Title: Touching the World of Angels
Subtitle: How My Daughter's Short Life Changed Mine
Author: Seth Clyman
Narrator: Rob Roy
Format: Unabridged
Length: 2 hrs and 36 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-10-13
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
Grief-stricken father Seth Clyman spent seven days mourning the loss of his two-month-old daughter - the seven days of shivah in the Jewish religion - questioning the meaning of life as he tried to come to terms with his infant daughter's death. As friends and family came to pay their respects, Seth felt as though he was falling into a black hole - weakened, humbled, and exposed, he spent those seven days examining a world he never knew existed. But when Seth emerged on the last day, something had shifted. He was a different person, a man who had the profound realization that death is actually the way one looks at life - death is not just an end, but also a beginning. Weaving together thought-provoking parables, anecdotes from the author's past, and poignant Judaic teachings, Touching the World of Angels is a moving, raw story of one man's spiritual journey to make sense of his loss and to find the courage to gain a richer understanding of the world beyond this one.
Editorial Reviews:
For a parent, there is nothing more devastating than losing your child. Seth Clyman's daughter was barely two months old when she was taken from him. In this heartbreaking yet inspirational memoir, Clyman recounts his journey from sitting shiva and being in the darkest pit of despair to his reemergence toward a state of understanding. Performed with a warm and compassionate voice by veteran narrator Rob Roy, Touching the World of Angels combines Judaic teachings and personal anecdotes to form a poignant look at how one can deal with a great tragedy.

Publisher's Summary:
Today I spoke with a dead woman. Or rather, she spoke to me and I listened. To be more specific, today a dead woman spoke to me, through a medium of sorts. Not a psychic. The woman who brought the dead woman to life, was an actress. Not just any actress, but a magnificently talented one. Perhaps I should explain.

In the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Sean Conrad experiences the ups and downs of having just too damn much fun - and the consequences that come with it. From hanging out with rock stars to being homeless... and back again. From Porsches to the potholes of life. From scribbling autographs to signing divorce papers. Can there possibly be a happy ending?

Title: The Day After He Left for Iraq
Subtitle: A Story of Love, Family, and Reunion
Author: Melissa Seligman
Narrator: Suzie Venable
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins
Language: English
Release date: 02-28-13
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
Melissa Seligman is something rare in the world of military families - a military wife who is also a beautiful writer. Here she describes her feelings as she watches her husband walk away from her and her newborn, knowing full well that he might not return from the war in Iraq. She experiences saying goodbye twice - both times he left when their children were still infants. While hes away from home again, Melissa struggles to remember the goodness of her husband and the joy of their life together. Working hard to raise a baby and a four-year old, Melissa tells of the heartbreak and desperation she experiences at home. She watches her daughter clutch a G.I. Joe doll shes named "Little Daddy", and wonders if the family will make it through.
Hers is a story of sadness and strength, desperation and hope, displacement and unity. Its a story that anyone left behind (and we have all been left behind) will respond to, one that, unfortunately, is becoming more and more common as the war in Iraq continues. This is a work of timely and powerful nonfiction by a significant new author.
Editorial Reviews:
In The Day After He Left for Iraq, Melissa Seligman documents a painful moment in the life of military families: when a husband leaves his wife and children to go to war. Suzie Venable's tear-jerking, emotional performance beautifully describes the soul-crushing day Seligman's husband was deployed, and the struggles this brave wife endured to raise her new baby and four-year-old alone, accompanied only by the fear her husband may never return. A tale of strength through adversity, The Day After He Left for Iraq serves as an inspiration for every American who loves their country, and their family, too.

Language: English
Release date: 05-31-12
Publisher: Ardent Audio Productions
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
His hand gripped my bicycle seat as he ran alongside me that warm summer day. Even though he was young and strong, he was breathing heavily, keeping me upright while we made our way down the street.
"Don't let go me go, Daddy," I said as I concentrated on steadying myself.
"I won't let go of you, honey; not until you can do it on your own."
My father spoke in short breaths as his feet kept the same pace on the ground as my feet on the bike pedals. I was scared, but with my father by my side I felt safe and protected, and I knew that one day I would do this on my own. With my father by my side, I knew that he always would be there to pick me up, hold me upright, and make everything okay.
I want to share my Dad, Joe Romano, with you and what a wonderful father he was-such a character! For a life so large, no words will ever be enough, but I dedicate to him on this March 14th - his birthday - these memories and all my love.
And I wish you too, dear listener, inner peace and a life filled with love.

Title: Bobbys Book
Author: Emily Haas Davidson, Bobby Powers
Narrator: Graham Halstead
Format: Unabridged
Length: 4 hrs and 58 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-10-13
Publisher: Audible Studios
Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
In 1998, at the very moment that a publisher had approached Bruce Davidson about a book of his 1959 Brooklyn Gang photographs, former gang leader Bobby Powers unexpectedly telephoned the Davidsons.
Over the next decade, Emily Davidson maintained an ongoing conversation with Powers in order to bring to light his struggle to overcome his drug-ridden and violent past and to inspire others with his example.
Through the words and reflections of the former drug addict and petty criminal, this book relates the long, agonizing journey from youthful urban violence and despair to the life of a committed and generous professional. Beginning in a working-class Brooklyn neighborhood in the mid-1950s where alcohol abuse and poverty were rampant, Bobby Powers went from being an illiterate gang leader and notorious drug dealer to a destroyed individual who had lost everything, including family members, close friends, and himself, all presented in his own words and in grim detail in this book. At a critical turning point in his life, recognizing the threat of his behaviors to survival, he entered detox and embarked on the arduous path to recovery and self-understanding. This process involved not only acknowledging and coming to terms with the injuries he had inflicted on his children and others, but also asking for their forgiveness.
Having achieved a new way of life as a responsible and caring adult, Bobby Powers is today, at 69, a nationally respected drug addiction counselor who has aided a wide spectrum of people, including former gang members. His story represents a brutal and inspiring lesson in human frailty, degradation, and transformation.

Title: Obituary
Subtitle: Nelee Langmuir, Hidden Child of the Holocaust
Author: Peter Menkin
Narrator: Christy Lynn
Format: Unabridged
Length: 49 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-25-13
Publisher: Peter Menkin
Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
Before Nelee Langmuir's death in Summer, 2010, her daughter wrote of her mother's experience as a Hidden Child. She wrote of it 2005, September 3 and Debra Wanner in so doing added her voice as a new generation to her mother's story. Here she serves as an introduction to the condensed narrative that follows of Nelee's oral history that tells of her remembrance of that time in her childhood, and that of her sister's, when through the help of good people in France, she and her sister escaped from the German Nazi occupiers who would have otherwise sent them to a death camp from France.
Nelee's complete video narrative is comprised as an interview this writer viewed at the Holocaust Center of Northern California, San Francisco as set up for the screen by their archivist Judith Janec. The more than three hour monologue of memory is an interview punctuated with thoughtful questions by Peter Ryan and Elizabeth Ryan. Nelee's face is seen throughout the remembrance; voices of the interviewers come to audio only from time to time.
Nelee is moved deeply in a visible sense from time to time throughout the talk of her own Hidden Child experience, and it shows that she is a woman of strength and intelligence, as she apparently was, too, as a childAs her sister must have been too And in addition, as her parents were, as they, too, were flexible and resourceful human beings.

Title: The Oilman's Daughter

Narrator: Evan Ratliff
Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr and 24 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-20-13
Publisher: The Atavist
Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
What would you do if you were given the opportunity to become another person - one whose life promised to be more glamorous and prosperous than your own? That was the question posed to Judith Patterson when, at age 33, she met the birth mother who had given her up for adoption as a child and who now revealed to her an extraordinary secret. Patterson, her mother told her, was the illegitimate daughter of a Texas oil mogul, one of the most powerful businessmen in the country in his day.
The news sent Patterson on a two-decade search for the truth about her identity - and part of the fortune she believed she was owed. The only problem was that someone else had gotten to it first.
Patterson's pursuit of the truth would grow into an obsessive personal quest laced with love, deception, and danger. In The Oilman's Daughter, author Evan Ratliff sets out to untangle a family drama that raises questions about the durability of identity, the slipperiness of truth, and the ways that greed can turn even the closest relatives into strangers.

Title: La Dolce Vita
Author: Herb Baron
Narrator: John Pether
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 39 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-19-13
Publisher: Herb Baron
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
I wrote La Dolce Vita to fulfill a promise I made to the woman I loved with all my heart for sixty years and continue to love until the end of time.
In writing this, I discovered myself. I learned who I am. I learned about selfless devotion. I learned that my life is truly a story. I had to read La Dolce Vita many times to convince myself that I actually wrote it and that my life was exciting and adventurous.
The material is fairly universal. There's a war story, one of the most factual and personal ever told; there's a war-related illness that took a lovely angel to cure. There is' academic therapy', quite demanding but rewarding - a message to the young. Mostly, there is a precious love affair that survived it all and brought us heaven out of hell. What survives this crucible of life is contained herein. I hope you enjoy sharing my journey and will benefit from my insights.

As I was driving, the dog-tags swung from my rearview mirror. I started to wonder, had it all been worth it? All the lies, the manipulation, and the hurt that would break him, just as it had broken me, if he had ever found out. I took one last glance out my rearview mirror, as the bluffs faded away behind the hill. There it goes, the life I had, that I will never have again: The friends, the enemies, and the pain. On to the next chapter in my life. The road was winding into the distance and some rumbling thunderstorms lay ahead. My future is unknown, but hopefully my past will fade with time, but then again, scars rarely do

"For someone who could not talk or see or walk, he made a big splash."
As gifted as he was challenged, this moving, inspiring audiobook tells the story of Ezra and the family that loved him. Born two months premature, Ezra suffered permanent brain damage. His parents ignored the forewarnings of doctors and welcomed their son openheartedly into their lives for the seventeen years they had together. Penned by his courageous mother, Ezra is as much about its narrator as it is about its subject. As Elliston explains, "Ezra and I are inevitably intermingled. Our boundaries blur."
Beyond ensuring that the memory of her beautiful son will continue to glow and help others, Elliston's book is ultimately a reminder of the unparalleled love that exists between a parent and her child.

Title: The Wordvues of Vern LaCrosse, Vol. 2

Narrator: Deren Hansen
Format: Unabridged
Length: 1 hr and 2 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-01-13
Publisher: The Wordvues
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
Once upon a time - I was in the second grade at the very rural Mission Point one-room schoolhouse near Cataldo, Idaho in 1936. Our truly wonderful young teacher for all 8 grades was Miss Martha Peschel. One morning she announced that an older gentleman, who was a professional Story Teller, would visit us that afternoon. When he arrived he walked to the front of our class and was introduced. He removed his suit coat, smiled broadly and proceeded to say nice words about us, our little school, and our pretty teacher; we thus liked him just fine, even before he began his story.
I can't remember what his story was about, what I do clearly recall is the very strong impression he made on me. Wow! What a job. What a career. What a way to live; just travel from school to school, smile at and talk to kids, get some fun questions, some applause, and an invitation to return. How could life get any better than that? I told my mother all about him and of my intention to emulate this fascinating man. Mom, and later an English teacher in high school, gently explained that my "Hero" was a volunteer, a retired person, who made a few local appearances to amuse and entertain children, and did this as an act of love, not for the money. Nuts! SoI eventually went into business to support my family, to be realistic about my career, and try forgetting about the Story Teller.

Length: 8 hrs and 15 mins
Language: English
Release date: 10-31-13
Publisher: Morgan James Publishing
Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs
Publisher's Summary:
Axe is no saint and burns his candle at both ends with a flame thrower in the center. After bouncing from one guardrail to the other in numerous facets of life, even his .44 magnum can't protect him from the grim reaper as he faces open heart surgery at age thirty-four. When pending demise slams his brakes, this white collar rock star is forced to shake the Etch-a-Sketch of his life. He survives humble and weak, but still alive.
As his health slowly returns, he captures observations, thoughts, and memories that help him to better understand the world and people around him. More important are the internal lessons he learns as he creates an improved version of himself who's healthier and happier, but still a fiend for excitement. The whiskey in Axe's veins is replaced with adrenaline, and pure passions like heavy metal, crunching guitars, and roaring motorcycles are fully realized in his celebration of freedom and life.
Bouncing off Guardrails is a true, inspirational memoir that intelligently and graphically illustrates a drastic transition from a self-destructive underdog to a man gripping every experience by the throat and cherishing it.

MeetHagar, the Chinook-flying husband frequently on secret missions in Afghan, and the children, a son, The Grenade, and, a daughter, The Menace.Listen to accounts of the handbag-bashing, bake-offs and backstabbing that conceal the isolated and unpleasant truth of the life for wives and girlfriends, the long celibate months alone with the kids waiting for news from the war zone, and Hagars return, when, addicted to the high-octane thrill of combat, he is in need of action at home. This is a roller-coaster ride of laughs and home truths that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Critic Reviews:
"Our lives pale into insignificance and the army does feel like your husband's mistress. Let's hope this book starts to change the attitude. Well done." (Amazon reader)
"I downloaded it on my i-Pad ... that was two and a half hours ago! I could not put the book/i-Pad down (I even agreed to a whole Easter egg for my daughter's breakfast!). This is one of the best, funniest and honest books I have read in a long time! A definitive must for all Forces wives!" (Amazon reader)
"A great insight to the domestic front of a military mum that I could really relate to. Clare has managed to articulate with good humour how I also feel about being a feminist military wife, but [she is] far more brave and bold in having the balls to publish it despite a lot of criticism."(Amazon reader)
"I read this book in less than two hours and I'm waiting for the next one. It should remind us that behind those who serve in uniform there are those who serve on the domestic front: sometimes that's hard, sometimes it's great. This is a highly personal, interesting and entertaining read." (Amazon reader)
