The Bitches of Everafter: A Fairy Tale: The Everafter Trilogy, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min
From the author of the number one best-selling audiobook, Opal Fire, comes a brand new spellbinding trilogy inspired by fairy tale characters. These are not the mild-mannered maidens of your childhood. These are fallen princesses and fierce women with no recollection of who they are, where they came from, or how they arrived in a mysterious town called Everafter. All they know is that they've been sentenced to a stretch in a half-way house by a malicious judge with an ax to grind. They've been stripped of their freedom, their kingdoms, and their true loves. Now, they have nothing left to lose. Snow White is the newest parolee to arrive at Granny's House for Girls. It isn't long before she learns that her housemates harbor secrets, and that the mansion itself is a meandering enigma. She stumbles upon forbidden doorways, ghostly passages, and walls that seem to breathe. Determined to find out what's really happening inside those old walls, Snow embarks on a dangerous discovery mission. Not everyone is thrilled about her nosing around. In fact, there are some who would kill to keep the secrets that the house - and its occupants - hold. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin Fossa.

The Briley Brothers: The True Story of the Slaying Brothers: True Crime by Evil Killers, Book 8 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 136min
Richmond, Virginia. On the morning of October 19, 1979, parolee James Briley stood before a judge and vowed to quit the criminal life. That same day James met with his brothers, Linwood and Anthony, and 16-year-old neighbor Duncan Meekins. What they planned - and carried out - would make them American serial killer legends and reveal to police investigators a seven-month rampage of rape, robbery, and murder exceeding in brutality already documented cases of psychopaths, sociopaths, and sex criminals. As reported in this book, the Briley gang were responsible for the killing of 11 people (among them a five-year-old boy and his pregnant mother) but possibly as many as 20. Unlike most criminals, however, the Briley gang's break-ins and robberies were purely incidental - mere excuses for rape and vicious thrill kills. When authorities (aided by plea-bargaining Duncan Meekins) discovered the whole truth, even their tough skins crawled. Nothing in Virginian history approached the depravities, many of which were committed within miles of the Briley home, where single father James Sr. padlocked himself into his bedroom every night. But this true crime story did not end with the arrests and murder convictions of the Briley gang. Linwood, younger brother James, and six other Mecklenburg death-row inmates hatched an incredible plan of trickery and manipulation - and escaped from the "state-of-the-art" facility on May 31, 1984 - the biggest death-row break-out in American history. ungekürzt.

Olivia: My Life of Exile in Kalaupapa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 376min
Olivia: My Life of Exile in Kalaupapa, is a memoir by Hawaii's celebrated leprosy activist Olivia Robello Breitha (1916-2006). The Estate of Olivia Breitha is very pleased to now offer this audiobook version as a richly textured companion piece to the printed work. Olivia's memoir chronicles her personal and medical history from the age of 18, when she was first diagnosed with leprosy in 1930s Honolulu. Olivia reveals herself as she never felt she could about her more than seven decades of life as Hawai'i Department of Health parolee #3306. She writes with passion of her struggles and, by extension, the struggles of thousands of others, against centuries of stigma and fear. Like them she was the target of cruelty, disdain, and scorned as "lepers". Olivia realized that this hurtful word, like so many others, may never completely disappear from use. She also knew that it is extremely important to understand and expose the historical attitudes that have caused labels like this to be accepted in common parlance for far too long. Olivia has been gone from here since September 28, 2006. Her lifelong struggle with authority is over. But her mission to restore the rights of people suffering from this long-misunderstood condition continues. She was a complex woman who lived the life that was dealt to her, all 90 years of it. Through her thoughts and words, and the powerful narration of voice actor Deanna Espinas, you will discover how Olivia Robello Breitha met every challenge head on, the small and the immense. Instead of destroying her they transformed this child of Portuguese immigrants into the powerfully eloquent social activist she was always meant to be. ungekürzt. Language: English.
