Title: Going Gypsy Subtitle: One Couple's Adventure from Empty Nest to No Nest at All Author: David James, Veronica James Narrator: Carolyn Cook, Steve Coulter Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Almost every couple faces a "now what?" moment as their last kid moves out of the house. There's a big empty nest looming over this new and uncertain stage in their lives. David and Veronica James chose to look at this next phase of life as a beginning instead of an ending. Rather than staying put and facing the constant reminders of empty bedrooms and backseats, a plan began to develop to sell the nest and hit the highway. But could a homebody helicopter mom learn to let go of her heartstrings and house keys all at once? Filled with a sense of adventure and humor, Going Gypsy is the story of a life after raising kids that is a celebration of new experiences. Pulling the rip cord on the daily grind, David and Veronica throw caution to the wind, quit their jobs, sell their house, put on their vagabond shoes, and go gypsy in a beat-up old RV found on eBay. On a journey of over 10,000 miles along the back roads of America (and a hysterical, error-infused side trip into Italy), they conquer old fears, see new sights, reestablish bonds with family and friends, and transform their relationships with their three grown children from parent-child to adult-to-adult. Most importantly, they rediscover in themselves the fun-loving youngsters who fell in love three decades prior.

Title: Don't Let My Past Be Your Future Author: Harry Leslie Smith Narrator: Ric Jerom Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-11-18 Publisher: Little Brown Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Harry Leslie Smith is a great British stalwart. A survivor of the Great Depression, a Second World War veteran, a lifelong Labour supporter and a proud Yorkshire man, Harry's life has straddled two centuries. As a young man, he witnessed a country in crisis with no health care, no relief for the poor, and a huge economic gulf between the North and South. Now in his 90s, Harry wanders through the streets of his youth and wonders whether anything has actually changed. Britain is at its most dangerous juncture since Harry's youth - the NHS and social housing are in crisis, whilst Brexit and an unpopular government continue to divide the country - but there is hope. Just as Clement Attlee provided hope in 1945, Labour's triumphant comeback of June 2017 is a beacon of light in this season of discontent. Britain has overcome adversity before and will do so again - a new nation will be forged from the ashes of grave injustice. Moving and passionate, Don't Let My Past Be Your Future interweaves memoir and polemic in a call to arms. Above all, this book is a homage to the boundless grace and resilience of the human spirit.

Title: Beasts, Men and Gods Author: Ferdinand Ossendowski Narrator: Lawrence Skinner Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-17 Publisher: Audioliterature Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: "Beasts, Men and Gods" (1922) is a historical memoir by Ferdinand Ossendowski. Excerpt from the Introduction: Dr. Albert Shaw of the "Review of Reviews", after reading the manuscript, characterized the author as "The Robinson Crusoe of the Twentieth Century". I desire, therefore, to assure the reader at the outset that Dr. Ossendowski is a man of long and diverse experience as a scientist and writer with a training for careful observation which should put the stamp of accuracy and reliability on his chronicle. Only the extraordinary events of these extraordinary times could have thrown one with so many talents back into the surroundings of the "Cave Man" and thus given to us this unusual account of personal adventure, of great human mysteries and of the political and religious motives which are energizing the "Heart of Asia." - LEWIS STANTON PALEN Artist Bio Author: Ferdinand Ossendowski (1876-1945) was a Polish writer, explorer, professor, and anti-Communist political activist, known for his books about Lenin and the Russian Civil War in which he participated. ©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature

Title: A Sinner in Mecca Subtitle: A Gay Muslim's Hajj of Defiance Author: Parvez Sharma Narrator: Parvez Sharma Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 12-14-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: The Hajj pilgrimage is a journey every Muslim is commanded by God to go on at least once in a lifetime if they are able and, like millions, Parvez Sharma believes his spiritual salvation lies at Islam's ground zero, Mecca. But unlike the journeys of his fellow Muslims, the consequences of his own could be deadly. In A Sinner in Mecca, author and filmmaker Parvez chronicles his pilgrimage as a very openly gay Muslim to Saudi Arabia, where Islam's heart beats...and where being true to himself is punishable by death. Risking his life, Parvez embarks on a Jihad of the self-filming his experience along the way. Already under fire for his documentary A Jihad for Love, which looks at the coexistence of Islam and homosexuality, he would undoubtedly face savage punishment if exposed - from being thrown off a cliff to public beheading. Parvez's odyssey is at once audacious, global, and remarkable. He meets everyone from extremists to explorers of the spiritual kind, and the world they open up is frightening...yet breathtaking. In Mecca, Parvez comes out to a pilgrim, who then asks him why he would want to be part of something that wants no part of him. This book is his answer to this question and many more.

Title: Minefields Subtitle: A Life in the News Game Author: Hugh Riminton Narrator: Hugh Riminton Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-17 Publisher: Hachette Australia Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Hugh Riminton was a small-town New Zealand teenager with a possible drinking problem and a job cleaning rat cages at an animal lab when a chance meeting with a radio news director changed his life. The news man took a chance on him, and at 17 Riminton became a cadet reporter. On the strength of a two-line job ad in a Perth newspaper, he escaped to Australia. It was the time of Hawkie, Bondy and $40,000 houses. Within three years of getting his start in television, he scored one of the most prestigious and sought after jobs in Australian journalism - the role of London-based correspondent for the Nine Network. As a foreign correspondent, he travelled the world, reporting from Somalia, covering the IRA bombings, narrowly avoiding being murdered by a mob in Soweto; the Balkans were at war; the tanks were rumbling in the streets of Moscow. Back in South Africa he got a chance to see up close the genius and humanity of the great Nelson Mandela. And then the Rwandan genocide began, and Hugh was despatched to investigate - with former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser tagging along. As the French prepare to resume nuclear testing in the Pacific, Hugh flew to Tahiti to be caught in the middle of the protest riots. After a day of being teargassed and watching his hire car getting torched, evening fell with the capital Papeete in flames. His reporting won him a Logie Award. Over nearly 40 years, he has been shot at, blown up, threatened with deportation and thrown in jail. He has reported from nearly 50 countries, witnessed massacres in Africa, wars and conflicts on four continents, and every kind of natural disaster. He has also been a frontline witness to pivotal moments in Australian history, from the Port Arthur massacre to the political dramas of Canberra, receiving almost every major journalism award Australia has to offer. Minefields is Hugh's fascinating story of over 40 years on the front line of the news game.

Title: To the Cross and Back: An Immigrant's Journey from Faith to Reason Author: Fernando Alcántar, Dan Barker Narrator: Dan Barker, Fernando Alcántar Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 11-16-17 Publisher: Pitchstone Publishing Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A Mexican immigrant and rising star within the Christian community abandons his faith and comes out as a gay atheist in this exceptionally moving and soul-searching memoir.

With heart-wrenching honesty, he shares stories of trauma, tragedy, prejudice, uncertainty, survival, and, ultimately, discovery. In the process, he gives a voice to thousands who are hiding in the shadows, afraid to publicly question their religious, cultural, or sexual identity for fear of isolation and retaliation. You will discover that his is not simply a Mexican story or an American story, a heterosexual's story or a homosexual's story, a Christian's story or an atheist's story. Rather, his is a universal story - one uniquely about and for our times.

Title: An Army Nurse in Two Wars Author: James Phinney Munroe, Mary Phinney, Baroness von Olnhausen Narrator: Brian V Hunt, Claire Dayton Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 11-08-17 Publisher: Big Byte Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Her life has been wonderfully fictionalized on the hit PBS TV series, Mercy Street. Here is Mary Phinney's real life in her own words, long prized by historians as a source about Civil War medicine. American Mary Phinney was ahead of her time. A rebel against the restrictions placed on women of her day, the sad death of her husband, the Barron von Olnhausen, proved to be the real beginning of her life. Upon the outbreak of the American Civil War, this remarkable woman enlisted herself in the care of sick and wounded soldiers. Working with Dorothea Dix and other notable women of the Civil War, she tirelessly worked to improve the sanitary conditions, medical care, and morale of shattered young men. Hardly taking a breath from her exhausting years in the Civil War, she went to Europe in 1870 to provide the same services in the Franco-Prussian War. Her experiences as related through her own writing is the story of one of the great women of the 19th century. Mary Phinney von Olnhausen early found her happiness in living, in suffering, in encountering hardships for the sake of others. She was too human to be a saint, of too intense a vitality to be thoroughly well balanced; but she was what the world most needs, - an unflagging, unselfish, optimistic moral force.

Former soldier Rob Langdon was working as a security contractor in Afghanistan when he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in a case that would have been ruled a clear miscarriage of justice in the British legal system.

Rob was there for seven years, the longest sentence served by a Westerner since the fall of the Taliban, and every one of those 2,500 days was an act of extraordinary survival in a jail filled with Afghanistan's most dangerous extremists and murderers. In 2016, Robert was pardoned and returned to Australia. In this highly anticipated book, he talks about his experiences for the first time.

Title: Within These Walls Subtitle: Memoirs of a Death House Chaplain Author: Carlton Stowers, Rev. Carroll Pickett Narrator: Tom Pile Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 07-24-17 Publisher: Crossroad Press Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Within These Walls is the powerful memoir of Rev. Carroll Pickett, who spent fifteen years as the death house chaplain at "The Walls," the Huntsville unit of the Texas prison system. In that capacity, Reverend Pickett ministered to ninety-five men before they were put to death by lethal injection. They came with sinister nicknames like "The Candy Man" and "The Good Samaritan Killer," some contrite, some angry -- a few who might even have been innocent. All of them found in Reverend Pickett their last chance for an unbiased confessor who would look at them only as fellow humans, not simply as the convicted criminals the rest of society had already dismissed them as. This firsthand experience gave Reverend Pickett the unique insight needed to write an impassioned statement on the realities of capital punishment in America. The result is a thought-provoking and compelling book that takes the reader inside the criminal mind, inside the execution chamber, and inside the heart of a remarkable man who shares his thoughts and observations not only about capital punishment, but about the dark world of prison society.
