Walking Wisdom: Three Generations, Two Dogs, and the Search for a Happy Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 417min

Gotham Chopra considers himself a pretty average guy. He devours pizza, lives and dies by his hometown teams, and watches Kung Fu Panda with his son - daily. But his childhood wasn’t quite so average. Growing up, Gotham was exposed to the deepest reservoirs of knowledge that his famous father, Deepak, could find; his childhood was part spiritual, part scientific, and totally unique. Now a newly minted father himself, he’s contemplating the influences he wants to draw on for his own son. The first was no surprise: his father. The second was unexpected: his dogs. From Nicholas, the blaze of energy and anarchy who turned the family upside down, to Cleo, a rescue mutt with food issues, the Chopra dogs taught the family about curiosity and wisdom, open-mindedness and passion, not to mention loyalty and pig’s ears. But what else, Gotham wondered? And how did these lessons compare to the ones that Deepak himself imparted? Gotham would soon find out. When his mother took an unexpected trip to India and left instructions to look after Papa, father and son have an opportunity for male bonding on a big scale. That this bonding takes place on their daily walks seems almost natural. After all, Gotham also had in his care a nervous dog and an exuberant toddler, both with an insatiable need for exercise and exploration. So Gotham and Deepak walk and talk, discussing the laughs and licks that come with having a dog, along with the contradictions, complexities, and consequences of having children. They soon realize the qualities they observe and admire most in their pets are values we humans would do well to nurture within ourselves. They discover that our best friends have a lot to teach us. Gotham and Deepak’s message may seem simple, but therein lies its brilliance. Heartfelt, endearing, and above all down to earth, Walking Wisdom offers readers both enlightenment and comfort, with a little bit of mayhem thrown in for good measure. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Deeps: Flag of Bones, Voyages of the Dragon Wynd , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min

Jalen, now beyond the reach of the Empire, and out of range of any of their permanent settlements, Jalen heads for Darkwater Cove. From there he hopes to get more information on the ship that took his wife. When a storm forces Jalen and his crew off course, Jalen finds that there are things in this world more frightening than death, as he comes to the desolate isle of Helatin Gare. Limping back to Darkwater, frightened, and still hurt by Marek's betrayal and death, and now afraid that his friend is among the Army of Shades, Jalen is once-again forced to defend himself, this time against other Pirates. With the battle lines beginning to be drawn, Jalen finds himself face-to-face with a black storm of smoke and fire that devours all it touches, forcing him to depend on Delphe to save him. And in the aftermath, discovers a secret about the house boy that shakes him to the core. Still reeling from the secret Delphe holds, Jalen is shocked to see the Wolf's brigade, but the Red Water Dragon, the ship Stolen from the Empire at the cove, springs a trap meant for Jalen, forced to let Silvermane's ship go and chase the ship before him. Clearing the ship of Empire men, Jalen is brought face-to-face with the Evil of the Empire and their treatment of the Islanders when he finds a young man in the captain's cabin, hobbled, chained, and expecting the worst, the young man throws himself at Jalen sobbing in joy that one way or the other, he will be free. Jalen, horrified by the young man's condition, and the story he tells of how he came to be there, chooses to give the young man the ship that he has been a prisoner in for so long. Needing more crew, and finding those on the ship too tainted even for an honorable death at sea, Jalen takes them to Phaeon Ru, the isle to which he had sent Mirana twenty years before. Jalen knows that Trion, King of the Spira, and Mirana's father, lives in the deep caverns beneath the Isle, and hopes that Tr ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Robert M. Clark.

The Girl from Lamaha Street (eBook, ePUB)

Perhaps it's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Perhaps it's true that you only know what you truly love when you no longer have it. But I wouldn't have known any of this if I hadn't left it all behind to discover where my home truly was… Growing up in British Guiana in the 1950s, Sharon Maas has everything a shy child with a vivid imagination could wish for. She spends her days studying bugs in the backyard, eating fresh mangos straight from the tree and losing herself in books tucked up on her granny's lap. But with her father campaigning for Guiana's independence and her mother away from work, there's a void in Sharon's heart, and she craves rules and structure. The books she devours give her a glimpse of life in a faraway country: England. And although none of the characters in these books look like her, her insatiable curiosity leads Sharon to beg to be sent to boarding school. Life at a conservative, Christian school is quite different from Sharon's liberal, atheist upbringing. Girls march silently and single file along corridors and earn badges for deportment. There are twice-daily hymns, grace before and after meals, and mandatory bedside prayers. And, all the girls are posh and white, while Sharon is the only one with dark skin. Will she ever fulfil her dream of horseback riding over green hills and going on adventures like her literary heroes? And has she truly found what she was looking for in this chilly corner of the world, thousands of miles away from home? You will be swept off your feet by the unputdownable story of Sharon Maas' extraordinary childhood in British Guiana and England, a beautiful and inspiring coming of age tale of self-discovery, determination and chasing your dreams. Praise for Sharon Maas' previous books: 'Blew me away and I absolutely loved it… Oh my goodness me this was one seriously fantastically, heart wrenching tale… I became addicted… this book got to me more than any other book I have read… one hell of a fantastically brilliant book.'

This book is epic, a mesmerizing book of strength through unimaginable losses… Heartbreaking and beautifully written this is a gripping tale of bravery… One of the best and most memorable historical books I've ever read!' Deanne's Book Thoughts ¿¿¿¿¿ 'Wow! … Such a powerful story, so brilliantly narrated, in such a way that you feel part of it all and are left bereft when it is finished … I LOVED this story so much. So poignant and touching and heartbreaking … All the descriptions are so visceral and beautiful. I loved this book. I lived it…
