A Simple Soul , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min
A Simple Soul is the perfect Gustave Flaubert short story: a tale told in spare, straightforward language full of richly observed details. The "soul" is Felicite, the exemplary servant of the austere Madame Aubin. Orphaned and illiterate, Felicite devotes her life to her mistress and Madame's two children. Her kindheartedness extends to her nephew and a local beggar, but it is seldom reciprocated. Over the years, Felicite suffers many losses but is greatly comforted by the gift of a parrot, Loulou, who becomes her dearest companion. Deeply religious and burdened by the maladies of old age, she eventually confuses the long-dead Loulou with her muddled conception of the Holy Ghost. This finely wrought character study of the life of a selfless innocent is a deserved classic. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Hancock.

The Compassion Code: How to Say the Right Thing When the Wrong Thing Happens , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 256min
What if you knew that compassion was the antidote to healing our hurt, hate-filled world? Would you know how to use it in every circumstance, with family, friends, and strangers alike? Would you be open to doing so, even when it involved acts that may seem unforgivable? Would you be willing to be gentle and sympathetic with yourself? If you're like many people, your heart desires to be compassionate, yet your head may simply not possess the blueprint for saying those right words at the right time, or for seeing things from a compassionate perspective rather than a judgmental one. After all, we're a product of our upbringing and societal norms, and we're not necessarily taught precisely what living compassionately looks like. The Compassion Code will completely change that. This accessible, wisdom-filled book is the result, addressing topics such as: Knowing what to say - and not to say - when someone is grieving Understanding when to talk and when to simply listen Relating kindly to ourselves Recognizing that everyone has a story Dealing with compassion fatigue Acknowledging instead of "fixing" others with our responses Practicing compassion in daily life with self, other adults, children, and teens The Compassion Code awakens the kindheartedness that resides in all of us, urging it to stand strong as we navigate life events that can cause pain, misunderstandings, fear, hatred, and even war. With heartfelt, relatable stories, compassion coaching tips, and abundant loving action steps - the book is an invaluable guide for how to shift our mindset, diminish hurtful viewpoints, and embrace the humanity in each of us. ungekürzt.

Foster Spirit: Aging Out Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 167min
Before her death, Mama Jean, as she was fondly known by the foster children she took in, set in motion the plans for the Hertzel-Mendall Family Farm, a community established to offer homes to families that fostered children. The "Farm" offers therapeutic, recreational and many other services all in one place to achieve the best outcomes for children in the foster care system. "Mama" Jean Hertzel fostered teenagers who had run out of options. Teens who were considered unadoptable mostly due to their ages, but sometimes for other reasons. She gave them a chance when they were out of chances. Through the years, six of those young people made it all the way through her innovative program, and this group tight as any biological family, were named in her will as the team to assume not only her wealth, but the weight of caring for the oversight of the Farm. Each of them have overcome big odds, and each book in this series allows us to be part of their world for a little while. Hadley is an eternal optimist, despite her pint-sized stature. She is loved and adored by everyone, full of joy and kindheartedness. Until the day, Logan Reems takes it upon himself to become her designated, albeit it reluctant knight in shining armor and rescue her from the mud. She has never come up against anyone so haughty and mean spirited. Her determination to avoid contact with him is derailed when she finds out his two boys will be in her kindergarten class. Logan Reems is pleased that his new position as Operations Manager for The Farm will not only offer his family the stability of a permanent home, but a full range of therapeutic options for his son, Parker. He gets along with all the owners of the farm, until the day he meets Hadley, the youngest of the six foster kids Mama Jean raised. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph B. Kearns.
