The Four Fists , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
The title of this short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a bit deceptive and doesn't do this story justice. The four fists are actually four very valuable life lessons delivered with a fist. "I suppose that there's a caddish streak in every man that runs crosswise across his character and disposition and general outlook. With some men it's secret and we never know it's there until they strike us in the dark one night. But Samuel's showed when it was in action, and the sight of it made people see red. He was rather lucky in that, because every time his little devil came up it met a reception that sent it scurrying down below in sickly, feeble condition. It was the same devil, the same streak that made him order Gilly's friends off the bed, that made him go inside Marjorie's house. If you could run your hand along Samuel Meredith's jaw you'd feel a lump. He admits he's never been sure which fist left it there, but he wouldn't lose it for anything. He says there's no cad like an old cad, and that sometimes just before making a decision, it's a great help to stroke his chin. The reporters call it a nervous characteristic, but it's not that. It's so he can feel again the gorgeous clarity, the lightning sanity of those four fists." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Vendetti.

Crossroads Serenade: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min
Five years ago tragic circumstances forced Meredith to leave Crossroads, her small Montana hometown, shortly after graduating from high school. But now a dear friend she left behind has passed away, leaving the Serenade--a restaurant, bar, and hotel--to her in his will. Meredith weighs the pros and cons of going home to take ownership of the Serenade. She worries that her lack of experience might result in the loss of the business it took decades for her friend to build. Then there's the hundreds of miles she's put between herself and Raymond, the drunken, abusive stepfather who tormented her for years. What if he starts harassing her as soon as she gets back home? But it is Meredith's undying love for Pete, who broke their engagement over events that neither of them could have foreseen, that prompts Meredith to pack up and head home--with her child in tow. Nobody, least of all Meredith, imagines the extreme difficulty of the road ahead. A road that, without the undying support of a circle of steadfast friends, will be impossible to travel. Crossroads Serenade is one young woman's saga as she struggles to overcome adversity and tragedy. But it is also a story of love--between lovers, between parent and child, and between the dearest of friends. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Melissa Chatwood.

The Pink Victorian , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 540min
In this sequel to Crossroads Serenade, an unwelcome character from Pete's past shows up for a show-down, which can either drive a permanent wedge into his relationship with Meredith, or cement it in place so they can build their future together - a future that will include their son Grant, whom Meredith and Pete hope will remain happy and well-adjusted, even after they saddle him with a reality no child should ever have to deal with. Former Serenade employee Ralph returns to Crossroads and now works at the McBride ranch. A bad experience in Las Vegas has left him afraid to love again until he meets Helene and her spirited little girl, Arlee, who are on the run from Arlee's father. When the gas gauge of their car lands on empty, Helene and Arlee land in Crossroads and change a lot of lives, including their own. Mona, The Serenade's flirty 50-something head waitress who took Meredith under her wing and taught her "Waitressing 101", finds retirement so boring it's "killing'" her! Replaced by JoLynn as the head waitress, Mona appears to be stuck in a lifestyle that is so not Mona! Finally, Jenny's dream of a charity to serve the underprivileged children of the area has come to fruition. Over time, the truth takes hold in Meredith's heart - that the good the charity does for the children far outweighs some bitter memories she has of having grown up there - in The Pink Victorian. ungekürzt.

The Price of Defiance : James Meredith and the Integration of Ole Miss , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1450min
After fighting a protracted legal battle, James Meredith broke the color barrier in 1962 as the first African American student at the University of Mississippi. The riot that followed his arrival on campus seriously wounded scores of U.S. marshals and killed two civilians; more casualties than any other clash of the civil rights era. To restore order, the Kennedy administration dispatched thousands of soldiers to Oxford. In The Price of Defiance, Charles Eagles shows that the stunning eruption of violence resulted from the "closed society's" long defiance of the civil rights movement and federal law. Using many previously untapped sources, including FBI and U.S. marshal files, army and university records, and Meredith's personal papers, Eagles provides invaluable background for understanding the historic moment by demonstrating the university's - and Mississippi's - history of aggressive resistance to desegregation from the post-World War II years on, including the deliberate flouting of federal law. Ultimately, the price of such behavior - the price of defiance - was not only the murderous riot that rocked the nation and almost closed the university but also the nation's enduring scorn for Ole Miss and Mississippi. Eagles paints a remarkable portrait of Meredith himself by describing his unusual family background, his personal values, and his service in the U.S. Air Force, all of which prepared him for his experience at Ole Miss. Based on extraordinary research, Eagles vividly portrays the culture of segregation and the eventual desegregation of one of the last bastions of racial segregation, Ole Miss. ungekürzt.

The Fall of Lisa Bellow , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 589min
The breakout novel from the critically acclaimed author of the short story collections Who I Was Supposed to Be and Why They Run the Way They Do. When a middle school girl is abducted in broad daylight, a fellow student and witness to the crime copes with the tragedy in an unforgettable way. What happens to the girl left behind? A masked man with a gun enters a sandwich shop in broad daylight, and Meredith Oliver suddenly finds herself ordered to the filthy floor, where she cowers face to face with her nemesis, Lisa Bellow, the most popular girl in her eighth-grade class. The minutes tick inexorably by, and Meredith lurches between comforting the sobbing Lisa and imagining her own impending death. Then the man orders Lisa Bellow to stand and come with him, leaving Meredith the girl left behind. After Lisa's abduction, Meredith spends most days in her room. As the community stages vigils and searches, Claire, Meredith's mother, is torn between relief that her daughter is alive and helplessness over her inability to protect or even comfort her child. Her daughter is here, but not. Like Everything I Never Told You and Room, The Fall of Lisa Bellow is edgy and original, a hair-raising exploration of the ripple effects of an unthinkable crime. It is a dark, beautifully rendered, and gripping novel about coping, about coming of age, and about forgiveness. It is also a beautiful illustration of how one family, broken by tragedy, finds healing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Madeleine Maby.
