    In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min
    Everything you've been taught about the World War II "internment camps" in America is wrong: They were not created primarily because of racism or wartime hysteria They did not target only those of Japanese descent They were not Nazi-style death camps In her latest investigative tour-de-force, New York Times best-selling author Michelle Malkin sets the historical record straight - and debunks radical ethnic alarmists who distort history to undermine common-sense, national security profiling. The need for this myth-shattering book is vital. President Bush's opponents have attacked every homeland defense policy as tantamount to the "racist" and "unjustified" World War II internment. Bush's own transportation secretary, Norm Mineta, continues to milk his childhood experience at a relocation camp as an excuse to ban profiling at airports. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Sula Moreno's job in public relations is to put a human face on the big corporate drug manufacturer she works for. But there's no humanity in the shocking plot she uncovers to hush up a lethal flaw in the company's newest product, Nexapra, an antidepressant prone to triggering suicide in users. And though marketing it could be tantamount to mass murder, the company's CEO won't hesitate to put profits before people. He also won't let a renegade employee's conscience stand in the way - a fact made chillingly clear to Sula when the only other person who can expose the truth is killed. But her boss isn't the only one playing for keeps; to keep Nexapra from flooding the market with a wave of death, Sula will risk everything...including her life. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Person Suit: An Anthology of Life, Loss, Love, Pain, and Mental Illness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 196min
    This collection of poetry, memoirs, and stories of short fiction presents to the listener such themes as depression, suicide, hopelessness, grief, loss, love, mental illness, and abuse both emotional and physical experienced by the writers or someone close to them. This collection serves to demonstrate that hiding behind shame or fear rather than sharing emotional pain as the authors in these works do is tantamount to putting on a mask; wearing a person suit. It is pretending. It is a state of existing but not truly living life to the fullest. The 11 authors featured in this collection have taken off their person suit, exposed their true selves to the world so that others may find their own voice and the courage to speak about mental illness and abuse of any kind. Edited by Kristi King-Morgan. Published by Dreaming Big Publications. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ruth Jones.

    Faerie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 648min
    Leonie of Bosewood is a halfling, caught between the Faerie and human worlds yet belonging in neither. She does her best to hide her magical abilities, mindful that being different in medieval England is tantamount to death. But her untamed spirit and wild beauty are like a beacon to the one man whose attention could expose her.... Philippe le Peregrine has devoted his life to the crown, his strength and courage winning him the king’s gratitude. In return he asks but one indulgence: never to be forced to take a wife. Because Philippe hides his own secret, a curse condemning him to celibate solitude, he faces life without the one woman whose allure he cannot ignore. And yet as unseen forces gather, preparing for a mystical battle for dominion over the human world, Leonie and Philippe realize that only together are they strong enough to conquer the engulfing evil. ungekürzt.

    Rake's Ransom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 532min
    Madcap tomboy. When the local magistrate jailed Jacelyn Trevaine's pet dog as a public nuisance, the country miss knew he meant to blackmail her into socializing with his nephew. High-spirited Jacelyn decided to free her dog by kidnapping the precious nephew, but unfortunately she abducted the wrong gentleman! Her captive was none other than handsome Lord Leigh Claibourne - returned war hero and rake extraordinaire. And four hours alone with the libertine Earl was tantamount to social ruin. Of course if she was already ruined, Jacelyn may as well give society something to be scandalized about. Hardened womanizer. Claibourne found country life tiresome and dull until he was kidnapped by an irrepressible chit whose candor was utterly disarming. Even rakes have their points of honor, however, and when the situation threatened to compromise Jacelyn, the cynical nobleman was forced to give the appearance of being betrothed to her. Claibourne never gave something for nothing. And in the case of the deliciously appealing Jacelyn, he'd hold her reputation hostage for a rake's ransom. ungekürzt. Language: English.
