The Man Behind the Curtain: A Memoir (eBook, ePUB)
Jessica Renee was 11 years old when her stepfather began routinely raping and sexually assaulting her. Only when she was 15 and her boyfriend asked the right questions did the truth come to light-a terrible truth that her mother chose not to believe. Backed by a church community that believed a woman's duty was to support her husband above all else, Jessica's mother and countless other family and friends turned against her, labeling her a sinner even as her rapist was convicted. Throughout the long road to that conviction, Jessica often felt she didn't have a voice, as she was continually questioned, criticized, and cast aside. She is ready to make her voice heard now and provide a guiding light for those who are still searching for hope. In calling attention to sexual abuse happening at home, by a family member the victim loved and trusted, Jessica's story is a powerful addition to the Me Too movement and a rallying cry for victims and allies to rise from the ashes of silence.- Shop: buecher

Presumed Dead: A Dylan Scott Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 525min
Dylan Scott has problems. Dismissed in disgrace from the police force for assaulting a suspect, he has no job, his wife has thrown him out and - worse luck - his mother has moved in. So when Holly Champion begs him to investigate the disappearance of her mother 13 years ago, he can’t say no - even though it means taking up residence in the dreary Lancashire town of Dawson’s Clough for the duration. Although the local police still believe Anita Champion took off for a better life, Dylan’s inquiries turn up plenty of potential suspects: the drug-dealing, muscle-bound bouncer at the club where Anita was last seen; the missing woman’s four girlfriends, out for revenge; the local landowner with rumored mob connections - the list goes on. But no one is telling Dylan all they know - and he soon finds that one sleepy Northern town can keep a lot of secrets. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Victor Villar-Hauser.

Meet Phil Snyder: new father, nursing assistant at a cutting-edge biotech facility on Staten Island, and all-around decent guy. Trouble is, his life is falling apart. His wife has betrayed him, his job involves experimental surgeries with strange side effects, and his father is hiding early onset dementia.

But when Phil wakes up from a blackout drunk and is confronted with photos that seem to show him assaulting an unknown woman, even superpowers won't help him. Try as he might, Phil can't remember that night, and so, haunted by the need to know, he mind reads his way through the lab techs at work, adoring fans at Toy Polloi, and anyone else who gets in his way, in an attempt to determine whether he's capable of such violence.

Is There Apple Juice in My Wine?: Thirty-Eight Laws That Affect the Wine You Drink , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 299min
Is there apple juice in my wine? My wine bottle says both “no sulfites added”, and “contains sulfites” - both statements can’t be right, can they? And, why is it perfectly legal to ship wine to Colorado - but a felony (more serious than physically assaulting someone) to ship wine to Kentucky? And, how did it happen that the United States shares the highest legal minimum drinking age along with Equatorial Guinea and Sri Lanka? The laws in the United States impact every aspect of enjoying and consuming wine. This book, written for wine lovers, not lawyers or bureaucrats, tells the facts behind 38 laws that affect the wine you drink. The popular wine writers behind the 10kbottles blog, Heather and Jordan Lipp, provide an entertaining, humorous, and illuminating journey through the morass of bizarre laws on all aspects of wine. So, open up a bottle of what you think is 100% Chardonnay (though 25% of it likely contains some cheap grape you’ve never heard of), and listen in. ungekürzt. Language: English.
