This Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins | Audiobook

Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: This Will Be My Undoing Author: Morgan Jerkins Narrator: Morgan Jerkins Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Harper Audio Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Summary: From one of the fiercest critics writing today, Morgan Jerkins' highly anticipated collection of linked essays interweaves her incisive commentary on pop culture, feminism, black history, misogyny, and racism with her own experiences to confront the very real challenges of being a black woman today - perfect for fans of Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist, Rebecca Solnit's Men Explain Things to Me, and Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie's We Should All Be Feminists. Morgan Jerkins is only in her 20s, but she has already established herself as an insightful, brutally honest writer who isn't afraid of tackling tough, controversial subjects. In This Will Be My Undoing, she takes on perhaps one of the most provocative contemporary topics: What does it mean to "be" - to live as, to exist as - a black woman today? This is a book about black women, but it's necessary listening for all Americans. Doubly disenfranchised by race and gender, often deprived of a place within the mostly white mainstream feminist movement, black women are objectified, silenced, and marginalized, with devastating consequences, in ways both obvious and subtle that are rarely acknowledged in our country's larger discussion about inequality. In This Will Be My Undoing, Jerkins becomes both narrator and subject to expose the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences the black community as well as the white, male-dominated world at large. Whether she's writing about Sailor Moon; Rachel Dolezal; the stigma of therapy; her complex relationship with her own physical body; the pain of dating when men say they don't "see color"; being a black visitor in Russia; the specter of "the fast-tailed girl" and the paradox of black female sexuality; or disabled black women in the context of the "Black Girl Magic" movement, Jerkins is compelling and revelatory.

On the Frontlines of the Television War by Terry Irving - editor | Audiobook

Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: On the Frontlines of the Television War Author: Terry Irving - editor, Yasutsune Hirashiki Narrator: Tetsuro Shigemastsu, Eric Pollins Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Summary: On the Frontlines of the Television War is the story of Yasutsune "Tony" Hirashiki's 10 years in Vietnam - beginning when he arrived in 1966 as a young freelancer with a 16mm camera but without a job or the slightest grasp of English and ending in the hectic fall of Saigon in 1975 when he was literally thrown on one of the last flights out. His memoir has all the exciting tales of peril, hardship, and close calls as the best of battle memoirs but it is primarily a story of very real and yet remarkable people: the soldiers who fought, bled, and died, and the reporters and photographers who went right to the frontlines to record their stories and memorialize their sacrifice. The great books about Vietnam journalism have been about print reporters, still photographers, and television correspondents, but if this was truly the first "television war", then it is time to hear the story of the cameramen who shot the pictures and the reporters who wrote the stories that the average American witnessed daily in their living rooms. An award-winning sensation when it was released in Japan in 2008, this book been completely re-created for an international audience. In 2008, the Japanese edition was published by Kodansha in two hardback volumes and titled I Wanted to Be Capa. It won the 2009 Oya Soichi Nonfiction Award - a prize usually reserved for much younger writers - and Kodansha almost doubled their initial print run to meet the demand. In that period, he was interviewed extensively, a documentary was filmed in which he returned to the people and places of his wartime experience, and a dramatization of his book was written and presented on NHK Radio. A Kodansha paperback was published in 2010 with an initial printing of 17,000 copies and continues to sell at a respectable pace. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com

She endures numerous moves in the middle of the night with just minutes to pack, multiple changes in schools, hunger, cruelty, and loneliness. Finally at the age of 13, Shen had had enough. After being abandoned by her mother for months at her grandmother's retirement community, she asks to be put into foster care. Surely she would fare better at a stable home than living with her mother? It turns out that it was not the storybook ending she had hoped for. When a car accident lands her in the hospital with grave injuries and no one comes to visit her during her three-week stay, she realizes she is truly all alone in the world. Overcoming many adversities, Shen became part of the three percent of all foster care children who get into college, and the one percent who graduate. Despite her numerous achievements in life though, she still suffers from the long-term effects of neglect, and the coping skills that she adapted in her childhood are not always productive in her adult life. Garbage Bag Suitcase is not only the inspiring and hair-raising story of one woman's journey to overcome her desolate childhood, but it also presents grass-root solutions on how to revamp the broken foster care system.

There is her Ukrainian grandfather, who disappeared during World War II and reappeared without explanation 41 years later.

And there is her great-grandmother (was she really called Esther?) who was too old and frail to leave Kiev when the Jews there were ordered to leave and was brutally killed by the Nazis on the street. Taking the listener from Moscow to Kiev to Warsaw to Berlin and deep into archives, pieced-together conversations and memories, Maybe Esther is a journey into language, memory, philosophy, history and trauma and a singular, beautiful, unforgettable work of literature.

A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise by Sandra Allen | Audiobook

Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise Author: Sandra Allen Narrator: Sandra Allen, Pete Simonelli Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-18 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Summary: Dazzlingly, daringly written, marrying the thoughtful originality of Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts with the revelatory power of Neurotribes and The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, this propulsive, stunning book illuminates the experience of living with schizophrenia like never before. Sandra Allen did not know her uncle Bob very well. As a child, she had been told he was "crazy", that he had spent time in mental hospitals while growing up in Berkeley in the '60s and '70s. But Bob had lived a hermetic life in a remote part of California for longer than she had been alive, and what little she knew of him came from rare family reunions or odd, infrequent phone calls. Then in 2009 Bob mailed her his autobiography. Typewritten in all caps, a stream of error-riddled sentences over 60 single-spaced pages, the often incomprehensible manuscript proclaimed to be a "true story" about being "labeled a psychotic paranoid schizophrenic" and arrived with a plea to help him get his story out to the world. In A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise, Allen translates her uncle's autobiography, artfully creating a gripping coming-of-age story while sticking faithfully to the facts as he shared them. Lacing Bob's narrative with chapters providing greater contextualization, Allen also shares background information about her family, the culturally explosive time and place of her uncle's formative years, and the vitally important questions surrounding schizophrenia and mental health care in America more broadly. The result is a heartbreaking and sometimes hilarious portrait of a young man striving for stability in his life as well as his mind and an utterly unique lens into an experience that, to most people, remains unimaginable.

It's strange that there is a first time to see the sky, a first time to see the sun, a first time to feel the air against one's skin. It's strange that there is a first time to see a face, a tree, a lamp, pajamas, a shoe. In my life it almost never happens anymore. But soon it will. In just a few months, I will see you for the first time. In Winter, we rejoin the great Karl Ove Knausgaard as he waits for the birth of his daughter. In preparation for her arrival, he takes stock of the world, seeing it as if for the first time. In his inimitably sensitive style, he writes about the moon, water, messiness, owls, birthdays - to name just a handful of his subjects. These oh-so-familiar objects and ideas he fills with new meaning, taking nothing for granted or as given. New life is on the horizon, but the earth is also in hibernation, waiting for the warmer weather to return, and so a contradictory melancholy inflects his gaze. Startling, compassionate, and exquisitely beautiful, Knausgaard's writing is like nothing else. Somehow, he shows the world as it really is, at once mundane and sublime.

L'incontro con Adolf Hitler, l'uomo più potente della Germania nazista, condizionò la sua esistenza e tutte e sue scelte. Eva nutrì per il Fuhrer un amore incondizionato, nonostante lui la tenesse lontana da Berlino e dalla sua vita politica e si rifiutasse di prenderla in moglie o anche solo di mostrarsi pubblicamente insieme a lei. Eppure Eva scelse sempre di mettere il suo amore davanti a ogni cosa; alla fine della guerra, mentre il mondo scopriva gli aberranti crimini compiuti per volere del suo amante, pur potendo fuggire, Eva scelse di seguire Hitler fino alla fine, e di condividere con lui il suo destino di morte. La vita di Eva Braun resta sospesa tra luci e ombre, tra cieco amore e follia, che lacerano la figura di questa donna che fu una vittima ma anche una silente complice della pazzia di Adolf Hitler. Questo audioBook racconta le vicende della vita di Eva Braun e la contestualizza nel periodo storico in cui visse, che come sappiamo, fu tra i più bui del ventesimo secolo. È inoltre arricchito da contributi originali rinvenuti dopo la seconda guerra mondiale. ©2017 GOODmood (P)2017 GOODmood Contatto: info@hotaudiobook.com

She had survived both a diagnosis of lupus and brain surgery, had a fulfilling career, and was married at last to the love of her life. Everything was good as she coasted along, meeting the eyes of a truck driver as he approached the stop sign beside her. He didn't stop. The truck hit Colleen, running over her lower body with front and back tires and dragging her across the pavement. As she bled out in the street, nearby strangers surrounded her and the driver attempted to get away. An EMT herself, Colleen knew she had to stay awake. "I've just been reconnected with my soulmate", she told the medic. "We want to have a baby. I can't die now. Please don't let me die." Five weeks in a coma and 29 surgeries later, Colleen survived. Rather than let the trauma and PTSD control her life, she became determined to find a way to make something positive from her pain. She decided she'd run again and dedicate her race medals to the everyday heroes around us, including the medical staff and blood donors who saved her life. Since then Colleen has run 50 races and completed 40 triathlons, including four half-Ironman events. Now a spokesperson for the Red Cross, Colleen shares her incredible inspirational story to encourage others to take that first step forward.

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Summary: In 1957, Melba Beals was one of the nine African American students chosen to integrate Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.

While her white schoolmates were planning their senior prom, Melba was facing the business end of a double-barreled shotgun, being threatened with lynching by rope-carrying tormentors, and learning how to outrun white supremacists who were ready to kill her rather than sit beside her in a classroom.

In I Will Not Fear, Beals takes listeners on an unforgettable journey through terror, oppression, and persecution, highlighting the kind of faith needed to survive in a world full of heartbreak and anger. She shows how the deep faith we develop during our most difficult moments is the kind of faith that can change our families, our communities, and even the world.

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Summary: When Rick Van Warner found himself searching abandoned buildings and dangerous streets looking for his missing son, he had no idea that the synthetic, pill-form heroin that had snared his teen was already killing so many. In the years of pain and heartache that followed, as he tried to save his son from opioid addiction, Van Warner discovered what the American public is just now becoming aware of: Opioids prescribed for even minor pain relief are so addictive that even a few days of use can create dependency. On Pills and Needles is a memoir that also serves as a wake-up call and crash course in opioid addiction. Through his harrowing personal story, Van Warner exposes the common causes of opioid addiction, effective and ineffective ways it has been treated, and how families can walk alongside loved ones who are dealing with the daily realities of addiction.

Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy - only keeping her from meeting her goals - she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year. The Year of Less documents Cait's life for 12 months during which she bought only consumables: groceries, toiletries, gas for her car. Along the way, she challenged herself to consume less of many other things besides shopping. She decluttered her apartment and got rid of 70 percent of her belongings; learned how to fix things rather than throw them away; researched the zero-waste movement; and completed a television ban. At every stage, she learned that the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt. Blending Cait's compelling story with inspiring insight and practical guidance, The Year of Less will leave you questioning what you're holding on to in your own life - and, quite possibly, lead you to find your own path of less.

It was 1928: a time of illicit booze, of Gatsby and Babe Ruth, of freewheeling fun. The Great War was over, and American optimism was higher than the stock market. What better moment to launch an expedition to Antarctica, the planet's final frontier? This was the moon landing before the 1960s. Everyone wanted to join the adventure. Rockefellers and Vanderbilts begged to be taken along as mess boys, and newspapers across the globe covered the planning's every stage. The night before the expedition's flagship launched, Billy Gawronski - a skinny, first-generation New York City high schooler desperate to escape a dreary future in the family upholstery business - jumped into the Hudson River and snuck aboard. Could he get away with it? From the grimy streets of New York's Lower East Side to the rowdy dance halls of sultry Francophone Tahiti, all the way to Antarctica's blinding white and deadly freeze, Laurie Gwen Shapiro's The Stowaway takes you on the unforgettable voyage of a gutsy young stowaway who became an international celebrity, a mascot for an up-by-your-bootstraps age.

Never Complete: Becoming Who We Were Meant to Be by David Schaub | Audiobook

Listen to full audiobooks for free on : https://hotaudiobook.com/free Title: Never Complete: Becoming Who We Were Meant to Be Author: David Schaub Narrator: David Schaub Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-18 Publisher: David Schaub Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Summary: Do you feel overwhelmed most of the time? Do you feel like your heart is heavy and weighed down more often than not? Or maybe youre like me, where youre an overly optimistic person but still have some things to work on. Either way, whether we are depressed, hurting, or experiencing real joy in our life, we all have a next step to take. This audiobook truly is for everyone. We dont need to arrive at a dead-end road to realize we have a next step to take in our lives. Whats a next step? Its when we move forward with something that is going to bring us into greater freedom and purpose in our lives. We all have a next step to take, whether we are 18, 38, 58, or 108. If we arent dead, God is still using us. From growing up fatherless, to being arrested four times before I was 20 years old, to being a successful business owner making six figures and buying my first home by the time I was 24, I have been grateful and empowered by every challenge thrown at me. This audiobook is the story of every next step I took. Heres the thing, though; my next step wasnt always an outward movement. Most of my next steps were inward, releasing and then receiving something new that made me who I am today. Who we are becoming is way more important than what we are doing. When we know who we are and what we were created to do, our next step just naturally happens. I talk all about this in my audiobook. I ask questions people just dont seem to ask. I dont want to fix the symptom. I want to help fix the root of the problems we are having. Most of us dont know who we are outside of our jobs, college degrees, and relationships. Take those three things away; who are you? Most people Ive met cant answer that question. In this audiobook, youll learn: I hope you join me on this journey of taking next steps, so we can change ourselves and the world one next step at a time. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
