    Nadine Hoover was sighted at birth and blinded by the drunken doctor bringing her into the world. The daughter she had herself as a teenager by a foster father who raped her became her greatest friend and comfort and Nadine kept her close until she died. Nadine renamed herself “Baybie” when she and her friend Virginia Brown moved to the streets of New York City where, she became a licensed minister and founded her church in an abandoned apartment in Brooklyn. If you lived in Manhattan and ever shopped at Bloomingdale’s in the late 60s and early 70s, you met Baybie and Virginia singing there by the main entrance.I was born sighted but then was blinded by the drunken doctor who gave birth to me. I was raped by my foster father, and lied to when my little girl was born. She was sold for adoption without anyone asking me. When I had an abortion a few years later, the doctor told me he did me a favor by removing my ovaries, but he never asked me. The Lighthouse called us mendicants and wanted us to learn crafts, but we’re working women - buskers. We work for our living. I am the Reverend Baybie Hoover. I can sing for eight hours and never repeat a song. This is Ginger Brown, my Deaconess of music. You are welcome to come to our little church. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    From the author of What to Eat and Shopped, a revelatory investigation into what really goes into the food we eat. Even with 25 years' experience as a journalist and investigator of the food chain, Joanna Blythman still felt she had unanswered questions about the food we consume every day. How natural is the process for making a "natural" flavouring? What exactly is modified starch, and why is it an ingredient in so many foods? What is done to pitta bread to make it stay fresh for six months? And why, when you eat a supermarket salad, does the taste linger in your mouth for several hours after? Swallow This is a fascinating exploration of the food processing industry and its products - not just the more obvious ready meals, chicken nuggets, and tinned soups but the less overtly industrial: washed salads, smoothies, yoghurts, cereal bars, bread, fruit juice, prepared vegetables. Forget illegal, horse-meat-scandal processes. Every step in the production of these is legal but practised by a strange and inaccessible industry, with methods a world away from our idea of domestic food preparation and obscured by technical speak, unintelligible ingredients manuals, and clever labelling practices. Determined to get to the bottom of the impact the industry has on our food, Joanna Blythman has gained unprecedented access to factories, suppliers, and industry insiders to give an utterly eye-opening account of what we're really swallowing. ungekürzt.

    Denkt man an die Provence, ziehen Abendessen unter freiem Himmel am inneren Auge vorbei und der Duft von Lavendel durch die Nase. Man hört den Mistral durch die Wälder rauschen, wird vom leuchtenden Blau des Lavendels geblendet und vom strahlenden Gelb der Mimosenfelder. Das Lieblingsziel des Bildungsbürgertums, der bodenständigen Gourmets, der Kunstinteressierten und Naturliebhaber ist von umwerfender Authentizität und scheint von der Moderne wenig berührt. Natürlich hat sich gutes Design seinen Weg gebahnt, gestylte Hotels, lässige Restaurants, aber immer behutsam und eng verbunden mit dem bereits Vorhandenen. Man schläft in alten Gemäuern, sitzt in schönsten Tulip Chairs, shopped bei Christian Lacroix und kauft auf Märkten ein, die so berühmt sind, dass Gilbert Bécaud sie in einem Chanson besang. Von wo bis wo sich die Provence genau erstreckt, ist umstritten. Und während sich findige Landvermesser den Kopf darüber zerbrechen, lehnen die Provenzalen sich gemütlich im Café zurück, nippen am Pastis und überlassen den anderen das Grübeln über die unwichtigen Dinge des Lebens. Unumstritten aber ist die Schönheit der Provence - und ihre kontrastreiche Landschaft: die tellerflache Camargue, die Obstplantagen bei Avignon, die karge Haute-Provence und der wildromantische Luberon. Sie ist der größte Gemüse-, Obst- und Kräuterlieferant Frankreichs. Dort werden die meisten Oliven geerntet und das beste Öl gepresst. Der Lavendelhonig ist genauso einzigartig wie der Ziegenkäse, die Lammwürstchen und natürlich die Trüffel. Es lebe die Provence!

    Before Adam Walsh, there were no faces on milk cartons, no Amber Alerts, no National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, no federal databases of crimes against children, no pedophile registry. His 1981 abduction and murder, unsolved for over a quarter of a century, forever changed America. One sunny July morning in 1981, Revé Walsh and her six-year-old son, Adam, stopped by the local Sears to pick up some new lamps. Enchanted by a video game at the store's entrance, Adam begged Revé to let him try it out while she shopped. When she returned a few minutes later, Adam was gone. The shock of Adam's murder, and of the inability of the police and the FBI to find his killer, radically altered American innocence and our ideas about childhood. Gone forever were the days when parents would allow their kids out of the house with the casual instruction "Be home by dark!" Revé and John Walsh, who would go on to create America's Most Wanted, became advocates for the transformation of law enforcement's response to and handling of such cases. Prompted by the Walshes' activism, Congress passed the Missing Children Act in 1982, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was founded in 1984. While our lives have been significantly altered by Adam Walsh's case, few of us know the whole story: how, after more than 27 years of relentless investigation, decorated Miami Beach homicide detective Joe Matthews finally identified Adam's killer. Bringing Adam Home is the definitive account of this horrifying crime. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert Fass.

    Nothing comes between Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) and her bargains. Neither act of God nor budget crunch can shatter her dreams of wall-to-wall Prada. Every milestone in her well-shopped life (travel, long-lost sister, marriage, pregnancy) inspires new vistas to explore in the name of retail therapy. But now she faces her greatest little challenge yet: Becky’s two-year-old daughter, Minnie. While motherhood has been everything Becky dreamed it would be—Baby Dior, Little Marc Jacobs, and Dolce & Gabbana for toddlers—adorable Minnie is wreaking havoc everywhere she goes, from Harrods to her own christening. Her favorite word is “MINE!” and her penchant for Balenciaga bags, Chanel sunglasses, and online purchases has no rival under age five. Becky is at her wits end. On top of this, she and her husband Luke are still living with her parents. Thankfully it appears house buying attempt number four is a go! Until a huge financial crisis causes panic everywhere, and nobody wants to shop—not Becky’s personal shopping clientele, not her friends, nobody. And with Luke in the doldrums, it’s time for Becky to step in—with a party: A surprise birthday party for Luke (on a budget) is the perfect antidote to everyone’s woes. At first. Will Becky manage to keep the party of the year a surprise? Can she hire jugglers, fire-eaters, and acrobats at a discount? Will enlisting the help of Luke’s unflappable assistant to convince him to have another baby realize her dream of matching pom-poms? Will Minnie find a new outlet for her energetic and spirited nature (perhaps one with sixty percent markdowns)? She is, after all, a chip off the old shopping block. And everyone knows a committed shopper always finds a way. Language: English. Narrator: Rosalyn Landor. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/002386/bk_rand_002386_sample.mp3.

    At the age of - well, Dr. Louise Bradley wouldn't say - she woke up in the back of a hideous Hummer limo, the kind used for pornos, proms, weddings, and bar mitzvahs. She had lost her temporary veneers and drooled on her Dolce and Gabbana turquoise silk blouse. She had no idea where the limo was taking her. Was that her mother in the front seat? Dr. Bradley could not remember how she got there. Yes, she drank, took drugs, had sex with many men, and shopped incessantly, but she knew that she wasn't an addict. This is her account of her almost a week - maybe less - in a private rehab facility for the rich in Manhattan. Dr. Bradley's book combines her intimate memoir with adequate psychology, since she prefers the medication prescribed by her psychiatrist as opposed to any long-term therapy. Dr. Bradley tries to understand the difference between falling in love and just becoming addicted to sex. She speaks freely about her obsession and how her mother betrayed her. Rather than explore the causes of multiple addictions, Dr. Bradley shows us how to avoid overtreatment, while exposing the mental health scams along the way. She hits on the importance of knowing when things are transient, and tells a powerful story in the process. Dr. Bradley remembers - as much as she can with sharp dialogue - of the stories she has to endure. While fact-checking proved to be an inconvenience, she strives to get to the truth, at least allowing herself a chance to remember. One Big Chunk is a fast-moving, wild, sexy, and fiercely powerful parody of what passes for a memoir - a hilarious satire that will simultaneously shock while offering a poignant exposé of our mental healthcare system, with a running commentary on the world of fashion. ungekürzt.

    Volume 1: Susan put the laptop down in front of Brenda and Kelly. She began showing them her slideshow of the photos of the night before. Susan had Photo shopped them a little, but they still looked very real and legitimate. The girl's jaws dropped and they were horrified at what they saw. "Buuu… but…" Brenda stammered. "Are those us in those pictures?" "Yes. See? I blew some of them up and you can clearly see your faces." Susan smiled. "Kelly, you were delicious by the way." Kelly began to feel sick to her stomach and like she was going to lose her breakfast she had just eaten. Once Susan had gone through the photos, Karen began to speak. "This is how this is all going to play out. Susan here had gone into each of your cell phones and accessed your Facebook pages and e-mail and changed your passwords.
