Title: Broke Author: Sam Drummond Narrator: Tim Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 7 minutes Release date: July 21, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A memoir about downward mobility, disability and the power of hope. Sam always knew he was starting life on the back foot. When his parents split, Sam, his mother and his brother had to learn to survive in a world not built for single-parent families. Add to that Sam's diagnosis with a form of dwarfism and the odds seemed stacked against them. As surgeons kept breaking and resetting Sam's legs in attempts to keep him walking, disability and poverty collided, and it took all the family's strength not to crumple in the impact. With each change in circumstance – jobs gained and lost, relationships starting and ending, moving between city and country and from school to school – Sam tried to make sense of the adult decisions that kept shaking his world. Armed with hope, the support of friends and teachers, and the unwavering love of his mum, he began to claw his way to a brighter future. In Broke, lawyer and disability advocate Sam Drummond weaves a poignant, stirring and deeply compassionate tale of life on the fringes. It's a story of broken families, broken bodies and a broken system that constantly lets vulnerable Australians down.

Das Mistviech in meinem Körper hämmert mir dieses Wissen ja ohne Unterlass in den Kopf: Ich hab' Dich im Griff! Und ich würde es gerne anbrüllen: Komm raus, Du blödes Viech!

Er notiert seine Innenansichten, den Schrecken, die Albträume, seine Sehnsucht nach Leben – aber plötzlich geht es um viel mehr als das persönliche Drama: um diese zerrissene, malträtierte Welt.

Title: [Romanian] - Daca as fi stiut Author: Marian Pana Narrator: Vlad Blându Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 39 minutes Release date: June 28, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Am scris aceasta ,,carticica” in urma unei discutii cu copiii mei cei mari, care acum sunt la liceu si la facultate. Mi-am dat seama ca ar fi bine sa afle de cand sunt tineri ceea ce eu am trait/descoperit/aflat/citit in decursul vietii. M-am oprit la anumite teme pe care le consider importante in ,,devenirea” unui om. Daca le-as fi stiut de tanar, eram cu siguranta mai intelept. As fi dorit ca in tinerete cineva sa-mi povesteasca si sa primesc sfaturi despre teme ca: educatie, bogatie, sanatate, alimentatie, tehnologie, educatie financiara, educatie antreprenoriala etc. Multe lucruri nu sunt deloc noi, le cunoasteti, dar este nevoie sa fie repetate. ,,Repetitia e mama invataturii.” Cred cu tarie in educatie. Traseul meu profesional demonstreaza acest aspect: farmacist practician, cadru didactic universitar, antreprenor, responsabil de vanzari, management, comunicare si, poate, din nou antreprenor, dar in alt fel. Am trecut de 50 de ani si am acumulat suficienta experienta. M-am gandit sa ,,cuplez” cateva idei, referitoare la temele sus-mentionate, din experienta personala si sa citez din materialele (carti, programe audio/video) care m-au impresionat. Am scris cat am putut de concentrat si am incercat sa sintetizez in asa fel incat lectura sa fie usoara si placuta.

Robinson Narrator: Danielle Farrell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 35 minutes Release date: June 19, 2023 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: THE PREDATOR written by PAT E. ROBINSON As a survivor of gut-wrenching inescapable domestic violence, Robinson has courageously stepped up to share her story in her book. She details the raw abusive, threatening actions and her distraught hopeless emotions that readers cannot help but feel alongside as she tells her story; many that may be relatable to readers. She had encountered violence in her own childhood but became emotionally resilient and fearless, until her life turned into a struggle when she met a man with a fatal attraction for her. Robinson was kidnapped, chained, beaten, sexually abused and controlled by this man’s remorseless evil nature. She was – desperate - broken - a woman who knew she would not be rescued after she found his arsenal of illegal weapons. Robinson encourages abuse victims to know that even in her darkest times, she learned what her faith in God could do for her. In fact, she credits her survival through the power of God’s love. While God encouraged Robinson to author her true story, she also received an encouraging word from best-selling novelist, Anna Quindlen. When asked about writing this book, Robinson said, “I wrote of my incredible personal experiences of the love of God with his restoration, that gave me peace, love, faith, and a hope and desire to help other victims.” Praise the Lord for giving me strength, courage, and patience to heal my hurt. And for His presence so near that showered me with His love and taught me to have faith in Him. I am so amazed with the Love of God and what He brought me through. Have faith, He will do it for you!
