  Greenpoint Doughboy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 568min

  When Irish immigrant Alex McKay is interviewed by a reporter in 1911, McKay cheerfully relates that America has given his family everything. This historical novel, based on a true story during WW1, shows how the McKays of Greenpoint, Brooklyn stood tall with America and paid the ultimate price of citizenship.  Greenpoint Doughboy, written by McKay descendent Peter McHale, shows you the many sacrifices Alex, his wife, and their four children make during World War I.  The Great War rages in Europe, and the McKays are all eager to do their part. Alex’s son John McKay, at the age of 21, joins the Fighting Irish 69th Infantry Regiment of New York City. During basic training in Manhattan, John befriends Dick O’Neil, a young man with a bright future, and Daniel Buckley, an Irish soldier with a tragic past. The three will face enormous challenges as they cross the Atlantic and join the fighting in Lorraine. Not everyone will make it out alive.  McHale takes you from the bustle and vibrant city life in the Brooklyn Irish community to the muck- and death-filled trenches of France. His story paints a vivid portrait of one family’s loyalty and love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Seth Paul.

  Over There: A Doughboy in France 1918 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min

  My father's notebook, kept carefully throughout his World War One service, is a treasured family keepsake. It was, however, rarely actually read, much less consulted for its first-hand account of his experiences on the Western Front. We all knew the basics, that he had been on the front lines on Armistice Day, November 11, 1918, and had recorded that fact. I transcribed that day's moving entry a few years back, and sent it to each of his grandchildren. With the approach of the centennial of World War One, and America's entry in 1917, it seemed the right time to take a closer look at the notebook. I am glad that I did. It was written in pencil, but fortunately, during a period of convalescence, Dad had gone over much of it with pen and ink. He had also supplemented his notebook entries with more broadly focused memos, which gave depth and context to his earlier notebook entries, when the writer was mindful of security restrictions. Gradually, as the weeks passed, the handwriting became more familiar. The outlines of the story, how Dad enlisted, trained at Fort Devens, Massachusetts with his 301st Signal Corps Field Battalion, and then went to France were becoming familiar. The larger story was fascinating, including their naval convoy across the U-Boat infested North Atlantic, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Great Britain, and passage across the Channel. Then came the eastward movement through a rail and training network largely laid out by General Pershing in 1917 across France to the eastern sector, which was to become the American Sector, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, Lorraine. That is where Dad's journey led, to an isolated and rocky hill on the Moselle named Mousson Hill, and combat with the American Sixth Corps. It was the time of the St. Mihiel Salient, and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: B.Z. Kelly.

  Sweet Maple Murder: A Detective Flood Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 20min

  Flood enjoys time at the sauna his architect friend built at his house, but this time the heat won’t soothe all the hurts. There’s a tragedy, and it’s not just men past their prime slowly marinating in a room just a hair bigger than a closet. A man is dead and Flood, who still can’t figure out if he’s a detective or if he’s just nosy, is certain it’s no accident. Can the detective see through the steam (sorry about that…we couldn’t resist) and make sense of the situation or will murderers get away with it?  This short story has mature content including violence and mature language. Adults should use discretion when deciding if it is appropriate for children in their care.  Here is a preview:“It was Edward’s idea. Then he convinced Debenham.”“And Doughboy?”Sugar made a face that made him look like a scowling Mandarin. “Don’t like it. Thinks it’s a nitwit idea.”“Can they go ahead without him?”Sugar shrugged. “Dunno. I know they got the dough. Sap City’s done nothing over the last five years but go to the bank. Thing is, no one but the trio know how they have the financials set up.” He hesitated. “I think they’re working through their differences.”If they were, it wasn’t showing around the sauna house. When Doughboy came back from the pool, Edwards slapped his partner’s ample ass and said, “You shoulda had the heart attack in the water that you deserve, make Chris’ and my life easier.”“My ass! You like to slap it, how about giving it a kiss?”“Going in that water. I’ve never been down there all the times I been here. And I never will. What a dumbass deal! I’d rather roll in the snow.” With a growl of annoyance, Edwards bounded up like a hunting feline and banged out of the sauna room to join Debenham, who stood steaming in the snow. ungekürzt.
