Title: The Last Nomad: Coming of Age in the Somali Desert Author: Shugri Said Salh Narrator: Waceke Wambaa Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 39 minutes Release date: August 3, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A remarkable and inspiring true story that "stuns with raw beauty" about one woman's resilience, her courageous journey to America, and her family's lost way of life. Winner of the 2022 Gold Nautilus Award, Multicultural & Indigenous Category Born in Somalia, a spare daughter in a large family, Shugri Said Salh was sent at age six to live with her nomadic grandmother in the desert. The last of her family to learn this once-common way of life, Salh found herself chasing warthogs, climbing termite hills, herding goats, and moving constantly in search of water and grazing lands with her nomadic family. For Salh, though the desert was a harsh place threatened by drought, predators, and enemy clans, it also held beauty, innovation, centuries of tradition, and a way for a young Sufi girl to learn courage and independence from a fearless group of relatives. Salh grew to love the freedom of roaming with her animals and the powerful feeling of community found in nomadic rituals and the oral storytelling of her ancestors. As she came of age, though, both she and her beloved Somalia were forced to confront change, violence, and instability. Salh writes with engaging frankness and a fierce feminism of trying to break free of the patriarchal beliefs of her culture, of her forced female genital mutilation, of the loss of her mother, and of her growing need for independence. Taken from the desert by her strict father and then displaced along with millions of others by the Somali Civil War, Salh fled first to a refugee camp on the Kenyan border and ultimately to North America to learn yet another way of life. Readers will fall in love with Salh on the page as she tells her inspiring story about leaving Africa, learning English, finding love, and embracing a new horizon for herself and her family. Honest and tender, The Last Nomad is a riveting coming-of-age story of resilience, survival, and the shifting definitions of home.

Title: [Spanish] - El billar de los suizos: Memorias atendidas Author: Guillermo Fadanelli Narrator: Alonso José Pérez Gay J. Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 26 minutes Release date: August 2, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Lo poco que me es posible prometer aquí es que si mis crónicas se leen con buen ánimo y sin mala leche entonces el viaje será compartido y nadie se arrepentirá. 'La gente no es mala si tiene espacio donde moverse', se escucha decir a un personaje en Hotel Savoy, la novela de Joseph Roth. Mas yo añadiría que el espacio en donde uno puede moverse se relaciona más con la libertad, la curiosidad y la imaginación que con el espacio mismo (en el espacio lo extraño es mera continuación de lo conocido). De lo contrario, lo más conveniente habría sido, en mi caso, realizar un viaje de cuarenta días alrededor de mi habitación y no exponer a los otros al mal rato de mi presencia y compañía. Aunque en general fui un viajero solitario, no grato y modesto llegué a urdir amistades que hicieron de mi vagancia algo memorable o, al menos, un suceso digno de recuerdo. Es posible que muchas de ellas no me guarden en su memoria, ya que ejercí con mucho cuidado la sana acción de pasar inadvertido —hasta donde mi temperamento lo permitió—, mas a todas estas personas, intensas y ocasionales, dedico este libro de crónicas.

Title: Shooting Out the Lights: A Memoir Author: Kim Fairley Narrator: Emily Rankin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 25 minutes Release date: July 27, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: In this beautifully drawn memoir, Kim Fairley tells her story of falling in love with and marrying fifty-seven-year-old Vernon Fairley when she was twenty-four. Something about Vern--his quirkiness, his humor, his devilish smile--made her feel an immediate connection with him. She quickly became pregnant, but instead of the idyllic interlude she'd imagined as she settled into married life and planned for their family, their love was soon tested by the ghosts of Vern's past--a town, a house, a family, a memory. In Shooting Out the Lights, Fairley explores the challenges faced in a loving marriage, the ongoing, wrenching aftermath of gun violence, and the healing that comes with confronting the past.

From his family’s farm in Western Minnesota where he was rooted in the hardworking values of his immigrant Scandinavian heritage, Vern’s journey took him to the high-stakes world of American business. Along the way, Vern learned he could not confine God to traditional Sunday-morning religion. As Vern poured himself into the company he helped start, he came to see God at work daily. His faith grew even as he wrestled with doubts, questions, and uncertainties. Those day-to-day struggles, however, prepared Vern to step over the threshold of faith. This is also a story of a company launched by faith. From its humble beginnings in a small shop in a small town, Douglas Machine grew to employ more than 700 who design and build one-of-a-kind packaging machines, now found in over 30 countries. Along with his cousin, Bud Thoen, and his brother, Paul, Vern watched God regularly guide their decisions, impact people — and even fix troublesome machines! Impossibilities became possible as they invited God into their workplace. Threshold of Faith tells of a God who is “always there” — at home, at school, and even at work. Let this book entertain and inspire you with the faith to step over the threshold and into God’s best for you.

Caryl Narrator: Tom Parks Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 28 minutes Release date: July 13, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Catkiller 3-2 provides unique insights into the role of the tactical air controller, airborne (TACA) in I Corps as seen through the eyes of one of the pilots who flew low-flying, unarmed, single-engine aircraft in support of marine ground units during the Vietnam War. When Gen. William Westmoreland changed the marines' role in I Corps into a combat one, the Marines found themselves in need of more fixed wing aircraft to handle the TACA missions. The advance party of the Army's 220th Reconnaissance Aircraft Company (RAC) arrived in Vietnam in late June 1965 thinking they were going to be assigned to III Corps Tactical Zone. However, because of the shortage of existing Marine Birddogs, the 220th was immediately reassigned to I Corps and came under the operational control of the Marines. No other work details the tactics, restrictions, aerial maneuvers, and dangers experienced by the army pilots and marine aerial observers flying these missions. As young lieutenants and captains, they had at their beck and call as much authority to request and control artillery and air strikes as ground commanders of much higher rank. Raymond G. Caryl provides unrivaled examples of the cultural mores, attitudes, and recreational activity of these young pilots and observers supporting the ground forces.
