    Sameth’s book presents a brutally honest and much-needed account of family-building and parenting in the 21st century. (New Pages)Through meditations on race, culture, and family, One Day on the Gold Line tells the story of a lesbian Jewish single mother raising a black son in Los Angeles. A memoir-in-essays, it examines life’s surprising changes that come through choice or circumstance, often seemingly out of nowhere, and sometimes darkly humorous - even as the situations are dire.While escaping from a burning boat, Carla realizes that if she died, her one regret would be not having children. She overcomes miscarriages to finally give birth to a son. Motherhood’s usual struggles are then complicated by identity, community, and the challenges of creating a blended family. The overarching theme of these loosely woven reflective tales is the storyteller’s dream of the “perfect” family, the pursuit of which hurls her from one crisis to the next, ultimately meeting its greatest challenge in the form of her teenage son’s struggle with drug addiction. ungekürzt.

    Dr. Steven Collins has devoted his life to one cause: finding a way to prevent a catastrophic collision between Earth and an asteroid, like the one that killed off the dinosaurs millions of years ago. Collins spends years developing a shield - a device that uses the Earth’s own magnetic field - and finally reaches the point where he is ready to test it. But when Collins turns on his creation, he rips open a hole in time and space itself that hurls him forward in time, where he discovers to his horror that the device he created has caused the very global Armageddon he was trying to prevent. Collins now must try to undo the damage he has done as best he can. But the few surviving members of the human race are slowly dying off, a century of living under the shield taking its toll, and they cannot leave the planet to try to build a new civilization elsewhere. For just beyond the shield lurks a madman who seeks to dominate the human race or exterminate it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: A. W. Miller.

    If only ER doc Sarah Sullivan could get the ornery cowboy she's loved since she was a girl to cooperate, she could move on with her life, and maybe even think about starting a family. But he's pulling away, and she doesn't know why. What she does know is that she can't imagine life without him. Ex-con Cal Landon lives in fear of the day his ugly past catches up with him and takes away the best thing he's ever known, Sarah Sullivan. Cal would die to protect her, but she deserves better than a world-weary ranch hand. Even though it's way past time for him to leave her family's Montana spread, he can't bring himself to let go. When Sarah proposes at Christmastime, Cal has no choice but to walk away. Then a hostage crisis hurls Sarah into a life-and-death situation, and the love that made Cal leave sends him racing back to her side, straight into danger. He will get her out alive or die trying. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Eric G. Dove. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/078654/bk_acx0_078654_sample.mp3.

Sheathed in a black multifaceted skin, a secret all but invisible against the darkness of space, the killer satellite hunts with one of the deadliest weapons ever created. It is Zeus - and like the god of myth it hurls lightning from the heavens.

    What if Jesus had not come until today? Who would follow him? Who would kill him? Bill Myers, author of the best-selling Blood of Heaven trilogy, asks these questions in Eli, an intense and thought-provoking novel that strips away religious tradition to present Jesus fresh and unvarnished. When a fiery car crash hurls TV journalist Conrad Davis into another world, everything is exactly like present-day reality, except for one detail - Jesus Christ did not come 2,000 years ago, but today. Starting with angels heralding a birth in the back of a motel laundry room, the skeptical Davis watches the gospel unfold in today's society as a Messiah in t-shirt and blue jeans heals, raises people from the dead, and speaks such startling truths that he captures the heart of a nation. But the young man's actions and his criticism of the religious establishment earn him enemies as ruthless as they are powerful. With gripping immediacy, Myers weaves a story whose truth will refresh your faith. Language: English. Narrator: Bill Myers.
