The Sister and the Sinner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 179min, (USK 18)
J.D. Holt wasn't at all what he seemed when he tackled Sister Mary Francis in the vegetable garden of her ramshackle convent near Deadwood in the Dakota Territories. But he needed a safe place to hide and recover, and a convent seemed better than most. Especially if all of the other sisters looked like this one. Sister Mary Francis was sure he was an outlaw, a claim jumper, or both, especially since he seemed to be all too ready to use the business end of that knife to get what he wanted, and the flat of his hand on her bottom if that was quicker. And when things blossomed between them, despite her reservations and his secretiveness, his wasn't the only blood that was going to be spilled. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Crazy Lady , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min

But then Vernon gets to know them and he sees what their life is really like. He spends an afternoon helping them straighten out their ramshackle house, picking up their littered yard; and sits with Ronald while he watches Lassie and Mickey Mouse Club.

Captain George Flavel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
Astoria, Oregon, owes its existence as much to a little-known ship captain as its namesake, John Jacob Astor. Captain George Flavel happened upon the ramshackle village at the mouth of the Columbia River in the fall of 1849, bringing goods during the California Gold Rush. As he subsequently captained and piloted three different ships along the Pacific coast, he learned that the perilous Columbia River Bar, the "graveyard of the Pacific", barred the entrance to most mariners. Hazards abounded. Powerful tides and currents merged with the river's flow, storms, and winds to produce towering waves and an ever-shifting bar - a living, breathing peril to lives, shipping, and cargo. But Flavel recognized that a wise and knowledgeable pilot could master this peril and possibly build a career, a future, and the town of Astoria at the river's mouth. ungekürzt. Language: English.
