    Leota's Garden , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1087min
    Once Leota's garden was a place of beauty - where flowers bloomed and hope thrived. It was her refuge from the deep wounds inflicted by a devastating war, her sanctuary where she knelt before a loving God and prayed for the children who couldn't understand her silent sacrifices. At 83, Leota is alone; her beloved garden is in ruins. All her efforts to reconcile with her adult children have been fruitless. She voices her despair to a loving Father, her only friend. And God brings a wind of change through unlikely means: one, a college student who thinks he has all the answers; the other, the granddaughter Leota never hoped to know. But can the devastation wrought by keeping painful family secrets be repaired before she runs out of time? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Melissa Hurst.

    The Late Show: A Semiwild but Practical Survival Plan for Women Over 50, Hörbuch, Digital, 355min
    Part advice manual and part memoir, The Late Show is truly an hysterical yet insightful guide to growing old, presented in candid, unyielding and often comedic form by Helen Gurley Brown. Ms. Brown selects topics that range from emotional security, marriage, money, sex, beauty, exercise, health, and work and explains her philosophy and shares personal experiences and as do several of her friends, including Diane von Furstenberg, Raquel Welch and Ali McGraw.

    What first prompted prehistoric man, sheltering in the shadows of deep caves, to call upon the realm of the spirits?And why has belief thrived ever since, leading us to invent heaven and hell, sin and redemption, and above all, gods?Religion reflects our deepest hopes and fears; whether you are a believer or, like Matthew Kneale, a non-believer who admires mankind's capacity to create and to imagine, it has shaped our world. And as our dreams and nightmares have changed over the millennia, so have our beliefs - from shamans to Aztec priests, from Buddhists to Christians: the gods we created have evolved with us. Belief is humanity's most epic invention. It has always been our closest companion and greatest consolation. To understand it is to better understand ourselves. ungekürzt. Language: English.
