evoked with this magnificence, without taking off one foot, will travel and happy place will moreover be yours and your memory because one remembers in words more than images. The words instantly make us full ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Lopez London, Charly Ferrer, Gerardo Brauer - introduction.
