    Their Eyes Were Watching God , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 404min
    Their Eyes Were Watching God, an American classic, is the luminous and haunting novel about Janie Crawford, a Southern Black woman in the 1930s, whose journey from a free-spirited girl to a woman of independence and substance has inspired writers and readers for close to 70 years. This poetic, graceful love story, rooted in Black folk traditions and steeped in mythic realism, celebrates boldly and brilliantly African-American culture and heritage. And in a powerful, mesmerizing narrative, it pays quiet tribute to a Black woman who, though constricted by the times, still demanded to be heard. Originally published in 1937 and long out of print, the book was reissued in 1975 and nearly three decades later Their Eyes Were Watching God is considered a seminal novel in American fiction. ungekürzt.

    The Shore of Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1292min
    Women rule the world in this suspenseful love story set in a post-nuclear future. Having expelled men from their vast walled cities to a lower-class wilderness, the women in this futuristic universe dictate policy and chart the future through control of scientific and technological advances. Among their laws are the rules for reproductive engagement, an act now viewed as a means of procreation rather than an act of love. In this rigidly defined environment, a chance meeting between a woman exiled from the female world and a wilderness man triggers a series of feelings, actions, and events that ultimately threaten the fabric of the women's constricted society. Trying to evade the ever-threatening female forces and the savage wilderness men, the two lovers struggle to find a safe haven and reconcile the teachings of their upbringings with their newly awakened feelings. ungekürzt.

    A Debt of Gratitude , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min, (USK 18)
    Escaping from a constricted life and an unhappy marriage, Neris slips into the woods whenever she can on the pretext of gathering herbs. These stolen moments are her sole comfort until the day she finds a wounded orc in the woods. Unable to stand by and watch another suffer, Neris tends him, bringing him food and medicine, protecting him until he can tend himself. The orc allows the attention because he knows Neris better than she knows herself - he can scent her, knows that she smells ripe and wanton, that his presence fires her lust. He can smell her need, her arousal, but is too weak to do anything about it. At first. When he is strong enough, he intends to take care of her brutal husband, but first, he needs to take care of her. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tanya Stevens.

    The Portrait of a Lady , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1291min
    The Portrait of a Lady is the most stunning achievement of Henry James' early period - in the 1860s and '70s, when he was transforming himself from a talented young American into a resident of Europe, a citizen of the world, and one of the greatest novelists of modern times. A kind of delight at the success of this transformation informs this masterpiece. When Isabel Archer, a young American woman with looks, wit, and imagination, arrives in Europe, she sees the world as "a place of brightness, of free expression, of irresistible action". She turns aside from suitors who offer her their wealth and devotion to follow her own path. But that way leads to disillusionment and a future as constricted as "a dark narrow alley with a dead wall at the end". In one of the most moving conclusions in modern fiction, Isabel makes her final choice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Wanda McCaddon.

    Finding Me: A Woman's Theology of Self Identification , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 260min
    Finding Me: A Woman's Theology of Self-Identification was written in partial fulfillment for my Master of Sacred Theology Degree from Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. The premise for this book is to take a specific look at women of faith who have had the eyes of their understanding opened as they read, reflected, and reassessed how they understand the Bible along with how they understand themselves in God's eyes. I identify some of the theological challenges that wrestling women are faced with, address some of the Christological limitations that they deal with, and demystify some of the anthropological barriers that they are constricted with. This book will help women as well as men understand the danger in women disconnecting internally to engage externally. Let this book bring wholeness and healing to what it means to live, move, and have your being in the body of a woman. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Natalie Gray.

Business changes were already occurring in sales, but are now accelerated. In a world of corporate travel restrictions, global concerns about meetings and the always diminishing availability of time, face-to-face selling has been constricted like never before. The genie is out of the bottle and it is not going back. Selling at distance is a must have capability.

    Tess of the D'urbervilles , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1025min
    Tess of the d'Urbervilles is the 19th century novel lately thought to be one of the inspirations of E .L.James' Fifty Shades of Grey. It depicts the life of an impressionable, naive, somewhat educated young woman, who yearns to be free to live her own life, but finds herself constricted by the bonds of the sexual, religious and socially hypocritical customs that have surrounded her from birth. Considered a Victorian Realist, Thomas Hardy criticized social constraints on those living in the 19th and early 20th century through most of his novels. He was also a renowned poet and many of his works were set to music by notable English composers. He was an Anglican who questioned traditional Christian views and had difficulty reconciling the 'horrors of pain' with the so called existence of a loving God. He also showed in his writings a fascination with the supernatural even as he held a strong emotional attachment to the Christian liturgy and rituals which were a major influence in his childhood. The narrator, Jennifer M. Dixon, is a board-certified Music Therapist and Licensed Counselor, veteran of Michigan Opera, Piccolo Opera and Community Theater. ungekürzt. Language: English.
