THE WAY I HEARD IT Audiobook Excerpt

The brilliant coming-of-age-and-into-superstardom story of one of the greatest artists of all time, in his own words&mdash;featuring never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets, and the exquisite memoir he began writing before his tragic death Prince was a musical genius, one of the most beloved, accomplished, and acclaimed musicians of our time. He was a startlingly original visionary with an imagination deep enough to whip up whole worlds, from the sexy, gritty funk paradise of &ldquo;Uptown&rdquo; to the mythical landscape of Purple Rain to the psychedelia of &ldquo;Paisley Park.&rdquo; But his most ambitious creative act was turning Prince Rogers Nelson, born in Minnesota, into Prince, one of the greatest pop stars of any era. The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince&mdash;a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. The book is told in four parts. The first is the memoir Prince was writing before his tragic death, pages that bring us into his childhood world through his own lyrical prose. The second part takes us through Prince&rsquo;s early years as a musician, before his first album was released, via an evocative scrapbook of writing and photos. The third section shows us Prince&rsquo;s evolution through candid images that go up to the cusp of his greatest achievement, which we see in the book&rsquo;s fourth section: his original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain&mdash;the final stage in Prince&rsquo;s self-creation, where he retells the autobiography of the first three parts as a heroic journey. The book is framed by editor Dan Piepenbring&rsquo;s riveting and moving introduction about his profound collaboration with Prince in his final months&mdash;a time when Prince was thinking deeply about how to reveal more of himself and his ideas to the world, while retaining the mystery and mystique he&rsquo;d so carefully cultivated&mdash;and annotations that provide context to the book&rsquo;s images. This work is not just a tribute to an icon, but an original and energizing literary work in its own right, full of Prince&rsquo;s ideas and vision, his voice and image&mdash;his undying gift to the world.

The groundbreaking speeches of Greta Thunberg, the young climate activist who has become the voice of a generation, including her historic address to the United Nations&#160; In August 2018 a fifteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, decided not to go to school one day in order to protest the climate crisis.

Collecting her speeches that have made history across the globe, from the United Nations to Capitol Hill and mass street protests, her book is a rallying cry for why we must all wake up and fight to protect the living planet, no matter how powerless we feel.

Brought to you by Penguin.

This is Madness' story in their own words - with each band member featuring as a narrator. This audiobook features snippets of 13 rehearsal recordings including some of the band’s best-loved songs, as well as featuring a new bonus track, ‘Before We Was We’. 

In their own words they each look back on their shared adventures. Playing music together, riding freight trains, spraying graffiti and stealing records. Walking in one another's footsteps by day and rising up through the city's exploding pub music scene by night. Before We Was We is irreverent, funny and full of character. Just like them.

Listen to an excerpt of Therese Anne Fowler's A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD audiobook, read by Adenrele Ojo.

In Oak Knoll, a verdant, tight-knit North Carolina neighborhood, professor of forestry and ecology Valerie Alston-Holt is raising her bright and talented biracial son. Xavier is headed to college in the fall, and after years of single parenting, Valerie is facing the prospect of an empty nest. All is well until the Whitmans move in next door—an apparently traditional family with new money, ambition, and a secretly troubled teenaged daughter.

Thanks to his thriving local business, Brad Whitman is something of a celebrity around town, and he's made a small fortune on his customer service and charm, while his wife, Julia, escaped her trailer park upbringing for the security of marriage and homemaking. Their new house is more than she ever imagined for herself, and who wouldn't want to live in Oak Knoll?

But with little in common except a property line, these two very different families quickly find themselves at odds: first, over an historic oak tree in Valerie's yard, and soon after, the blossoming romance between their two teenagers. Told in multiple points of view, A Good Neighborhood asks big questions about life in America today  —  what does it mean to be a good neighbor? How do we live alongside each other when we don't see eye to eye?  —  as it explores the effects of class, race, and heartrending star-crossed love in a story that’s as provocative as it is powerful.

THE DEEP Audiobook Excerpt

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor. Lilibet. Princess. Her Royal Highness. Queen Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, the Queen of Great Britain and Head of the Commonwealth, Her Other Realms, and Territories. Defender of the Faith. Her Majesty. Daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. No matter her title or role, Queen Elizabeth II reflects a public integrity born of personal faith.

Bridging the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, modernity and post-modernity,

Her Majesty credits her personal faith in God and belief in Christ as her anchor amid the many storms, both public and private, she has endured. With humility, dignity, and a keen sense of her own humanity, Queen Elizabeth models a blend of historical tradition and entrepreneurial initiative, public service and private devotion. As a result, she has become an icon of stability, longevity, and integrity.

Now at the height of her popularity, the longest reigning British monarch continues to touch countless lives. In addition to her public appearances, speeches, and annual Christmas broadcasts, her life has inspired Academy Award-winning films such as The Queen (2006) as well as the wildly popular Netflix original series The Crown, currently filming its third season for anticipated release in 2019

The program, like the very public life of the world's most famous woman, makes it clear that the Queen's life is more challenging than we might expect. While we might be tempted to assume a life of wealth and luxury ensures happiness, freedom, and fulfillment, this is not necessarily the case. For a reigning monarch bound by duty, framed by history, and compelled by God to serve, the role requires tremendous sacrifice. Particularly in the technical evolution of a postmodern world, the British monarchy could easily have become as defunct as a horse-drawn carriage or the red telephone box.

Instead, Queen Elizabeth has cultivated a consistency of character dependent on a deep personal Christian faith that fuels her wise servant leadership. Balancing grit and grace with down-to-earth dignity, Her Majesty often returns to themes of forgiveness and compassion directly based on the example of Jesus. In 1985 she said, "The story of the Good Samaritan reminds us of our duty to our neighbor. We should try to follow Christ's clear instruction at the end of that story 'Go and do thou likewise.'"

Now serving for more than six decades, the Queen has endured wars and battles both public and personal, political and private. Through economic upheavals, national tragedies and international crises, over a dozen Prime Ministers, and the tabloid travails of her children and grandchildren, Queen Elizabeth has remained the calm, steady hand at the wheel. And through all her travails and triumphs, this notoriously private woman and dignified monarch has always credited God and her faith in Him as the source of her strength.

Each of the ten chapters will focus on an encouraign faith lesson from Queen Elizabeth's life and include a testimonly from an historic figure (such as Winston Churchill, Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, Margaret Thatcher, etc.), a key Bible verse, a key take away for readers, a personal example from the Queen's life shoig the faith lesson, as well as a quotation from the Queen herself.

"I know just how much I rely on my faith to guide me through the good times and the bad. Each day is a new beginning. I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings and to put my trust in God."

--Queen Elizabeth II, Christmas Broadcast, 2002

Sandra’s Hands is a true personal story written by a young teacher responding to the challenge of educating children who have been severely traumatized by violence. The book describes events in the life of Paul Berg between the years of 1966 and 1976, beginning with Berg’s service in the Vietnam War and following his life as he returns to America. Berg struggles to adjust to civilian life, becomes a Bureau of Indian Affairs teacher, and encounters another war on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. 

In 1973 tensions on the reservation exploded and culminated in the 72-day siege of the village of Wounded Knee. Berg finds himself drawn into the conflict as he strives to provide quality education to his students. One of his students, a young Lakota woman named Sandra Woundedfoot, changes his life and would forever change the lives of thousands of people on the reservation. Sandra’s Hands provides one of the most accurate accounts of the conflict that took place on the Pine Ridge Reservation during the 1970s.

THE NARCISSIST IN YOUR LIFE by Julie L. Hall Read by Rosanne Rubino - Audiobook Excerpt

Read by Mitch Albom

The audio is read by the author with the actual voice of and songs sung by Chika featured throughout.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tuesdays With Morrie comes Mitch Albom's most personal story to date: an intimate and heartwarming memoir about what it means to be a family and the young Haitian orphan whose short life would forever change his heart.

Chika Jeune was born three days before the devastating earthquake that decimated Haiti in 2010. She spent her infancy in a landscape of extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth to a baby brother, Chika was brought to The Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Albom operates in Port Au Prince.

With no children of their own, the forty-plus children who live, play, and go to school at the orphanage have become family to Mitch and his wife, Janine. Chika's arrival makes a quick impression. Brave and self-assured, even as a three-year-old, she delights the other kids and teachers. But at age five, Chika is suddenly diagnosed with something a doctor there says, "No one in Haiti can help you with."

Mitch and Janine bring Chika to Detroit, hopeful that American medical care can soon return her to her homeland. Instead, Chika becomes a permanent part of their household, and their lives, as they embark on a two-year, around-the-world journey to find a cure. As Chika's boundless optimism and humor teach Mitch the joys of caring for a child, he learns that a relationship built on love, no matter what blows it takes, can never be lost.

Told in hindsight, and through illuminating conversations with Chika herself, this is Albom at his most poignant and vulnerable. Finding Chika is a celebration of a girl, her adoptive guardians, and the incredible bond they formed—a devastatingly beautiful portrait of what it means to be a family, regardless of how it is made.

FINDING CHIKA by Mitch Albom

New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose returns with a new thriller in her chilling Cincinnati series.&#160; Michael Rowland is not your typical teenager. Deaf from birth, he&rsquo;s always looked out for his five-year-old brother, Joshua. When his stepfather comes after Joshua, Michael takes the child and runs. He&rsquo;s determined to protect his brother at all costs, even if that means making himself vulnerable to a danger he can&rsquo;t hear coming. And the danger intensifies when Michael witnesses a stranger kill his stepfather. Desperate and afraid, the boys have nowhere else to go but to Joshua&rsquo;s soccer coach, journalist and ex-Army ranger Diesel Kennedy. When Diesel sees that Michael is injured, he takes them to see Dr. Dani Novak&mdash;not only because she&rsquo;s fluent in American Sign Language, but because he&rsquo;s drawn to her and everything she stands for. She never refuses Diesel&rsquo;s requests&mdash;because she, too, feels their connection&mdash;but she resists him for reasons she doesn&rsquo;t want to confess.

Into the Dark by Karen Rose, read by Hillary Huber

Brought to you by Penguin.

The magical new novel from the bestselling author of The Night Circus.

Zachary Ezra Rawlins is a graduate student in Vermont when he discovers a strange book hidden in the library stacks. As he turns the pages, entranced by tales of lovelorn prisoners, key collectors, and nameless acolytes, he reads something strange: a story from his own childhood. Bewildered by this inexplicable book and desperate to make sense of how his own life came to be recorded, Zachary uncovers a series of clues – a bee, a key and a sword – that lead him to a masquerade party in New York, to a secret club, and through a doorway to a subterranean library, hidden far below the surface of the earth.

What Zachary finds in this curious place is more than just a buried home for books and their guardians – it is a place of lost cities and seas, lovers who pass notes under doors and across time, and of stories whispered by the dead. Zachary learns of those who have sacrificed much to protect this realm, relinquishing their sight and their tongues to preserve this archive, and also those who are intent on its destruction.

Together with Mirabel, a fierce, pink-haired protector of the place, and Dorian, a handsome barefoot man with shifting alliances, Zachary travels the twisting tunnels, darkened stairwells, crowded ballrooms, and sweetly-soaked shores of this magical world, discovering his purpose – in both the mysterious book and in his own life.
