The Christmas Promise , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 262min
Donna VanLiere's books movingly portray ordinary people reaching for more meaningful lives. In The Christmas Promise, she follows two seemingly separate individuals and shows how their lives intersect. Chaz McConnell realizes that his life is empty - and that he's made it that way. He goes home every night to a bare apartment. For the first time in his life, he's working at a job that will last more than a few weeks, as security for Wilson's Department Store. Trying to reach out, he befriends four-year-old Donovan, whose mother is part of the janitorial team at Wilson's. Gloria Bailey finds it easy to care for families in need, but she just can't seem to bridge the gap with her cantankerous neighbor, 60-something widow Miriam Lloyd Davies. When Miriam goes away for a week and a pipe bursts, she comes home to a house under water. Gloria, in an act of kindness, or maybe insanity, invites Miriam to stay at her house until a hotel room becomes available. They eventually realize they have more in common than they ever thought. In this beautiful, deeply poignant novel, we are reminded that the past is never far behind, and all of us are longing for a place to call home. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Trying to Stay Saved: New Day Divas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 462min
Lorain is back from her sabbatical, and although God didn't reveal to her all that she wanted him to regarding her past, she refuses to just let things be. When all the pieces of the puzzle begin to come together, just how many lives will be damaged, and how many will be restored? The survivor of one of the most horrific experiences a person could ever endure, it appeared as though Sister Nita, as leader of New Day's Janitorial Ministry, was hiding behind a mop and a broom. When her spirit discerns a cover up among a couple at New Day Temple of Faith, will she turn a blind eye and mind her own business, or will she finally begin to operate in her true calling? Mother Doreen knows who she is and whose she is; a child of the King on assignment doing kingdom work. When the plot thickens to a story she thought God had closed the book on, will she forget who she is and what she was called to do? The New Day Divas series, known as the soap opera in print, is full of chance, coincidence, and fate. But more importantly, it's full of faith. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Floyd Harbor: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 345min
“Floyd Harbor brings to mind Denis Johnson and Irvine Welsh, though it’s also as moving and ecstatic as the early songs of Bruce Springsteen.” (Zachary Lazar, author of Vengeance)"Mowdy’s gritty debut collection of linked stories is set in a rundown community on eastern Long Island, with characters struggling to overcome poverty and trauma." (New York Times Book Review, New & Noteworthy)Set largely in the 1990s, the 12 linked stories in Joel Mowdy’s first book take place in and around Mastic Beach, a community on New York’s Long Island that’s close to the wealthy Hamptons but afflicted by widespread poverty. Mostly in their teens and early 20s, the characters struggle to become independent in various ways, ranging from taking typical low-paying jobs - hotel laundry, janitorial, restaurant, and landscaping work - to highly ingenious schemes, to exchanging sexual favors for a place to stay. A few make it to local community colleges; others end up in rehab or juvenile detention centers. However loving, their parents can offer little help. Those who are Vietnam veterans may suffer from PTSD; others may bear the addictions that often come with stressful lives.Neighborhoods of small bungalows - formerly vacation homes - with dilapidated boats in the driveways hint at the waterways that open up close by. The beauty of the ocean beach offer further consolation, as does the often high-spirited temperament of youth. Joel Mowdy brings to his affecting collection both personal experience and a gift for discerning and lingering on the essential moments in his characters’ stories. He intimately and vividly illuminates American lives that too seldom see the light. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Milk the Iron Cow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 243min
Milk the Iron Cow begins in the months leading up to December 7, 1941, during World War II. The story is set in the Midwestern city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee has a huge industrial capacity: foundries, machine-shops, factories, rails systems, and water-ways. The lake-port and river docks are beehives of ships loading soldiers and war materials. Day and night, on the streets near the docks, there is a constant roar of motors as trucks arrive and leave from loading and unloading stations. This is a time when the industrial might of the US was converted from making automobiles and washing machines to airplanes and bombs; a time when men carried guns instead of lunch pails; a time when machines stood idle because there was no white men to operate them; a time when white women left home to take the place of white men in the factories. This is a time when most unions and companies continued to ban Negroes from skill-training or employment in all but janitorial jobs; a time when white men refused to have black men work alongside them; a time when colored men and women protested racial discrimination in employment, and along with the Urban League, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and A. Philip Randolph, of the Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters' Union, took that protest to the streets, the courts, and to the president of the United States. Milk the Iron Cow is for lovers of a good story. Educators could find it entertaining and informative as a supplement in courses such as American History, Ethnic Studies, Social Studies, and African and African American Studies. ungekürzt.
