Mean Streak , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 711min
From number one New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown comes a heart-pounding story of survival, that takes the age-old question, "Does the end justify the means?" and turns it on its head. Dr. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina. By the time her husband Jeff, miffed over a recent argument, reports her missing, the trail has grown cold. Literally. Fog and ice encapsulate the mountainous wilderness and paralyze the search for her. While police suspect Jeff of "instant divorce," Emory, suffering from an unexplained head injury, regains consciousness and finds herself the captive of a man whose violent past is so dark that he won't even tell her his name. She's determined to escape him, and willing to take any risks necessary to survive. Unexpectedly, however, the two have a dangerous encounter with people who adhere to a code of justice all their own. At the center of the dispute is a desperate young woman whom Emory can't turn her back on, even if it means breaking the law. Wrong becomes right at the hands of the man who strikes fear, but also sparks passion. As her husband's deception is revealed, and the FBI closes in on her captor, Emory begins to wonder if the man with no name is, in fact, her rescuer from those who wish her dead - and from heartbreak. Combining the nail-biting suspense and potent storytelling that has made Sandra Brown one of the world's best loved authors, Mean Streak is a wildly compelling novel about love, deceit, and the choices we must make in order to survive. ungekürzt.

Decide: There's Usually a Choice. It's Usually Yours. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
Don't read the next line.You did it.Well, you didn't do what I asked, you decided to do what you wanted.To see what was going to happen on the next line.We make thousands of decisions every single day.What if had more control over themWhat if we could put them to better use?To strengthen our decision-making muscle, make bigger choices more easily, and, gulp, even have fun at it?Do you know that feeling? It's...The feeling when it clicks.There's a point in decision making, probably quite a bit like reaching the summit of a mountain on a bicycle, when you feel relief. If the word relief doesn't quite do it for you, let's try:releasesatisfactionalleviationdeliverancehappinessEverything from letting go to joy. There are standard lines we hear when you feel relief. Any of these strike a chord?I'm so glad that's overI can't believe that was all there was to itWhew. I never thought I'd get thereI did it. I actually did it.These are statements of relief. This is what happens when you decide.This is an excerpt from a chapter of Bradley Charbonneau's book:"People ask all the time, "But how do I know when I've made the right decision?" Usually, my answer is "You'll just know." or maybe "You'll feel it." But the word relief is easier to swallow, to comprehend, to really feel. People know the feeling of relief. You just avoided a car wreck. You finally got that project done by the deadline. Your spouse got the numbers back from the doctor.But relief can be achieved, reached, influenced.It doesn't only have to be something we receive or react to. It can be something we can proactively make happen. Through deciding, through making a decision, we can build it to the point where we feel relief because we made that decision.

Repossible: Who Will You Be Next? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min
Before 2012, I had come to the conclusion that the life I had dreamt of living just wouldn’t happen.I was sad about it but I thought, “I guess that’s just the way it is”.Well, sad is a tiny little word.Let me start off this audiobook real.I was depressed, without hope or energy, full of regret, anger, and yes, sadness.I had imagined my life as being something that I was so far from I couldn’t see it happening anytime soon and probably not ever.I was doing work I hated in a city I no longer loved and I was empty of desire and full of despair.You know those moments in the movies, usually accompanied by dramatic music, when lightning strikes or the guy hangs on to the cliff by his pinky toe and then miraculously saves himself (and probably the rest of the planet) and goes on to cure cancer and star in the remake of The Shawshank Redemption?Yeah, well, it didn’t happen like that for me.For me, it was walking down Larkin Street in San Francisco on the way to a dumpy Burmese place when I “came out of the closet” to one of my closest friends and said I wanted to be a writer.But that I wasn’t. I had given up.The stars aren’t aligned!The universe must not really have my back!It’s a conspiracy!I didn’t yet know about the big verbs. I didn’t know how to ask, I didn’t dare decide to create. I wouldn’t have known how to meditate if it sparked me in the face. The only thing I surrendered to was my sad fate. Play was for those kids on the swings and the closest I got to elevate was in the elevator. I'm still walking the path.I turn my head.I see you.This is me reaching out my hand to you. This is Repossible.Here we go. I’m rooting for you. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bradley Charbonneau. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/202331/bk_acx0_202331_sample.mp3.

The Girl with No Shadow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 889min
Be careful what you wish for... Hailed as an "irresistible confection" (Entertainment Weekly), "as sweet, rich and utterly satisfying as a fine truffle" (Wall Street Journal), and "an amazement of riches" (New York Times), Chocolat won the hearts of readers and critics everywhere. At last, Joanne Harris returns with The Girl with No Shadow, an exquisite treat that continues the story that began in her international best seller. Since she was a little girl, the wind has dictated every move Vianne Rocher has made, buffeting her from place to place, from the small French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes to the crowded streets of Paris. Cloaked in a new identity, that of widow Yanne Charbonneau, she opens a chocolaterie on a small Montmartre street, determined to still the wind at last and keep her daughters, Anouk and the baby, Rosette, safe. Her new home above the chocolate shop offers calm and quiet: no red sachets hang by the door; no sparks of magic fill the air; no Indian skirts with bells hang in her closet. Conformity brings with it anonymity - and peace. There is even Thierry, the stolid businessman who wants to take care of Yanne and the children. On the cusp of adolescence, an increasingly rebellious and restless Anouk does not understand. But soon the weathervane turns... and into their lives blows the charming and enigmatic Zozie de l'Alba. And everything begins to change. Zozie offers the brightness Yanne's life needs. Anouk, too, is dazzled by this vivacious woman with the lollipop-red shoes who seems to understand her better than anyone - especially her mother. Yet this friendship is not what it seems. Ruthless, devious, and seductive, Zozie has plans that will shake their world to pieces. And with everything she loves at stake, Yanne must face a difficult choice: run, as she has done so many times before, or stand and confront this most dangerous enemy. ungekürzt. Language: English.

John Colter: The Life and Legacy of America’s First Mountain Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 84min
The time of the American mountain man was not to reach its peak until the mid-19th century, but the man who served as the prototype for the cultural genre hailed from an earlier age in which the new United States had scarcely established its most basic structural tenets. A member of the original Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery commissioned by Thomas Jefferson, John Colter’s multiple journeys to the northwest country of present-day Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho were first-time events in the development of the continent. With Lewis and Clark, Colter was met with every challenge the North American wilderness had to offer, including “constant rain and plaguing insects”, a range of cultures never before explored, an extreme mountain climate at unfamiliar elevations, and teeming wildlife boasting its share of predators. Added to Colter’s skills as a woodsman was a developing talent for communicating with previously unknown indigenous societies. He was undoubtedly assisted in this essential function by the presence of Sacajawea, a Lehmhi Shoshoni woman of the Agaidika, or Salmon-Eaters. She was married to the French translator Toussaint Charbonneau in a non-consensual contract, purchased with a second woman to serve as a working wife. Based on the experience gained from the Lewis and Clark expedition, Colter became a valued figure in future treks as part of the international trade for “plews”, the frontier word for beaver pelts. As one of the best hunters and trackers from the expedition, he was to be sent out on missions covering vast distances in his subsequent returns to the northwest. Although the precise routes of his solo journeys are difficult to confirm, Colter was likely the first explorer to witness the thermal marvels of the Yellowstone region and the Grand Tetons towering above present-day Jackson Hole. His accounts of the boiling geysers and bubbling pools of the northern Rockies remained the butt of frontier jokes until discovered by the nex ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

Spark: Write a Short Book with Your Kids, Ignite Their Creativity, and Change Your Relationship Forever: Repossible, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 165min
When I sat down with my then-8-year old on the red chair in early March of 2014, having just read a really bad children's book and said, "Wow, that book was pretty bad". I then immediately followed up with, "We can do better than that". My son looked at me like I was crazy (I was) and challenged me to follow through on my dare.I did.Within a month, we had a book on Amazon.Now we can boast almost all of the list below:We have sold 1,000,000+ books in 89 countries and 7 languages.We sometimes had to resort to bribery, coercion, and ice cream to get a chapter done.Just on royalties alone, Li is eyeing a Maserati for his 16th birthday.We created something from nothing and no one can ever take that away.We get regular calls from Hollywood producers about making the movie versions.We broke all of Audible's rules when we recorded the audiobook version - and got rejected.Both boys have transformed into perfect angels who study Mandarin in their free time after violin lessons and before their volunteer work for global literacy.I have a audio proof of my 10-year old narrating Chapter 8 that I can use at his wedding to embarrass him beyond his wildest nightmares and I can bring that up whenever I like to remind my boys that we are a family who shares experiences (and it's good for blackmail).We did it all right.We did it all wrong.We did it. Period.This audiobook is proof that we can create something from nothing together with our kids. What you're about to embark on is a journey that no one can take away from you. We're going to create a time capsule you'll be able to cherish until your 89-year-old neighbor finally tells you she's deaf and hasn't heard a word about it.This audiobook is going to help you create a bond with your kids.For the record:We're not shooting for stardom (at least, not bey ungekürzt.
