In Limbo: An Immigrant Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 437min
Her dream had become reality: married to her lover, living in a luxurious home on the California coast where her sons would have opportunities that did not exist in her native Croatia, green card in hand so she could teach. Then it all fell apart: the unbridgeable rifts between her and her husband, having to live on her own in a country she barely knew, and, most terrifying, the discovery that her sons were technically in the country illegally and could be deported at a moment's notice. In Limbo: An Immigrant's Journey is the moving story of one woman's struggle to make the United States her home. It is the story of love found and lost, then found again. It is the story of hope, despair, and, then again, hope. Based on the actual experiences of its author, In Limbo: An Immigrant's Journey navigates the deep and at times treacherous waters of human relationships, and takes us into the frightening and indifferent harbours of government bureaucracy. In Limbo: An Immigrant's Journey has special relevance in today's world where illegal immigration is such a controversial issue. Julija Suput presents the voice of the unheard: families whose members are documented, others who cannot speak out, fearful that if they do, they will bring about the very situation they wish to avoid, the breakup of their families. ungekürzt.

Purpose: An Immigrant's Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 541min
Wyclef Jean is one of the most influential voices in hip-hop. He rocketed to fame in the 1990s with the Fugees, whose multiplatinum album, The Score, would prove a landmark in music history, winning two Grammys and going on to become one of the best-selling hip-hop albums of all time. In Purpose, Wyclef recounts his path to fame from his impoverished childhood in "Baby Doc" Duvalier's Haiti and the mean streets of Brooklyn and Newark to the bright lights of the world stage. The son of a pastor and grandson of a Vodou priest, Wyclef was born and raised in the slums of Haiti, moving with his family to New York when he was nine. He lived in Brooklyn's notorious Marlboro projects until his father, Gesner Jean, took them to Newark, where he converted a burnt-out funeral home into a house for his family and a church for his congregation. But life in New Jersey was no easier for Wyclef, who found it hard to shake his refugee status. Forced to act as a literal and cultural translator for his parents while still trying to master English himself, Wyclef soon learned that fitting in would be a constant struggle. He made his way by competing in "freestyle" rap battles, eventually becoming the best MC in his school. At the same time, Wyclef was singing in his father's choir and learning multiple instruments while also avidly exploring funk, rock, reggae, and jazz - an experience that would forever shape his sound. When Wyclef chose to pursue a career in music over attending theological school, Gesner, who hated rap, nearly disowned him, creating a gulf between father and son that would take nearly a decade to bridge. Within a few short years, Wyclef would catapult to international renown with the Fugees. In Purpose he details for the first time ever the inside story of the group: their rise and fall, and his relationships with Pras and Lauryn Hill. Wyclef also looks back with candor at the catastrophic earthquake that struck H ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sam Jean.
