Summary:

A governess must return to the Cornish coast amid the insidious rumors of murder that forced her away in this Regency romance. Set in the same time period as Poldark and Bridgerton, The Governess of Penwythe Hall is rich with family secrets, lingering danger, and the captivating allure of new love.

Cornwall, England, 1811: Blamed for her husband’s death, Cordelia Greythorne fled Cornwall and accepted a governess position to begin a new life. Years later her employer’s unexpected death and his last request for Delia to watch over his five children force her to reevaluate. She can’t abandon the children now that they’ve lost both parents, but their new guardian lives at the timeworn Penwythe Hall . . . back on the Cornish coast where she’s been warned never to return.

Bachelor Jac Twethewey is determined to revive Penwythe Hall’s once-flourishing apple orchards, and he’ll stop at nothing to see his struggling estate profitable again. He hasn’t heard from his elder brother in years, so when his nieces, nephews, and their governess arrive unannounced, he battles both grief at his brother’s death and bewilderment over this sudden responsibility.

Jac’s priorities shift as the children take up residence in the ancient halls, but their secretive governess—and the sinister mysteries shrouding her past—might be the end to both Jac and Delia’s carefully laid plans.

Praise for The Governess of Penwythe Hall:

Summary:

You have potential, even if it’s hidden. You have talent, even if you’re afraid to use it. Your dreams just might change the world if you only believe the truth: I’m possible.

Internationally known celebrity photographer and philanthropist Jeremy Cowart shares his powerful story of transcending the traditional, following his ideas into a life lived in the fullness of possibility.

Jeremy started out as a failure.

Growing up, his life was defined by the words I can’t do it. Consistently bringing home poor grades, he felt overcome with the feeling that he just wasn’t good enough. His parents refused to allow him to be crushed by his lack of self-confidence and reprogrammed his mind with a single sentence: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Armed with that verse, Jeremy began to truly pursue his ideas, no matter how impossible they seemed. From becoming an award-winning celebrity photographer and visual artist to a philanthropist dedicated to investing dignity and value in people from underserved communities, now Jeremy firmly believes “I’m Possible.”

This book is perfect for those seeking to:

- Appreciate your own unique talents and potential contributions to the world

- Speak your dreams aloud and take the first steps towards making them real

- Overcome feelings of fear and anxiety to discover your true purpose

- Build a fulfilling life you love

In I’m Possible, Jeremy shares how he found inspiration in frustration, failed forward, and ultimately discovered his true purpose. It’s a book that will inspire readers with the message that all things are possible when we engage our God-given purpose to change the world.

Title: As Long as Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, from Colonization to Standing Rock

Author: Dina Gilio-Whitaker

Narrator: Kyla Garcia

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7:09:11

Language: English

Release date: 04-02-19

Publisher: Beacon Press

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, North America, Science & Technology, Animals & Nature, Social Science

Summary:

The story of Native peoples’ resistance to environmental injustice and land incursions, and a call for environmentalists to learn from the Indigenous community’s rich history of activism

Through the unique lens of “Indigenized environmental justice,” Indigenous researcher and activist Dina Gilio-Whitaker explores the fraught history of treaty violations, struggles for food and water security, and protection of sacred sites, while highlighting the important leadership of Indigenous women in this centuries-long struggle. As Long As Grass Grows gives readers an accessible history of Indigenous resistance to government and corporate incursions on their lands and offers new approaches to environmental justice activism and policy.

Throughout 2016, the Standing Rock protest put a national spotlight on Indigenous activists, but it also underscored how little Americans know about the longtime historical tensions between Native peoples and the mainstream environmental movement. Ultimately, she argues, modern environmentalists must look to the history of Indigenous resistance for wisdom and inspiration in our common fight for a just and sustainable future.

Title: God's Favorites: Judaism, Christianity, and the Myth of Divine Chosenness

Author: Michael Coogan

Narrator: Jeff Zinn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:40:14

Language: English

Release date: 04-02-19

Publisher: Beacon Press

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Religious Studies

Summary:

A noted biblical scholar explores how the claim of divine choice has been used from ancient times to the present to justify territorial expansion and prejudice.

The Bible describes many individuals and groups as specially chosen by God. But does God choose at all? Michael Coogan explains the temporally layered and allusive storytelling of biblical texts and describes the world of the ancient Near East from which it emerged, laying bare the power struggles, the acts of vengeance, and persecutions made sacred by claims of chosenness.

Jumping forward to more modern contexts, Coogan reminds us how the self-designation of the Puritan colonizers of New England as God’s new Israel eventually morphed, in the United States, into the self-justifying doctrines of manifest destiny and American exceptionalism. In contemporary Israel, both fundamentalist Zionists and their evangelical American partners cite the Jews’ status as God’s chosen people as justification for taking land—for very different ends. Appropriated uncritically, the Bible has thus been used to reinforce exclusivity and superiority, with new myths based on old myths.

Finally, in place of the pernicious idea of chosenness, Coogan suggests we might instead focus on another key biblical concept: taking care of the immigrant and the refugee, reminding the reader of the unusual focus on the vulnerable in both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament.

Title: Setting the Rising Sun: Halsey's Aviators Strike Japan, Summer 1945

Author: Kevin A. Mahoney

Narrator: Jason Culp

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:23:03

Language: English

Release date: 04-01-19

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

By the summer of 1945, Adm. Bull Halseys U.S. Third Fleet had fought its way far enough in the Pacific that its carrier-based fighters could launch attacks on Japan itself in preparation for the invasion of the home islands, planned for the fall of 1945. This mission U.S. Navy fighters, fighter-bombers, dive-bombers, and torpedo-bombersHellcats, Avengers, Helldivers, and morecarried out with a vengeance, striking airfields, industrial targets, and coastal facilities while flying into the teeth of Japanese air defenses. Meanwhile, the fleets aircraft continued to attack the Japanese navy (sinking a submarine from the air, attackingbut not sinkingthe famous battleship Nagato, and attacking other ships), interdict enemy merchant shipping, and defend against kamikaze attacks on Third Fleet. As late as the morning of August 15the day the ceasefire took effect (before the formal signing on September 2)the fighters saw hard fighting, downing Japanese fighters making last-ditch, almost literally last-minute attacks on the U.S. fleet. Numerous books have covered the American bomber war against Japan in World War II, from the Doolittle Raid to Curtis Lemays strategic bombing campaign, the firebombing of Tokyo, and the dropping of the atomic bombs. But other than memoirs and bit parts in air war histories, fighter and fighter-bomber operations have received short shrift. Setting the Rising Sun corrects that oversight, zooming in on fighters during the wars final two months. In this carefully researched narrative history, Kevin Mahoney recounts this vital period of the Pacific War with drama and attention to detail. He draws on both American and Japanese perspectives to reconstruct intense combat missions and place them in the context of a war that was hurtling toward its conclusion in two mushroom clouds in Japan.

Title: Thunder on Bataan: The First American Tank Battles of World War II

Author: Donald L. Caldwell

Narrator: Jim Seybert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:31:21

Language: English

Release date: 04-01-19

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: History, Military

Summary:

The American Provisional Tank Group had been in the Philippines only three weeks when the Japanese attacked the islands hours after the raid on Pearl Harbor. One of the tankmen parked his half-track on a runway and shot down a Japanese Zero that day, but the groups first tank-on-tank action indeed the first American armor battle of World War II would come two weeks later. Sent north to meet the Japanese landings in Lingayen Gulf, the men of the group, still learning their way around an M3 tank, found themselves thrust into a critical role when the Philippine Army could not hold back the Japanese. The next day, General MacArthur ordered the retreat to Bataan, and over the next two weeks, the PTG, proving itself indispensable, formed a blocking force to cover the retreat and dealt the enemy tanks such a defeat that the Japanese would be timid with their armor for the rest of the campaign. During January, February, and March 1942, the light tanks of the PTG patrolled Bataans beaches and, in a new role for tanks, encircled and destroyed Japanese penetrations and small amphibious landings; these tactics would be used by other units later in the war. By April the situation had become untenable, and 15,000 Americans, along with 60,000 Filipinos, surrendered in one of the worst defeats in U.S. military history. The Provisional Tank Group ceased to exist, and its men endured the Bataan Death March, the torture and starvation of POW camps, the hell ships that took them to Japan and Manchuria for slave labor, and the Palawan massacre (where prisoners were lit on fire by the Japanese). By the end of the war, only half the PTGs men were alive. The 1941-42 campaign in the Philippines has taken a backseat in the popular historical imagination to what came after the Death March, the prison camps, the rescue attempts and the role of tanks in that campaign has been largely ignored, in no small part because American field commander Jonathan Wainwright was an ex-cavalryman who did not like tanks and gave them short shrift in his postwar writings. In an evocatively written book that conjures the sights, sounds, and smells of battle in the Philippines, Caldwell restores tanks to their rightful place in the history of this campaign while also giving attention to the horrors that followed. He has conducted impressive primary research to bring to life the short but noteworthy combat history of the Provisional Tank Group, and he has dug even deeper to tell the stories of the individuals who did the fighting, selecting soldiers from each of the groups six companies and recounting, throughout the book, the entire arc of their service, from enlistment, training, and combat to imprisonment, liberation, and return home. It gives the book strong human-interest threads to follow from the first chapter to the last.
