Desert Pawn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min
Desert Pawn is a contemporary, character-driven mystery that begins with the kidnapping of Mary Ann Berman, an American newlywed honeymooning with her husband, Dr. Daniel Berman, in Eilat, Israel. Shoshana Rich and Yonah Ferreres are the Shin Bet lead investigators who are charged to rescue Mary Ann and capture the perpetrators. In the backdrop of Israel's high stakes conflict with Palestinian fundamentalists, the investigators have many problems to solve. Who are the kidnappers? Is Mary Ann still alive, and if she is, where is she being held? What ransom are the kidnappers going to demand? Would Mary Ann's family or the United States break protocol and pay a ransom? The investigators are led through a series of twists and turns that involve the political and historical relationships between Israel, the United States, and the Hamas-led Palestinians. A turning point in the investigation occurs when Mary Ann's stepfather, Leo Fields, a Baptist minister and ardent supporter of Israel, arrives to assist in the investigation. He is personally drawn into a world he thought he had left behind. Following his arrival, the characters are swept into a world of intrigue, global politics, and revealed past truths. ungekürzt.

Beautiful Dreamer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min
Nevada is home to Hope Gardener; its rugged, majestic beauty a balm for the aches of her heart and spirit. But the cattle ranch she owns and loves is dying, thanks to the worst drought the area has ever seen. Hope needs a miracle or she will lose the land that has been in her family for generations. And then, the miracle appears on horseback. Rio is the stranger who rides into the Valley of the Sun. A loner, a gentler of horses, a cowboy out of time, an anachronism in the modern-day West, he brings with him a tantalizing promise of salvation: a reputation for finding water in any desert. As a woman alone in a harsh and unforgiving place, Hope knows the dangers of trusting such a free spirit. But she has no choice. A man who makes dreams real, who is as wild and unpredictable as the wind that propels him across the vast and open western landscape, Rio has never had a dream of his own to follow. Yet he finds something in this extraordinary lady whose passion tempts him to defy his own rules and stay. Suddenly, two independent souls must confront the perils and the truths that reside in the deepest, most closely guarded corners of their hearts...as in the midst of adversity they search for a beautiful dream big enough to hold them both. ungekürzt.

Jenny's Daughter , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min
Life on two continents.... Raised in depression-era California, Jaqi Wade's family life wasn't easy, but they managed. She married her marine at the end of WWII and set about making a home wherever life took them. She never imagined taking her three children to live in Brazil. No amount of studying could adequately prepare them to deal with the shock of life at a different pace - a different language, a different culture, a different system of measurement where a slight miscalculation could give you five pounds of ground beef instead of one. There was a lot of spaghetti that night. And always, there were those uma problemas, the "little problems", that were never really little. Jaqi saw the social changes in the United States during the '60s and '70s only as international headlines. When she returned home after 20 years in Brazil, she was utterly unprepared for the phenomenon of reverse culture shock in a land where the language had become strange and everything had changed. Meet Jenny, and spend some time getting to know her daughter, Jaqi, through her incredible adventures to Brazil and back again! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Pamela Wolken.
