Masterpiece in Progress , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 531min
They called his condition Phocomelia, probably the result of Thalidomide or some medication prescribed for his mother. Born with tiny scissored legs, only one arm, and that tiny stump, Jeff Steinberg spent his first years in a welfare center and then later in a Shriners' Hospital, where he learned to walk in braces, feed himself with a hook, and fight for survival. Later he went to live in a home for the severely disabled, where he would have spent the rest of his life. But God had other plans. The Master Artist was at work putting together the materials that He would use to create another masterpiece. Jeff Steinberg's story is about a masterpiece in progress - living proof of what a person can become when willing to be shaped by the hands of the Master Artist. Someone once described Jeff as having "a face like B.J. Thomas and a voice like Neil Diamond." He now travels around the country, singing about what God has done with his life and encouraging others to be "the best YOU - you can be". Masterpiece in Progress was written for people who are giving up on themselves, thinking their situation is too hard, that they don't have enough to work with, that life has dealt them a bad hand. Jeff Steinberg's story will inspire anyone to see that their lives, too, can become something beautiful - a masterpiece in progress! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeff Steinberg.

Mermaid: A Memoir of Resilience , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 765min
A gorgeously crafted memoir about resilience, family, and forging your own way, by a woman born without legs. At the age of three, Eileen Cronin first realized that only she did not have legs. Her boisterous Catholic family accepted her situation as "God's will", treating her no differently than her 10 siblings, as she "squiddled" through their 1960s Cincinnati home. But when starting school, even wearing prosthetics, Cronin had to brave bullying and embarrassing questions. Thanks to her older brother's coaching, she handled a classmate's playground taunts with a smack from her lunchbox. As a teen, thrilled when boys asked her out, she was confused about what sexuality meant for her. She felt most comfortable and happiest relaxing and skinny-dipping with her girlfriends, imagining herself "an elusive mermaid." The cause of her disability remained taboo, however, even as she looked toward the future and the possibility of her own family. In later years, as her mother battled mental illness and denied having taken the drug thalidomide - known to cause birth defects - Cronin felt apart from her family. After the death of a close brother, she turned to alcohol. Eventually, however, she found the strength to set out on her own, volunteering at hospitals and earning a PhD in clinical psychology. Reflecting with humor and grace on her youth, search for love, and quest for answers, Cronin spins a shimmering story of self-discovery and transformation. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Beaten but Unbowed: Waking from the Nightmare of Abuse , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 359min
Beaten, But Unbowed: Waking From The Nightmare Of Abuse, By Karen Braysher A courageous, highly listenable, and encouraging audiobook, that will give lots of hope to the many survivors of complex abuse. Lucy Huntington, Facilitator - Heal For Life Foundation UK It took 35 years for Karen to be diagnosed with severe, visual dyslexia, and 44 years to get a bipolar diagnosis. Karen was conceived as a replacement baby for her slightly older sister Lorraine, a thalidomide baby without arms or legs. This is a true account of Karen's journey through the toughest times of her life, triumphant in the end. And an unbreakable bond with her sister. What happens when a child is emotionally and physically abused over many years, repeatedly beaten and kicked in the head and chest on the kitchen floor by her father, while her mother watches on emotionless? What happens when a child is raised with undiagnosed dyslexia and bipolar, in an aggressive, unsafe home, when she is repeatedly failed by adults who are supposed to protect her? Karen Braysher is a survivor, not a victim. Now in her mid-50s, and a successful businesswoman and campaigner, Karen hopes her audiobook will help people with mental illness get a quicker diagnosis, providing a mirror to help people identify and seek help for their own experiences. She hopes her story will talk to those who have been abused as children, to women who are distressed about past abortions, and mentally ill people forbidden from adopting a child. In writing this memoir, Karen invites you to join her on a cathartic and painful personal journey, as she boldly shares her innermost thoughts and experiences. This is a true and inspiring story of incredible strength, sisterly love, warmth, and humor in the face of discrimination, abuse, homophobia, and misunderstanding. Karen was routinely told by her mother that she was born with the cord around her neck, and that it would have been better for everyone if she had died. ungekürzt. Language: English.
