Lincoln's Greatest Journey: Sixteen Days That Changed a Presidency, March 24-April 8, 1865 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 658min
March 1865: The United States was at a crossroads, and, truth be told, Abraham Lincoln was a sick man. "I am very unwell," he confided to a close acquaintance. A vast and terrible civil war was winding down, leaving momentous questions for a war-weary president to address. A timely invitation from General Ulysses S. Grant provided the impetus for an escape to City Point, Virginia, a journey from which Abraham Lincoln drew much more than he ever expected. Lincoln's Greatest Journey: Sixteen Days That Changed a Presidency, March 24-April 8, 1865 offers the first comprehensive account of a momentous time. Lincoln traveled to City Point, Virginia, in late March 1865 to escape the constant interruptions in the nation's capital that were carrying off a portion of his "vitality" and to make his personal amends for having presided over the most destructive war in American history in order to save the nation. Lincoln returned to Washington 16 days later with a renewed sense of purpose, urgency, and direction that would fundamentally shape his second-term agenda. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Nebuly Coat , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 821min
A chilling tale of suspense with a puzzling mystery at the heart of the story. Architect Edward Westray is sent by his firm to restore Cullerne Minster. The young man believes that more work is needed to secure the bell tower, but his warnings go unheeded. A fellow lodger, the church organist Sharnall, is investigating the belief of the late Martin Joliffe, the landlady's brother, that he, Joliffe, was the rightful heir to the Blandamer title and estates. Sharnall dies in circumstances which he had predicted and confided to Westray, and the architect continues this search into the nobleman's history - much to his Lordship's displeasure. With little experience of life beyond his profession, the young man discovers the truth and finds himself on a knife-edge of self-doubt in which his senses of honour and tradition are at odds with one another. Life is no longer black or white, but grey as the crumbling stone of the minster, which, in a thrilling finale, threatens to come crashing down upon him. ungekürzt. Language: English.

74 Seaside Avenue: Cedar Cove, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 699min
Olivia Lockhart-Griffin Cedar Cove, Washington Dear Listener, Do you remember Teri Miller? She works at Get Nailed, the beauty salon here in town. Well, Teri got married a little while ago - to Bobby Polgar, the famous chess champion. They've moved into a beautiful house, 74 Seaside Avenue, which has a spectacular view of Puget Sound. Teri's my hairdresser, and she confided that something seems to be worrying Bobby. When she asked him about it, he told her he was "protecting his queen," and she got the oddest feeling that he wasn't talking about chess, but about her. Rachel Pendergast also works at Get Nailed, and I've heard that she has two men seriously interested in her. I also wanted to tell you that Linnette McAfee, who's Roy and Corrie's daughter, recently left town because her love life fell apart. We all know about that kind of trouble. Oh, by the way, Teri says we should come in soon for a manicure and a chat…. Olivia ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sandra Burr.

Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 40min
Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce available at Amazon, contains my gourmet applesauce recipes. These are not ordinary applesauces. These are Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce, Chocolate Toffee Applesauce, Eggnog Applesauce, Peppermint Applesauce, Peanut Butter Applesauce, and many more. Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce takes gourmet applesauce up an even further notch from my other gourmet applesauce flavors. I get various reactions when I tell people about my Gourmet Applesauces. These range from "You can't do that!", "So big deal", "Yes that sounds good", to "That sounds really good!" I've made Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce twice now. The first time it turned out - "That sounds really good! Drool city!" The second time was more like - "Yes that sounds good." It was ok, but nothing to write home about. That's good, because now I can tell you what I did right the first time and what I didn't do so right the second time. Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce is not just a collection of recipes. There are also stories, and information on how to choose the correct apples for your sauce. Also included is an Applesauce Flavors possibilities list. A friend of mine confided that he probably wouldn't have listened to it if it had been just recipes. Both he and my neighbor said they listened right through it from beginning to end. ungekürzt.

The Awakening of Friendship , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 156min
The nine awakenings in The Awakening of Friendship offer a calling for every human being to look within their psyche, uncover the human principles of friendship, and embrace the universal tapestry of mankind. We are challenged to rebuild a formula for a family of friends, flow with the creative process, and engage with the human experience of friendship. Some of these awakenings which she became aware of during healing sessions with clients are courage (the ability to fearlessly speak the truth in friendship), presence of listening (honoring the spoken word of a friend), compassion (the heart is willing to understand the commonality of mankind), and the wisdom of patience (allowing the developmental steps in friendship to unfold like the petals of a blossoming flower). Carol Olivia Adams, inspirational writer, radio host, and intuitive counselor has coached numerous clients who have confided their baffling confusions, fears, deep-rooted insecurities and precious hopes. Carol Olivia has learned that a good intuitive counselor is a kind, sympathetic friend, more healing than any prescribed medication. The Awakening of Friendship will challenge you to reflect on the human principles of friendship, search within your heart, and open yourself up to the world of human beings. ungekürzt.

Truly, Madly (eBook, ePUB)
A sweeping and heartbreaking Hollywood biography about the passionate, turbulent marriage of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. In 1934, a friend brought fledgling actress Vivien Leigh to see Theatre Royal, where she would first lay eyes on Laurence Olivier in his brilliant performance as Anthony Cavendish. That night, she confided to a friend, he was the man she was going to marry. There was just one problem: she was already married-and so was he. TRULY, MADLY is the biography of a marriage, a love affair that still captivates millions, even decades after both actors' deaths. Vivien and Larry were two of the first truly global celebrities - their fame fueled by the explosive growth of tabloids and television, which helped and hurt them in equal measure. They seemed to have it all and yet, in their own minds, they were doomed, blighted by her long-undiagnosed mental-illness, which transformed their relationship from the stuff of dreams into a living nightmare. Through new research, including exclusive access to previously unpublished correspondence and interviews with their friends and family, author Stephen Galloway takes readers on a bewitching journey. He brilliantly studies their tempestuous liaison, one that took place against the backdrop of two world wars, the Golden Age of Hollywood and the upheavals of the 1960s - as they struggled with love, loss and the ultimate agony of their parting.- Shop: buecher
