In a Rocket Made of Ice: Among the Children of Wat Opot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 726min
A beautifully told, inspiring true story of one woman's volunteer experiences at an orphanage in rural Cambodia - a book that embodies the belief that love, compassion, and generosity of spirit can overcome even the most fearsome of obstacles. Gail Gutradt was at a crossroads in her life when she learned of the Wat Opot Children's Community. Begun with just $50 in the pocket of Wayne Matthysse, a former Marine Corps medic in Vietnam, Wat Opot, a temple complex nestled among Cambodia's verdant rice paddies, was once a haunted scrubland that became a place of healing and respite where children with or orphaned by HIV/AIDS could live outside of fear or judgment, and find a new family - a place that Gutradt calls "a workshop for souls". Disarming, funny, deeply moving, In a Rocket Made of Ice gathers the stories of children saved and changed by this very special place, and of one woman's transformation in trying to help them. With wry perceptiveness and stunning humanity and humor, this courageous, surprising, and evocative memoir etches the people of Wat Opot forever on your heart. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Albert's Bad Day , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 10min
Albert the Numbat eats termites for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and he wants to try something new. So he and his friend, Bam the Bilby, set out to find some treats. But things don’t go according to plan. Find out what happens on Albert’s really bad day. One morning Bam the Bilby was out foraging for food when he came across his friend, Albert the Numbat. Numbats had lived in the scrubland for thousands of years, but now, because of foxes and wild cats, there were just a few left. They were small and stripy, with big noses and long, sticky tongues. They ate termites, which were like small, squishy white ants. Albert was usually busy all day tearing down termite mounds with his claws and feasting on the termites inside. But this morning he was just sitting quietly looking at the sky. 'What’s wrong with you, Albert?' asked Bam. 'Why aren’t you eating termites?' Albert shook his head. 'I don’t know what has happened to me. I woke up this morning and decided I never want to eat termites again. I’m over them. All my life I’ve had termites for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Termites for morning tea and termites for afternoon tea, termites, termites, termites. I used to love termites, but I want a change....' ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Conn.

The Profiler's Daughter: Sky Stone, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1169min
A grisly murder. A six-year-old eyewitness. A gun from the grave. The Profiler's Daughter is a psychologically haunting thriller that combines murder mystery, love triangle, and family intrigue in one satisfying page burner. Sky Stone was born into the wealth and privilege of Boston's oldest Brahmin family but chooses instead to follow in the footsteps of her deceased father, legendary FBI profiler Monk Stone. In the chilly morning hours before the Boston Marathon, when a beautiful university student is found strangled and mutilated, her body left at the base of Heartbreak Hill, Sky returns from self-imposed exile to investigate. Thirty-six hours into the investigation, Sky's world turns upside down when she is fired from the Homicide team. They pin the murder on an innocent man, forcing Sky into a life-threatening game of cat and mouse with the real killer. From the stately mansions of Beacon Hill to the flat scrubland of central Texas, Sky keeps the reader on a razor's edge, culminating in a no-holds-barred shoot-out. The Profiler's Daughter, the first in the Sky Stone Thriller series, introduces a moody, enigmatic, and brilliant female sleuth with the fierce bite of Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander. As adeptly written as Martin Cruz Smith's complex Arkady Renko novels, this thriller offers an intriguing plot, richly detailed characters, and an astonishing conclusion guaranteed to leave the listener begging for more. ungekürzt.
