The Mama Sutra: A Story of Love, Loss, and the Path of Motherhood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 575min
Sutra is the Sanskrit name for a short spiritual teaching, and it comes from the same root as the English word suture, or stitch. This story of motherhood as a path to awakening is, says yoga and meditation teacher Anne Cushman, “an homage to the long threads that run through all human lives, stitching up what’s shredded in our hearts.”The Mama Sutra spans an 18-year journey through motherhood as a spiritual practice, chronicling Cushman’s first pregnancy, her daughter's tragic stillbirth, the joyful birth of her son, the “home retreat” of early motherhood, the challenges of parenthood, the diagnosis and gifts of her son’s developmental differences, the meltdown of her nuclear family and its reconfiguration into a new and joyful form, and more. This is a powerful story of the rawness and beauty of life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hillary Huber. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/sham/000016/bk_sham_000016_sample.mp3.

Prison Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 485min
Prison Stories is what Orange Is the New Black and Prison Break weren't real enough to be. Written by convict author Seth Ferranti, it takes you inside the belly of the beast, front and center. Prison Stories reveals a world of fearless convicts, inconspicuous snitches, and deadly gang rivalry. The book is a vivid look into the brutal and vicious world of prison. It takes the listener behind the fences, giving real life accounts from the netherworld of corruption and violence. Prison Stories' outlaw rawness mixes well with hip-hop's street essence. Fans of Iceberg Slim's Pimp Tales and HBO's OZ series will really dig this. In Prison Stories, Seth Ferranti brings forth a powerful memoir of life in federal prisons in the 1990s when the "war on drugs" and mandatory minimums were in full effect, quadrupling the population of the Bureau of Prisons. ungekürzt.

She Has No Name , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 305min
You will not find a happy ending or romantic interludes; there will be no heroes to save the day nor will justice prevail. You will see nothing more than the rawness of the world narrated to you by an individual seeing the world through her own eyes. Take a glimpse into a small portion of her life and bear witness to the transformation from a young girl to a young woman and take note of her biases, her jadedness, and her level of sensitivity. She will share with you her triumphs and her heartaches, all delivered absent of emotion. The incidents here are not relevant; the outcomes warrant neither approval nor rebuttal; people are not important in this story, relationships are inconsequential, and our heroine is nothing more than a tiny thread in a largely woven tapestry. For these reasons, she has no name. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Samuel Schwarz. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/072452/bk_acx0_072452_sample.mp3.

The Magnetic Diaries , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min
The Magnetic Diaries is simultaneously a narrative in poems, a critical appreciation, and a book of literary hide and seek. Taking the characters and storyline of Gustave Flaubert's 19th-century masterpiece Madame Bovary, Sarah James re-envisages them in a modern 21st-century English setting. The contemporary heroine, Emma Bailey, battles with similar romantic idealism, illusions about love, a stifling middle-class lifestyle, boredom, and depression. But will modern treatment save her and her marriage? Flaubert's tale is reworked and extended through moving lyrical fragments and beautifully crafted poems reconstructed by fictional researchers from Emma's diary and treatment notes. This book does not shy away from the rawness of severe depression or the troubled heroine's behavior. Instead, introspection and powerful poetry reveal that beauty and tenderness can exist even in pain. The Magnetic Diaries was highly commended in the Forward Prizes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

This Too Is Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
This is the book John Green would have written if he were a girl. (Tammi Labrecque, author of For Better, For Worse) "Moving, realistic story, beautifully and lovingly written. Very impressive." (Dawn Lee, author of The Forgotten Coast Series) "I love the rawness of the main character." (Eryn Scott, author of A Chance for Sunny Skies) I wanted best friends forever and calls from a boyfriend, but my phone only rings when some guy can't get what he wants from his girlfriend. And knows he can get it from me. I am my mother's daughter. It wasn't always like this. At first it was just one guy, but when someone new drove me home, whistling and saying, "Damn, girl, you're hot," I knew what I was becoming, what I was doing. I was going to let anyone have me until someone wanted me for more. But then I found out I was pregnant. And I hoped everything would change. Hope. The word carries so much. Because what if it doesn't work out or show up and come through? But what if it does? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Heather Masters.

Mercies
The ground-breaking work of the poet who paved the way for generations of women writers, in a new selection by her daugher and literary executor, Linda Gray SextonWhen Anne Sexton took her own life in October 1974, she left behind a body of work which had already, in less than two decades of writing, won her the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, established her as one of the foremost voices of her generation, and shocked America by breaking multiple taboos of subject matter, from insanity, depression and addiction to menstruation, adultery and the figure of the witch.Sexton's name is legendary. Her poetry is read around the world, translated into over thirty languages, and in her own country remains a touchstone for poets and readers looking for rawness of perception, vitality of expression, confessional frankness and fiery passion. Yet, incredibly, there has been no new UK edition of her work for decades. In Mercies, readers are provided with a resonant new selection from the writings of this natural phenomenon of a poet.- Shop: buecher

Undone: A Story of Making Peace with an Unexpected Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min
Become empowered to face your own messy, complicated life with fresh courage and bravery. Undone is author Michele Cushatt's quest to make peace with a complicated life. It is an honest confession of a diagnosis of cancer and the joys and disappointments of motherhood and marriage, ripe with regret over what is and yet still hopeful for what could be. With enough humor to ease the rawness of the story, Undone takes you on a roller-coaster two-year journey through the unexpectedness of life. A look back makes Michele long for a do-over, the chance to make fewer mistakes and leave less of a mess to clean up. A look forward makes Michele wonder if all her attempts to control life have robbed her of the vibrancy of it. And in the middle of this internal chaos, she finds her once-pristine house filled with the sights and sounds of three small, uncontainable children who just want to be loved. In the end, Undone turns complication into a beautiful canvas, angst into joy, and the unknown into an adventure, revealing that sometimes life's most colorful and courageous stories are written right in the middle of the mess. ungekürzt.
