Plain & Simple: An Amish Wedding , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
Book three in the Plain & Simple series takes place around the wedding of Ruth and Seth. However, you do not need to have listened to the prior Plain & Simple audiobooks to enjoy this story. Ruth and Seth are finally getting married. As they make their preparations, David, Ruth's older brother, is coming to the realization that he is ready to settle down himself. He has been putting off any thought of marriage for a long time. It's not that there isn't anyone eligible, but that he's had his eye on one sweet girl, Esther, but never found the courage to ask her to go courting. When Ruth mentions that Esther's family is thinking about moving to another community in another state, he realizes that he can't let her go without letting her know how he feels about her. He asks her for a buggy ride and things take off from there. Esther will eventually have to choose between her family and the love she has for David, which is only just beginning to bloom. With Ruth and Seth starting their family life together as husband and wife, will David have the same happy ending? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amanda Terman.

River-Song's father, Chief Sits-and-Thinks, is growing old and sick, but he trusts in her to lead their people as they face changes. Her best friend has become her rival as they compete to marry the big chief's son. But as River-Song proves herself to him, she begins to see he isn't the man she thought. Then she must use her gift of words when a wandering band of braves seek a new home with them. They speak her mother's language so she can understand them. River-Song feels pulled to their leader but confused about her place in the tribe. Can this young girl hold her tribe together as the new braves join them, and again when hostile warriors attack their valley? Come visit the River People in the Pacific Northwest before fur traders or missionaries arrived. River-Song lives in a valley of meandering streams that give them salmon and trout to eat. Oak trees abound in the valley, and a forest of cedar and fir surround them, making a canopy and giving them planks for their long houses, canoes, and totem poles.

Plain & Simple: An Amish Love Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
Seth is a handsome man and he knows it. Whilst he knows pride is a sin, it makes him feel good to be able to tip his hat and see a sparkle in almost any girl's eye. The time is coming soon for him to marry and he knows he could have the pick of anyone in his community, although something has stopped him from entering into any long lasting courtships. The only thing that mars his happy life is his concern over his mother, who struggles with constant pain. Ruth has never been a beautiful girl. Short, petite and plain, she drifts into the background at almost any gathering, her sisters taking the spotlight. Resigning herself to a life caring for her elderly parents, she wonders if anyone will ever notice her. All she wants is someone to share her life with, who sees her loving and gentle spirit and finds that to be the most attractive thing of all. One day, Ruth's brother asks her to check on Seth's mother every day, so that Seth doesn't have to travel home from work. In doing so, Ruth finds a kindred spirit in the woman and they soon become close friends. Will his mother be able to push Ruth and Seth together? Or will her doubts about God's plan for her life keep them apart? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Amanda Terman.

The Rag Race: How Jews Sewed Their Way to Success in America and the British Empire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 635min
Winner, 2016 Best First Book Prize from the Immigration and Ethnic History Society Finalist, 2016 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature Winner, 2015 Book Prize from the Southern Jewish Historical Society Finalist, 2015 Jordan Schnitzer Book Award from the Association for Jewish Studies Winner, 2014 National Jewish Book Award in American Jewish Studies from the Jewish Book Council The majority of Jewish immigrants who made their way to the United States between 1820 and 1924 arrived nearly penniless; yet today their descendants stand out as exceptionally successful. How can we explain their dramatic economic ascent? Have Jews been successful because of cultural factors distinct to them as a group, or because of the particular circumstances that they encountered in America? The Rag Race argues that the Jews who flocked to the United States during the age of mass migration were aided appreciably by their association with a particular corner of the American economy: the rag trade. From humble beginnings, Jews rode the coattails of the clothing trade from the margins of economic life to a position of unusual promise and prominence, shaping both their societal status and the clothing industry as a whole. Comparing the history of Jewish participation within the clothing trade in the United States with that of Jews in the same business in England, The Rag Race demonstrates that differences within the garment industry on either side of the Atlantic contributed to a very real divergence in social and economic outcomes for Jews in each setting. ungekürzt.
