    Rising out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
    From a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, the powerful story of how a prominent white supremacist changed his heart and mind Derek Black grew up at the epicenter of white nationalism. His father founded Stormfront, the largest racist community on the Internet. His godfather, David Duke, was a KKK Grand Wizard. By the time Derek turned 19, he had become an elected politician with his own daily radio show - already regarded as the "the leading light" of the burgeoning white nationalist movement. "We can infiltrate," Derek once told a crowd of white nationalists. "We can take the country back." Then he went to college. Derek had been homeschooled by his parents, steeped in the culture of white supremacy, and he had rarely encountered diverse perspectives or direct outrage against his beliefs. At New College of Florida, he continued to broadcast his radio show in secret each morning, living a double life until a classmate uncovered his identity and sent an email to the entire school: "Derek Black...white supremacist, radio host...New College student???" The ensuing uproar overtook one of the most liberal colleges in the country. Some students protested Derek's presence on campus, forcing him to reconcile for the first time with the ugliness his beliefs. Other students found the courage to reach out to him, including an Orthodox Jew who invited Derek to attend weekly Shabbat dinners. It was because of those dinners - and the wide-ranging relationships formed at that table - that Derek started to question the science, history, and prejudices behind his worldview. As white nationalism infiltrated the political mainstream, Derek decided to confront the damage he had done. Rising out of Hatred tells the story of how white-supremacist ideas migrated from the far-right fringe to the White House through the intensely personal saga of one man who eventually disavowed everything he was taught to believe, at tremendous personal c ungekürzt.

    Nantucket Neighbors: A Beach Plum Cove Novel, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 320min
    Book your visit to the Beach Plum Cove Inn today...meet widow Lisa Hodges and her four adult children, friends, and visitors to the newly opened waterfront bed and breakfast.In the first book, The Nantucket Inn, Lisa learned that her deceased husband had a hidden gambling addiction and had blown through their retirement savings. Since she'd been raising four children and hadn't worked in years, she had no employable skills. Her only option if she wanted to stay on the island near her loved ones, was to rent out her second floor rooms.And she's loving it so far. Lisa's first guest, restaurant owner Rhett Byrne quickly became a close friend and then something more. In her early fifties, it sounds strange to her to call him her boyfriend, but that's what he is.Her daughter Kristen, finally ended things with Sean, the separated man that no one in the family was excited about. It wasn't until she was beginning to move on, that he filed for divorce, and then begged her for another chance. So she gave him one, much to everyone's dismay. But then the cottage next door is sold, and she discovers who her new neighbor is.Chase, the only boy in the family, has never been serious about anyone before. But he's suddenly withdrawn and has been secretive about who he's seeing, which only makes everyone that much more curious. When they learn who it is, the concern grows as no one wants to see Chase hurt, again. Lisa's best friend, Paige, has a new neighbor too and it's one she is most decidedly not enthused about. Violet was one of the women who stood up at town meeting and protested against Lisa's inn being approved by the selectman. Because the house is right next door, Paige can't help but notice the steady stream of traffic. Violet seems to be very popular with a lot of people.The inn is doing well and bookings are up, but then one Friday night, a guest that prepaid for the weekend never shows up. And quite a few people, incl ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Karissa Vacker. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/169246/bk_acx0_169246_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    You're Beautiful: A Single Mom and a Virgin Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min, (USK 18)
    “Don, I got tickets for the concert in the park for next month. I hope the weather will be nice for it,” I said to my husband as he stuffed papers into his briefcase.  “I do love concerts in the park. Don’t you?”  “Hmm,” was all he said “Where is my agenda?”  I tried not to feel hurt by him brushing me off. It was nothing new these days. He’d been so busy with work lately that he didn’t seem to have time for me or anything else. I sighed and handed him the leather bound book. He took it without a word and zipped up his messenger bag. Slinging it over his shoulders, he picked up his travel bag and suitcase. He was off to another business trip.  “I have to go. I’ll call you from the airport,” he said as he headed downstairs. I followed him. “Where are you going this time?” I asked. “Denver.”  “How long will you be gone?” Don shrugged. “I’m not sure. What’s with all the questions, huh? I’ll be back when I’m done.” I looked at him.  “I’m sorry, dear. I want to know because I miss you when you’re gone. That’s all. I’m not trying to get in your business.” He glanced at me over his shoulder briefly before checking his phone. “That’s probably a good thing,” he snapped. He finished typing the text and stuffed the phone in his pocket.  “Look Katerina, I don’t like being gone so much anymore than you do. But you’re not working much anymore. Maybe a gig here or there. And-”  “My agent gets jobs for me, Don,” I protested softly.  “I can’t help it that the agencies want younger models.” Don snorted. “Be that as it may, I don’t know why you still try. Face it, baby. You’re modeling days are over.” Hurt washed over me but I didn’t let him see it. He’d been saying that a lot as of late. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theresa Stephens.

    Do you want to help your baby fall asleep quickly and with no stress? Then these beautiful 35 bedtime short stories are the solution!Here is an extract from the bedtime story “The Sleepy Dog Takes a Bath”:The Sleepy Dog was playing in the mud and water all day. He would bark, and he was very, very dirty.“Woof!” he would shout getting mud everywhere. “Grrrr!” he would snarl when his mommy, Mrs. Dog, would force him to have a bath.He would eat dinner with his dirty fingers and leave crumbs all over the table and footprints all over the floor. Everyone around The Sleepy Dog would get grossed out at him, but he would just go on being dirty and yucky.One day, The Sleepy Dog went home covered head to toe with sticks, leaves, tiny insects, and mud! Lots and lots of mud! Mud all the way up to his eyes!“Oh my, The Sleepy!” exclaimed Mrs. Dog. “You look like a tiny Doggy monster. Better get up and have a wash.”“But Mooooom!” The Sleepy protested, “Why do I need to take a bath when I’m just going to get dirty again?”Mrs. Dog snorted. The Sleepy needed to learn his lesson.“Fine, Sleepy Dog,” she said with her arms to her sides. “I’m going to let you see what happens to little doggies who don’t wash up.”So The Sleepy Dog had dinner that night, unwashed and stinky all the way till bedtime.“Do you want a bath now, The Sleepy?” asked Mr. Dog, looking concerned. “Nope!” The Sleepy laughed. “Woof, Woof, Woof!”The Sleepy dressed in his clean pajamas. He did not brush his teeth. He started to feel hot and itchy but he didn’t care. No bath time! Hooray!Mr. and Mrs. Dog tucked The Sleepy in bed and turned down the lights, shaking their heads at their hardheaded son. The moon rose above in the sky and The Sleepy lay in bed and tried to close his eyes. Itch. The Sleepy’s nose twitched. Scratch. Itch. Itch. Scratch. Scratch. The Sleepy Dog started scratching all over.If you want to h ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jeni Brockbank. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/211525/bk_acx0_211525_sample.mp3.

    Colonial Argentina: The History of Argentina’s Colonization and Struggle for Independence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 114min
    Naturally, the arrival in 1492 of Christopher Columbus on the leeward islands of the Bahamas triggered the first of the great permutations that would reshape South America and Mesoamerica forever. Though he was Italian, Columbus sailed as an agent of Spain’s Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, and “discovered” the New World in the name of the Kingdoms of Aragon and Castile.By the time Columbus started setting east from the New World, he had explored San Salvador in the Bahamas (which he thought was Japan), Cuba (which he thought was China), and Hispaniola, the source of gold. As the common story goes, Columbus, en route back to Spain from his first journey, called in at Lisbon as a courtesy to brief the Portuguese King John II of his discovery of the New World. King John subsequently protested that according to the 1479 Treaty of Alcáçovas, which divided the Atlantic Ocean between Spanish and Portuguese spheres of influence, the newly discovered lands rightly belonged to Portugal. To make clear the point, a Portuguese fleet was authorized and dispatched west from the Tagus to lay claim to the “Indies,” which prompted a flurry of diplomatic activity in the court of Ferdinand and Isabella. At the time, Spain lacked the naval power to prevent Portugal from acting on this threat, and the result was the hugely influential 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas.The Treaty of Tordesillas was one of the most important documents of its kind of the age, for it established the essential parameters of the two competing empires, the first of the major European imperial entities. The Treaty of Tordesillas drew an imaginary line from pole to pole, running 100 leagues west of the westernmost islands of the Azores. According to the terms of a supporting papal bull, all the lands to the west of that belonged to Spain, and all of those to the east belonged to Portugal. What this meant in practical terms was that Portugal was given Africa and the Indian Ocean while Spain wa ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

    The Guardians (eBook, ePUB)
    The Sunday Times bestseller from international bestseller John Grisham.'Grisham at his passionate best' - Daily MailHe was framed for murder.Now he needs a miracle. 22 years ago Quincy Miller was sentenced to life without parole. He was accused of killing Keith Russo, a lawyer in a small Florida town. But there were no reliable witnesses and little motive. Just the fact that Russo had botched Quincy's divorce case, that Quincy was black in a largely all-white town and that a blood-splattered torch was found in the boot of Quincy's car. A torch he swore was planted. A torch that was conveniently destroyed in a fire just before his trial.The lack of evidence made no difference to judge or jury. In the eyes of the law Quincy was guilty and, no matter how often he protested his innocence, his punishment was life in prison.Finally, after 22 years, comes Quincy's one and only chance of freedom. An innocence lawyer and minister, Cullen Post, takes on his case. Post has exonerated eight men in the last ten years. He intends to make Quincy the next.But there were powerful and ruthless people behind Russo's murder. They prefer that an innocent man dies in jail rather than one of them. There's one way to guarantee that. They killed one lawyer 22 years ago, and they'll kill another without a second thought.Praise for John Grisham's THE GUARDIANS:'A canny and engrossing blend of two types of Grisham novel: enough of the familiar formula of a single lawsuit in a single town, mixed with a more picaresque and multistranded approach that has the significant advantage of taking in a wider swathe of America' - The Sunday Times'Delivered with all his signature easy, flowing style. A past master at the art of deft characterisation and the skilful delivery of hair-raising crescendos, Grisham makes this a deceptively easy read' - Irish Independent'This is typical Grisham: speedy, gripping, very good at conveying the complexities of the law in a digestible way' - Sunday Express'Speedy and gripping' - Daily Mirror 350+ million copies, 45 languages, 9 blockbuster films:NO ONE WRITES DRAMA LIKE JOHN GRISHAM

    Held by Dad, Raped by Dog! (eBook, ePUB)
    The moment I turned 18, I decided to live with my father. I didn’t know he had a drinking problem. Or a big, huge black German Shepherd problem. Alone with the big, dominant bull of a dog, he forced his way on me, growling and snarling until I did his bidding. I thought my father would intervene, but when he came back, he accused me of raping his precious dog. That’s when things went downhill. Fast. Excerpt: Obediently, I parted my lips and let his turgid, spider-veined cock slip inside. I gagged as his cum sprayed down my throat. But I could tell from his body language that I had better drink his dominant doggy cum or else. My God, what the hell was happening? I did my best to suck his throbbing cock, letting his cum slide down my throat and into my belly. I'd never had a cock in my mouth before and really didn't know what to do with it, but it didn't seem to matter too much to Buddy, he just held his dick deep in my throat while he pumped his seed inside me. That's when I heard the door open. Oh God! I tried to push Buddy off, but he just pressed himself harder on top of me, his dick slipping half-way down my throat. "What the fuck are you doing to my dog?" My father growled. The dog was seemingly oblivious to what was going on as he continued to pump his dominant seed down my throat. "Did you seduce Buddy?" My father, who was two sheets to the wind drunk bellowed. "No!" I tried to say, but found it awfully hard to speak with a doggie dick in my throat. "You slut! I take you in and how do you repay me? By raping my dog!" He stepped toward us and I shivered violently. "Buddy, get off her!" He growled. Instantly, the dog pulled out, whined and licked his still-cumming cock. "You're going to pay, bitch!" He said, angrily slapping me across the cheek. "But daddy!" I protested, but he was having none of it. In one swift motion, he tore off my dress, exposing my small, pert breasts and my pink, wet panties. For the second time that night I was exposed to a man. "Daddy!" I cried and covered myself.

    Flight (eBook, ePUB)
    One day she is Linda Farley, a senior in a San Diego high school, with a talent for art, an annoying younger brother, two loving parents, and a prospective boyfriend. Three days later, she is Lainie Foster, hiding with her mother and brother in Olympia, Washington. That's how fast things change after Linda's mother tells her that her father has been caught by the feds in a Mafia money laundering scheme and that the rest of the family has been placed in the Witness Protection Program. By the rules she's given, she must stay out of school, cut off contact with anyone back home, and never tell anyone what has happened. Linda -- now Lainie -- does her best, but in navigating her new life, she faces a number of questions. How could her father do something so contrary to her image of him? Why is her mother so familiar with their new city? How can she pursue a career in art without going to school? What must she do to save her brother from the worst effects of the upheaval? And who is that dark-haired woman she keeps spotting in front of the house? Then there's the biggest question of all: Is she Linda or is she Lainie? Because, in the end, is the choice really anyone's but hers? ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Anne L. Watson, a retired historic preservation architecture consultant, is the author of numerous novels, plus books on such diverse subjects as soapmaking and baking with cookie molds. A former resident of Olympia, Washington -- the main setting of "Flight" -- she currently lives in Bellingham, Washington, with her husband and fellow author, Aaron Shepard. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE "Lainie," Mom said, her voice a little gentler, "we have to follow the rules, whether we like them or not." "The rules are nuts, Mom," I protested. "Like making us keep our old initials. So the Mafia is too stupid to check the passenger lists for trains and planes leaving Southern California? You think they won't look for two A.F.'s and an L.F. with one-way tickets to the same place?" Mom moved to the right to let a tailgating Jeep speed ahead. "That's one reason we're splitting up," she said. "WITSEC has never lost anyone who followed the rules," she said. "WITSEC?" I yelped. "Who the hell is that?" "The Witness Security Program. That's its other name." Sheesh. WITSEC. Like the FBI was such a buddy, we needed to give them a nickname. My face itched, and I rubbed it hard. "Don't do that," Mom said. "You'll rub off your makeup." "It feels like dirt. I don't know how you put up with it." "You get used to it. Especially when you have more important things to worry about." Well, we had that, in spades. I'd just dumped someone I really wanted to go out with. I wouldn't be going to art school next year, because that's what Linda Farley would have done. I had to be someone else, probably forever. Compared to that, grease all over my face really was a detail. I gave up and quit talking about it. Whining wasn't going to do any good. Mom kept quiet too, watching the traffic. In the front seat, Alan sang some dumb song from a TV kids' show, over and over. But, as Mom had said, I had more important things to worry about.
