    The Big Fix: Hope After Heroin , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
    After surviving nearly a decade of heroin abuse and hard living on the streets of San Francisco's Tenderloin District, Tracey Helton Mitchell decided to get clean for good. With raw honesty and a poignant perspective on life that comes only from starting at rock bottom, The Big Fix tells her story of transformation from homeless heroin addict to stable mother of three - and the hard work and hard lessons that got her there. Rather than dwelling on the pain of addiction, Tracey focuses on her journey of recovery and rebuilding her life while exposing the failings of the American rehab system and laying out a path for change. Starting with the first step in her recovery, Tracey relearns how to interact with men, build new friendships, handle money, and rekindle her relationship with her mother, all while staying sober, sharp, and dedicated to her future. A decidedly female story of addiction, The Big Fix describes the unique challenges faced by women caught in the grip of substance abuse, such as the toxic connection between drug addiction and prostitution. Tracey's story of hope, hard work, and rehabilitation will inspire anyone who has been affected by substance abuse while offering hope for a better future.

    Mary Marie , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 405min
    Eleanor H. Porter's most famous literary creation is "Pollyanna", but she isn't the only precocious young girl to spring from the author's pen. Mary Marie Anderson describes herself as "a cross-current and a contradiction", the offspring of incompatible parents who couldn't even agree about her name. Her father calls her Mary, and her mother calls her Marie. When the two divorce when she is 13, Mary Marie is delighted since she's always liked being different. None of the other girls have two homes and spend six months with each parent! Father will remain in their small town, and Mother will live in Boston with her family.    This exciting development persuades Mary Marie to keep a diary that she plans to turn into a novel. Surely one of her parents will remarry and provide the romance to spice up her story. But adolescence is not an easy time of life, and harsh reality intervenes when she discovers that 1920s America is not always tolerant of divorce. Her chronically absentminded father seems to have little interest in her, made worse by an overbearing and dour aunt who moves in with him. And over time, being fun-loving Marie in the city and sober Mary in the country becomes confusing and wears thin. She's always liked being different...but not being two different girls! Worst of all: Why can't either of her parents find someone new and turn her novel into a love story? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Hancock.

    Blutiges Moor, Hörbuch, Digital, 277min
    Rannoch Station, von den wenigen Besuchern nur "in the middle of nowhere" genannt, ist nicht mehr als ein heruntergekommener Bahnhof und eine Ansammlung von einigen Gehöften inmitten einer von Moor geprägten schottischen Landschaft. Für eine Weile soll der kleine Ort die einsame Bleibe von Sandra Wiener sein, die sich nach der Scheidung in Deutschland dem ihr nachstellenden Ex-Mann entziehen will. In der Hoffnung, gedanklichen Abstand von der gescheiterten Ehe zu bekommen, bezieht die junge Frau bei Familie White ein bescheidenes Gästezimmer. Doch schon bei ihrer ersten Unterredung mit Dan White, dem Besitzer des Hauses, beschleicht Sandra ein seltsames Gefühl. Angeblich ist White's Ehefrau Tage zuvor ohne ein Wort des Abschieds gegangen und möglicherweise ein Opfer des "Shape shifters" geworden, welcher der Legende nach als wolfsähnlicher Dämon sein Unwesen im Moor treibt. Unsicher darüber, ob sie den anscheinend abergläubischen Ansichten ihres Vermieters Glauben schenken soll, begibt sich Sandra auf Spurensuche. Dabei begegnet sie einem bluttrinkenden Hund sowie einem Mann, welcher den Ausführungen der Dorfbewohner nach bereits seit Monaten tot ist...

    The Book Thieves: The Nazi Looting of Europe's Libraries and the Race to Return a Literary Inheritance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 820min
    For fans of The Monuments Men and The Hare with Amber Eyes, the story of the Nazis' systematic pillaging of Europe's libraries and the small team of heroic librarians now working to return the stolen books to their rightful owners. While the Nazi party was being condemned by much of the world for burning books, they were already hard at work perpetrating an even greater literary crime. Through extensive new research that included records saved by the Monuments Men themselves, Anders Rydell tells the untold story of Nazi book theft, as he himself joins the effort to return the stolen books. When the Nazi soldiers ransacked Europe's libraries and bookshops, large and small, the books they stole were not burned. Instead, the Nazis began to compile a library of their own that they could use to wage an intellectual war on literature and history. In this secret war, the libraries of Jews, communists, liberal politicians, LGBT activists, Catholics, Freemasons, and many other opposition groups were appropriated for Nazi research and used as an intellectual weapon against their owners. But when the war was over, most of the books were never returned. Instead many found their way into the public library system, where they remain to this day. Now, Rydell finds himself entrusted with one of these stolen volumes, setting out to return it to its rightful owner. It was passed to him by the small team of heroic librarians who have begun the monumental task of combing through Berlin's public libraries to identify the looted books and reunite them with the families of their original owners. For those who lost relatives in the Holocaust, these books are often the only remaining possession of their relatives they have ever held. And as Rydell travels to return the volume he was given, he shows just how much a single book can mean to those who own it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kaleo Griffith.
