Title: Christian Child, Atheist Adult

Subtitle: From Devotion to Denial in 46 Years Flat

Author: Gregory Blount

Narrator: Gregory Blount

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-29-17

Publisher: Blount Publishing

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Christian Child, Atheist Adult is the the autobiographical narrative of a Southern Baptist deacon's son who discovered just how misled he had been during his formative years; ultimately making a transformation into one of Christianity's most staunch critics. Gregory Blount provides accounts of the social and familial tactics often used by many faith-based religions to indoctrinate and entrap members. The book also provides a broad consideration of the scientific, historical, and philosophical answers that led the author to develop his perspective. Blount sheds light on the misinformation that is perpetuated by modern-day Christian churches and demonstrates how Christianity's historical alliance with governmental entities exists today, as it almost always has, to suppress and divide citizens against each other for the convenience of their oligarchical support network. Christian Child, Atheist Adult is a contemplative and thorough look behind the curtain of one of the world's largest and most rampantly misunderstood theistic religions. It is a crucial work, written with the intention of liberating a modern, yet unsuspecting society of well-intending individuals from the fanatical idealism that has suppressed the majority of humankind for centuries.

Publisher's Summary:

My memoirs of Vietnam are more like an MRI than a book written about an image of me at 26 - taken by me at 73. I'm the technician operating the big tube - you are the radiologist studying the results, but the image is not of me. No, it's a picture of you; because we are all drafted to Vietnam.

Shortly after starting, my work took on a life of its own, realizing that your Vietnam is infinitely more relevant and important than mine, and you are all alone - just as I was in southeast Asia. So when you listen, think about yourself, think about your own personal Vietnam. Then I invite you to join me to Think Snow.

Publisher's Summary:

Belle Gibson convinced the world she had healed herself from terminal brain cancer with a healthy diet. She built a global business based upon her claims. There was just one problem: she'd never had cancer.

In 2015, journalists uncovered the truth: this hero of the wellness world, with over 200,000 followers, international book deals and a best-selling smartphone app, was a fraud. She had lied about having cancer - to her family and friends, to her business partners and publishers, and to the hundreds of thousands of people, including genuine cancer survivors, who were inspired by her Instagram posts.

Written by the same multiaward-winning journalists who uncovered the details of Gibson's lies, The Woman Who Fooled the World tracks the 23-year-old's rise to fame and fall from grace. Told through interviews with the people who know her best, it unravels the mystery and motivation behind this deception and follows the public reaction to a scandal that made headlines around the world.

The Woman Who Fooled the World explores the lure of alternative cancer treatments, the cottage industry flourishing behind the wellness and 'clean eating' movements and the power of social media. It documents the devastating impact this con had on Gibson's fans and on people suffering from cancer. Ultimately, it answers not just how but why Gibson was able to fool so many.

Kritik Bewertungen:

Jeder hätte gedacht, dass es das Ende einer kurzen, wenn auch schönen Freundschaft war. Allerdings waren die Fäden des Schicksals bereits miteinander verflochten. Ein unglaublich rührende Geschichte.

-- CNN

Jedes Mal, wenn Olivia nach Buenos Aires zurückkehrte, wartete Rubio wieder vor dem Hotel. So ging das mehrere Monate!

-- BILD

Wie im Märchen: Als Olivia Sievers wider einmal nach Argentinien flog, wurde sie dort schon erwartet - von einem Streuner, den sie mal gefüttert und gestreichelt hatte.

-- stern

Olivia nannte den Hund Rubio und entschied, dass sie sich um ihn kümmern würde. Vorher hatte sich Rubio nie fangen lassen. Rubio wollte zu Olivia.

Publisher's Summary:

Brian Cuban was living a lie. With a famous last name and a successful career as a lawyer, Brian was able to hide his clinical depression and alcohol and cocaine addictions - for a while.

Today, as an inspirational speaker in long-term recovery, Brian looks back on his journey with honesty, compassion, and even humor as he reflects both on what he has learned about himself and his career choice and how the legal profession enables addiction. His demons, which date to his childhood, controlled him through failed marriages and stays in a psychiatric facility, until they brought him to the brink of suicide. That was his wake-up call. This is his story.

Brian also takes an in-depth look at why there is such a high percentage of problematic alcohol use and other mental health issues in the legal profession. What types of therapies work? Are 12-step programs the only answer? Brian also includes interviews with experts on the subject as well as others in the profession who are now in recovery. The Addicted Lawyer is both a serious study of addiction and a compelling story of redemption.

Release date: 10-03-17

Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Xiaolu Guo has traveled further than most to become who she needed to be. Now, as she experiences the birth of her daughter in a London maternity ward surrounded by women from all over the world, she looks back on that journey. It begins in the fishing village shack on the East China Sea where her illiterate grandparents raised her, and brings her to a rapidly changing Beijing, full of contradictions: a thriving underground art scene amid mass censorship, curious Westerners who held out affection only to disappear back home. Eventually Xiaolu determined to see the world beyond China for herself, and now, after 15 years in Europe, her words resonate with the insight of someone both an outsider and at home, in a world far beyond the country of her birth.

Nine Continents presents a fascinating portrait of China in the 80s and 90s, how the Cultural Revolution shaped families, and how the country's economic ambitions gave rise to great change. It is also a moving testament to the birth of a creative spirit, and of a new generation being raised to become citizens of the world. It confirms Xiaolu Guo as one of world literature's most urgent voices.

The acclaimed author of When I Was Puerto Rican continues the riveting chronicle of her emergence from the barrios of Brooklyn to the theaters of Manhattan. "Negi," as Santiago's family affectionately calls her, leaves rural Macun in 1961 to live in a three-room tenement apartment with seven young siblings, an inquisitive grandmother, and a strict mother who won't allow her to date. At 13, Negi yearns for her own bed, privacy, and a life with her father, who remains in Puerto Rico. Translating for Mami at the welfare office in the morning, starring as Cleopatra at New York's prestigious Performing Arts High School in the afternoons, and dancing salsa all night, she seeks to find balance between being American and being Puerto Rican. At once a universally poignant coming-of-age tale, and a brave and heartfelt immigrant's story, Almost a Woman is Santiago's triumphant journey into womanhood.

Title: We Are All Shipwrecks

Subtitle: A Memoir

Author: Kelly Grey Carlisle

Narrator: Andrea Gallo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-05-17

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

A captivating memoir of one woman's extraordinary upbringing and her search for redemption in the face of staggering tragedy.

Kelly Carlisle was three weeks old when her mother was strangled in downtown Los Angeles, leaving Kelly in the care of her grandfather, an eccentric Englishman who owned a porn store and lived on a boat in the harbor. It is here that Kelly finds a home among friendly alcoholics and the city's forgotten residents. But she can't help but wonder if she is destined to become a part of the dysfunction that surrounds her.

As an adult, Kelly is drawn to the thornier truths of her own family history. To piece together the sad narrative of her mother's life and death, Kelly goes back to the beginning - to a mother she never knew, a 30-year-old cold case, and two of Los Angeles' most notorious murderers.

Unflinchingly raw and vividly drawn, We Are All Shipwrecks is a memoir of an unconventional childhood and one woman's courageous journey to the knowledge that where you come from isn't always who you are.

Author bio: Kelly Carlisle's personal essays have appeared in the New England Review, Salon.com, Ploughshares, and more. She has a PhD in English from the University of Nebraska and lives with her family in Texas, where she is an assistant professor at Trinity University. Follow her on Twitter @ProfKGC.
