At just twenty-four years old, Aly was diagnosed with Stage Three breast cancer and underwent years of treatments and surgeries. After many failed fertility treatments, she was diagnosed with infertility as a result of her chemotherapy. The most painful diagnoses in Josh and Aly's lives led to their greatest gifts. After an adoption that was on, off, then on again, God blessed them with baby number one, Genevieve. Just nine short months after adopting Genevieve, Aly discovered that she was pregnant with baby number two! A few weeks after Aly's pregnancy was confirmed, Genevieve's birth mother called and told them she was pregnant and asked if Josh and Aly would adopt her second child. Lydia (baby number three) was born eleven days after Aly gave birth to Vera. Three daughters all within sixteen months!

  • George Mason: The Founding Father Who Gave Us the Bill of Rights by William G. Hyland
    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/380955 to listen full audiobooks. Title: George Mason: The Founding Father Who Gave Us the Bill of Rights Author: William G. Hyland Narrator: Rob Shapiro Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 27 minutes Release date: May 7, 2019 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: George Mason was a short, bookish man who was a friend and neighbor of athletic, broad-shouldered George Washington. Unlike Washington, Mason has been virtually forgotton by history. But this new biography of forgotten patriot George Mason makes a convincing case that Mason belongs in the pantheon of honored Founding Fathers. Trained in the law, Mason was also a farmer, philosopher, botanist, and musician. He was one of the architects of the Declaration of Independence, an author of the Bill of Rights, and one of the strongest proponents of religious liberty in American history. In fact, both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison may have been given undue credit for George Mason's own contributions to American democracy.

  • Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11 by Mitchell Zuckoff

Title: Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11 Author: Mitchell Zuckoff Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 17 hours 24 minutes Release date: May 2, 2019 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ‘The farewell calls from the planes… the mounting terror of air traffic control… the mothers who knew they were witnessing their loved ones perish… From an author who’s spent 5 years reconstructing its horror, never has the story been told with such devastating, human force’ Daily Mail This is a 9/11 book like no other. Masterfully weaving together multiple strands of the events in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, Fall and Rise is a mesmerising, minute-by-minute account of that terrible day. In the days and months after 9/11, Mitchell Zuckoff, then a reporter for the Boston Globe, wrote about the attacks, the victims, and their families. After further years of meticulous reporting, Zuckoff has filled Fall and Rise with voices of the lost and the saved. The result is an utterly gripping book, filled with intimate stories of people most affected by the events of that sunny Tuesday in September: an out-of-work actor stuck in an elevator in the North Tower of the World Trade Center; the heroes aboard Flight 93 deciding to take action; a veteran trapped in the inferno in the Pentagon; the fire chief among the first on the scene in sleepy Shanksville; a team of firefighters racing to save an injured woman and themselves; and the men, women, and children flying across country to see loved ones or for work who suddenly faced terrorists bent on murder. Fall and Rise will open new avenues of understanding for everyone who thinks they know the story of 9/11, bringing to life – and in some cases, bringing back to life – the extraordinary ordinary people who experienced the worst day in modern American history. Destined to be a classic, Fall and Rise will move, shock, inspire, and fill hearts with love and admiration for the human spirit as it triumphs in the face of horrifying events.

Title: Love & Courage: My Story of Family, Resilience, and Overcoming the Unexpected Author: Jagmeet Singh Narrator: Vikas Adam Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 41 minutes Release date: April 23, 2019 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: From the leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party—Jagmeet Singh—comes a personal and heartfelt story about family and overcoming adversity. In October 2017, Jagmeet Singh was elected as the first visible minority to lead a major federal political party in Canada. The historic milestone was celebrated across the nation. About a month earlier, in the lead up to his election, Jagmeet held community meet-and-greets across Canada. At one such event, a disruptive heckler in the crowd hurled accusations at him. Jagmeet responded by calmly calling for all Canadians to act with “love and courage” in the face of hate. That response immediately went viral, and people across the country began asking, “Who is Jagmeet Singh? And why ‘love and courage’?” This personal and heartfelt memoir is Jagmeet’s answer to that question. In it, we are invited to walk with him through childhood to adulthood as he learns powerful, moving, and sometimes traumatic lessons about hardship, addiction, and the impact of not belonging. We meet his strong family, including his mother, who teaches him that “we are all one; we are all connected,” a valuable lesson that has shaped who he is today. This story is not a political memoir. This is a story of family, love, and courage, and how strengthening the connection between us all is the way to building a better world.
