    After losing his job, Lee Kravitz, a workaholic in his mid-50s, took stock of his life and realized just how disconnected he had become from the people who mattered most to him. He committed an entire year to reconnecting with them and making amends.Kravitz takes listeners on 10 transformational journeys, among them repaying a 30-year-old debt, making a long-overdue condolence call, finding an abandoned relative, and fulfilling a forgotten promise. Along the way, we meet a cast of wonderful characters and travel the globe---to a refugee camp in Kenya, a monastery in California, the desert of southern Iran, a Little League game in upstate New York, and a bar in Kravitz's native Cleveland. In each instance, the act of reaching out opens new paths for both personal and spiritual growth.All of us have unfinished business - the things we should have done but just let slip. Kravitz's story reveals that the things we've avoided are exactly those that have the power to transform, enrich, enlarge, and even complete us. The lesson of the book is one that is applicable to us all: Be mindful of what is most important, and act on it. The rewards will be immediate and lasting. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    34 Months: Attitude and Survival as a Korean POW , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 283min
    For 34 months, while wounded and struggling to survive in Korean War prison camps, Felix Ferranto recited the Lord's Prayer daily and dreamed of being free and with his family.  Proper "attitude" and having learned enough of the Chinese language and culture during his time with the American Legation Guard in Peiping, China would be critical for his survival. A radio relay platoon commander in the 1st Marine Division, Felix was wounded at the time of his capture by Chinese forces in November, 1950. During the time he was in captivity, he kept meticulous notes of the other prisoners he met. When one died, he put a rectangle around his name, hiding the papers from his captors in a shaving cream canister that he had emptied.   Meanwhile, his family in Oceanside, California, clung to its only thread of hope: a letter his wife received shortly after his capture. The letter was snuck out of the prison camp by a Chinese doctor. It was the doctor's way of repaying Felix for saving his life during an attack by Allied aircraft.   In an attempt to electrocute a North Korean major, Felix rigged a radio. The effort was unsuccessful, leading to prolonged solitary confinement.   His "attitude," while in the depth of unimaginable, life or death circumstances is what kept him alive. ungekürzt.

    Savor the Moment: The Bride Quartet, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 559min
    Number-one New York Times best-selling author Nora Roberts cordially invites you to meet childhood friends Parker, Emma, Laurel, and Mac — the founders of Vows, one of Connecticut’s premier wedding planning companies. Laurel McBane has always relied on her friends for support, especially when her dream of attending culinary school was almost ruined by her parents’ financial problems. Now Laurel is repaying the kindness of her friends by creating extravagantly luscious tiers of cakes and other confectionary delights that add the perfect touch to their clients’ weddings. As for romance, Laurel believes in it — in theory. But she’s too low-key to appreciate all the luxuries that other women seem to long for. What she does appreciate is a strong, intelligent man, a man just like Parker’s older brother, Delaney Brown, on whom Laurel has had a mega-crush since childhood. But some infatuations last longer than others, and Laurel is convinced that the Ivy League lawyer is still out of her reach. Plus, Del is too protective of Laurel to ever cross the line with her, or so she thinks. When Laurel’s quicksilver moods get the better of her — leading to an angry, hot, altogether mind-blowing kiss with Del — she’ll have to quiet the doubts in her mind to turn a moment of passion into forever…. ungekürzt.

    Adam Exitus: Book One: Adam X Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 266min
    “Why did they kidnap me? I'm not rich. I don't have a lot of family to extort. I have certainly not been a police officer long enough to make any enemies. But instead of waking to the incessant ringing of my alarm clock back in my small city apartment, I awoke in the dirt. In the jungle. Naked. What is happening? Where are their demands?" "Then I found her; beautiful and graceful, without a mark to show for her life trapped here. Wherever here is. How did she survive in this jungle? In fact, how is she keeping me alive? 14 days now, she has hunted, caught, cooked and provided without ever saying a word. She has listened to everything I've said, but never responds. Is she in on it? Am I in some weird experiment, or is it all a dream? But it can't be a dream, because I keep having terrible nightmares. About bright lights, and pain, and figures at my door their voices in my head. Of jumping off cliffs, being eaten by monsters and hanging myself. How can you have such vivid nightmares inside a dream?" "Then there is the X, tattooed on my head. Who kidnaps someone and then tattoos an X on their forehead? What's it all mean? I've had enough! Tomorrow I'm taking control and repaying my debt to this girl. Tomorrow I escape.”  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Thomson.
