Summary:

Welsh baker Poppy Davies is happily living her best life in London. Passionate about her work, there is nothing more she could possibly want-except to land the coveted job of baking the official biscuits for the upcoming royal wedding for Prince Christian, second in line to the throne. It's an assignment that could change the entire trajectory of her professional career.

But what about her personal life?

An accidental meeting with Prince Alexander of Wales, the future king, changes everything. Poppy won't deny the sexy, dark-haired prince is madly attractive, but his reputation as a playboy-and the fact that she's the least likely woman he'd ever be interested in-puts this in the TV movie category, not real life.

Yet Poppy can't deny the spark between herself and Xander. As their relationship grows, so does the looming realities of a royal romance in the public eye. Can a baker be accepted as the girlfriend of the heir to the throne-and can she keep true to herself in the role? And will Xander come to believe that he truly is a man worthy of the sacrifice a romance with him requires?

Title: In Ghostly Japan: Japanese Legends of Ghosts, Yokai, Yurei and Other Oddities

Author: Lafcadio Hearn

Narrator: Kaipo Schwab

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:55:07

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Asia

Summary:

The Japanese have two kinds of ghosts in their folklore-the spirits of the dead, and the spirits of the living. This classic of Japanese literature invites you to take your choice if you dare.

In Ghostly Japan collects twelve ghostly stories from Lafcadio Hearn, deathless images of ghosts and goblins, touches of folklore and superstition, salted with traditions of the nation. While some of these stories contain nightmare imagery worthy of a midnight creature feature, others are not ghostly or ghastly at all. 'Bits of Poetry' offers an engaging study on verse, and 'Japanese Buddhist Proverbs' explains the meaning of several aphorisms based on Japanese cultural references.

Whether you're looking to spot the demons that walk among us, or simply to enjoy the prose of a legendary craftsman, In Ghostly Japan affords countless delights. Stories include:

- 'Fragment' about a young pilgrim who encounters a mountain of skulls

- 'Ingwa-banashi' about a dying wife who bequeaths a rival a sinister legacy

- 'A Passional Karma' about a spectral beauty who returns for her handsome samurai lover

Title: Between Freedom and Equality: The History of an African American Family in Washington, DC

Author: Barbara Boyle Torrey, Clara Myrick Green

Narrator: L. Malaika Cooper

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:39:29

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, North America, Social Science

Summary:

Between Freedom and Equality begins with the life of Capt. George Pointer, an enslaved African who purchased his freedom in 1793 while working for George Washington's Potomac Company. It follows the lives of six generations of his descendants as they lived and worked on the banks of the Potomac, in the port of Georgetown, and in a rural corner of the nation's capital. Between Freedom and Equality offers a moving and inspiring look at the challenges that free African Americans have faced in Washington, DC, since the district's founding.

The story begins with an 1829 letter from Pointer that is preserved today in the National Archives. Inspired by Pointer's letter, authors Barbara Boyle Torrey and Clara Myrick Green began researching this remarkable man who was a boat captain and supervisory engineer for the Potomac canal system.

The Pointer family faced many challenges-the fragility of freedom in a slaveholding society, racism, wars, floods, and epidemics-but their refuge was the small farm they purchased in what is now Chevy Chase. However, in the early twentieth century, the DC government used eminent domain to force the sale of their farm and replaced it with an all-white school. Between Freedom and Equality grants Pointer and his descendants their long-overdue place in American history.

Title: American Political Parties and Elections: A Very Short Introduction

Author: L. Sandy Maisel

Narrator: Eric Jason Martin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:15:49

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Politics, Political Ideologies

Summary:

Few Americans and even fewer citizens of other nations understand the electoral process in the United States. Still fewer understand the role played by political parties in the electoral process or the ironies within the system. Participation in elections in the United States is much lower than in the vast majority of mature democracies. Perhaps this is because of the lack of competition in a country where only two parties have a true chance of winning, despite the fact that a large number of citizens claim allegiance to neither and think badly of both. Or perhaps it is because in the US campaign contributions disproportionately favor incumbents in most legislative elections, or that largely unregulated groups such as the now notorious 527s have as much impact on the outcome of a campaign as do the parties or the candidates' campaign organizations. Studying these factors, you begin to get a very clear picture indeed of the problems that underlay our much trumpeted electoral system.

This Very Short Introduction introduces the listener to these issues and more, providing an insider's view of how the system actually works while shining a light on some of its flaws.

Title: Free-Range Kids: How Parents and Teachers Can Let Go and Let Grow

Author: Lenore Skenazy

Narrator: Ann Marie Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:13:02

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-21

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Education

Summary:

In the newly revised and expanded second edition of Free-Range Kids, New York columnist-turned-movement leader Lenore Skenazy delivers a compelling and entertaining look at how we got so worried about everything our kids do, see, eat, read, wear, watch, and lick-and how to bid a whole lot of that anxiety goodbye. With real-world examples, advice, and a gimlet-eyed look at the way our culture forces fear down our throats, Skenazy describes how parents and educators can step back so kids step up. Positive change is faster, easier, and a lot more fun than you'd believe. This is the book that has helped millions of American parents feel brave and optimistic again-and the same goes for their kids.

Using research, humor, and feisty common sense, the book shows:

- How parents can reject the media message, 'Your child is in horrible danger!'

- How schools can give students more independence-and what happens when they do. (Hint: Teachers love it.)

- How everyone can relax and successfully navigate a judge-y world filled with way too many warnings, scolds, and brand new fears
