In a Pirate's Debt: Falling in Love with a Pirate Was Never Part of Her Plan... , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 510min
Saving her can land him in a hangman's noose at low tide in Charles Town Harbor. Repaying her debt to him will consign her to a life worse than death. When confronted with a forced marriage, Travay Allston flees her stepfather's Jamaica plantation and dives into the sea. Death would be preferable to life with Sir Roger Poole, a drinking, gambling scoundrel whose advances make her skin crawl. Lucas sails the high seas as the dreaded Captain Bloodstone. He is on a quest to find his mother, a woman last seen clapped in irons by the Spanish. As his ship slips past Jamaica, he spies a young woman plunge into the sea. A prize of such beauty must be saved, and Lucas dives in to rescue her. The last thing Lucas needs is to get involved with Travay, a childhood friend who caused him nothing but trouble. Especially now that she's become a stubborn, alluring young woman. Lucas delivers Travay to her aunt in Charles Town and washes his hands of the affair. Or so he thinks. But when Sir Roger shows up demanding Travay marry him or face the wrath of Charles Town's newest council member, Lucas feels that familiar boyhood tug on his heart. Will this wanted pirate of the crown risk his life to save Travay a second time? Betrothed to a man she hates, will Travay repay her debt to a pirate by marrying Sir Roger in exchange for his promise to pardon Lucas? And if she does, will such a rascal keep his word? Falling in love with the pirate was never part of her plan....Inspirational content: Content of an inspirational/religious nature. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kerri Owens.

Fortune's Folly: Outer Bounds, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1442min
Fortune has a secret. Humanity, in its struggle to escape its own planet's demise, began sending colony ships from Earth almost 700 years ago in the desperate hope a handful would find someplace habitable for human life and be able to continue our species. Only one ship survived. It survived only because it found a vast swath of alien planets, all terraformed, all utterly abandoned. Alien megastructures cold and lifeless. Alien vehicles left in panicked lines, sealed from the inside, no corpses within. Empty space stations, with no one to run them but the dust. Resources everywhere, ripe for the taking. But Fortune is different. Of all the planets colonized by humans after the chaos of Migration, this single jungle-infested colony on the very edge of the known universe holds the key to the alien collapse...and to humanity's survival. Everywhere else advanced alien ruins mar every surface, every planetoid, every debris ring and asteroid, but of the creatures that made them there is no sign. On Fortune something survives.... Unfortunately for humanity, while time is running out, a rebellion is brewing, one that could save our species - or consign it to dust like the aliens that came before us. Now, 700 years after our first brush with extinction, the fate of the human race once again rests on the shoulders of a few: a seven-year-old sociopath and her combat-gifted big sister, a man who's dreamed of the future, an infamous smuggler, and a Coalition pilot sworn to destroy the rebel cause. This time, however, the stakes are higher. For lurking on Fortune is a secret. An epic postapocalyptic science fiction adventure that will make you hold your breath, cry, curse the powers that be, and in the end question what exactly it means to be human. ungekürzt.

Hold Fast to Dreams: A College Guidance Counselor, His Students, and the Vision of a Life Beyond Poverty , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 666min
Since Joshua Steckel began work at a Brooklyn public high school as its first-ever college guidance counselor, every one of the hundreds of graduates he has counseled has been accepted to college, many to top-flight schools with all expenses paid. But getting in is only one small part of the drama of his students’ stories. In a riveting work of narrative nonfiction - winner of a Studs and Ida Terkel award - Hold Fast to Dreams follows the lives of 10 of Josh’s students as they navigate the vast and obstacle-ridden landscape of college in America, where students for whom the stakes of education are highest find unequal access and inadequate support. Among the 10 unforgettable students we meet are: Mike, who writes his personal essays from a homeless shelter and is torn between his longing to get away to an idyllic college campus and his fear of leaving his mother and brothers in desperate circumstances; Santiago, a talented, motivated, and undocumented student, who battles bureaucracy and low expectations as he seeks a life outside the low-wage world of hard manual labor to which his immigration status threatens to consign him; and Ashley, who pursues her ambition to become a doctor with almost superhuman drive but then forges a path that challenges received wisdom about the value of an elite, liberal arts education. At a time when the idea of "college for all" is alternately embraced and challenged, this important book uncovers, in heartrending detail, the many ways the American education system fails in its promise as a ladder to opportunity. But it also provides hope in its portrayal of the extraordinary intelligence, resilience, and everyday heroics of the young people whose futures are too often lamented or ignored and whose voices, insights, and vision our colleges - and our country - desperately need. Hold Fast to Dreams will grab you on the first page and will stay with you for a long time. It should be required listening for ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kaleo Griffith.

#STRESS: Overcoming Life's Disappointments, Challenges, Obstacles, Changes, and the Odds and Getting Back Up with a Transition Plan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
Overcoming Life's Disappointments, Challenges, Obstacles, Changes, and the Odds and Getting Back Up with a Transition Plan What is the right way of approaching a problem? Each of us has different ideas. There are those who consign life's problems as belonging to the realm of the abstract, reasoning that we cannot truly prepare for them anyway - so be it as it may. There are those on the opposite end of the spectrum who seem to do everything possible to prepare for problems when they come, consuming an overwhelming amount of time and resources to make "bulletproof" plans that often fail. It is true that one can never really expect when a problem will come, and it is also true that there is no single answer to all problems we might face. After all, so many people are trying to solve things daily that if there was a single formula, it would already have been found. However, there is a structure. There is a certain road we can follow that cannot show us the answers but will empower us to find them. When problems arise and the odds seem insurmountable, these preparations will enable us to transition to a stronger position, allowing us to find the answer in record time. This book will take you through a journey along this road, tearing down what was thought to be common-sense ideas and constructing an entirely new reality - one that will help you to see the wide variety of options you've always had (and perhaps taken for granted), even when the strongest of storms hit. We will skip the feel-good mumbo jumbo that does not really add value - you will get only concrete and proven steps to turn your life around. Here is a preview of what you will learn How to improve your self-awareness and build up your inner control How to draw the line between the real problem and worthless worries How to turn a blind eye to all the distractions around you ungekürzt.
