Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Tollpatschig, verträumt, chaotisch - so wird Mina als Kind von ihrer Umwelt wahrgenommen. Doch je älter sie wird, desto mehr überfordert sie ihr Alltag durch die allgegenwärtige Reizüberflutung. Schließlich bekommt sie die Diagnose, die ihre Zukunft verändert: Mina hat ADS - und mit einem Mal kann ihr geholfen werden.

Feinfühlig, authentisch und mit bewundernswertem Witz berichtet Mina Teichert von kleinen Krisen, Missgeschicken und Einschränkungen, mit denen sie leben muss, aber auch von ihrer bunten, verrückten Sicht auf die Welt.

Mina Teichert gibt einen Einblick in die Krankheitsbilder ADS und ADHS, erklärt, warum eine solche Diagnose gerade bei Mädchen häufig sehr spät gestellt wird, welche Therapieformen es gibt und wie man mit ADS im Erwachsenenalter umgehen kann. Ihr Buch beantwortet nicht nur viele Fragen rund um eine der häufigsten Volkskrankheiten unserer Zeit, sondern zeigt vor allem, dass auch mit ADS und ADHS ein erfülltes Leben möglich ist. Eine unverzichtbare Hilfestellung für Eltern, deren Kinder betroffen sind!

Title: Learning to Kiss

Author: Eve E. Megargel

Narrator: Eve E. Megargel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

With Commentary from Dr. Timothy Buie and Dr. Christopher J. McDougle

Learning to Kiss is a startling, nuanced memoir that delves beyond the current news headlines to reveal what happens when autism and pain collide. It's an unflinching portrait of a nonverbal young man with autism named Billy who responds to his overwhelming litany of medical issues with courage, grit, and a steely determination to communicate. Eve Megargel's raw and honest account of her son's physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions transports the listener into every moment of Billy's struggle to express his life in the midst of chronic pain. Now at 25, Billy is an independent communicator, artist, and yogi. He has been the subject of a documentary film as well as several news articles.

Members Reviews:

You care about what happens to Billy because of the author's fierce love and her determination to help her son communicate

I intended just to skim this book, but then became gripped by the "hero's journey." This book has messages for anyone embarking on a difficult journey filled with unknowns. You care about what happens to Billy because of the author's fierce love and her determination to help her son communicate.

Eve and Billy struggle with a rigid health system, people's ignorance and prejudice, but they persevere. I am inspired as I begin my journey with a treatable but incurable, fatal illnes.

Book of love

An impressive and beautiful way of looking and understanding autism through the eyes of a loving mother. Congratulations, Eve !!!!

Living with autism

Excellent book. I gave it to my granddaughter who has a special needs child.

A moving and informative memoir

Eve Megargel has written a moving and informative book. Do not be tempted to get lost in the weeds of which particular techniques she and her family used to enable Billy to transcend the limits that autism placed on his ability to communicate; if so, you will have missed the larger, important message that this memoir relates so powerfully.

The main message the book sends so well is that it is not how we teach but our goal in working with nonverbal people with autism: to give them effective ways to communicate needs, wants, frustrations, and sometimes, simply basic information about how the world operates. Although parents of a young child with autism will not have a crystal ball to predict their childâs eventual level of success, the daunting challenges that young adult Billy and his family faced are indeed a lesson in the high stakes of caring for a family member with serious health problems and limited ways to communicate. We now know that Billyâs health concerns, and other medical complications are shared by many others with ASD. The family needed not only to provide him with functional ways to communicate with others, but to make him an understanding advocate for his own care.

Easy for this non-native French speaker to understand

Somewhat dramatic, but well-researched with some original sources. Easy for this non-native French speaker to understand. Learned a few French slang words, too. Wish there had been photographs. The cover photograph was very unflattering to this exceptionally handsome man!

For French news junkies

enjoyed reading about the new French president but didn't think the book was that well written

Title: Just Another Number

Author: Maggie Young

Narrator: Maggie Young

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-18-17

Publisher: Bad Reputation Publications

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Just Another Number is a memoir structured by the first 23 men Maggie Young had sex with. Her story is about how American society curbs women to validate themselves by men. Through her lovers, Maggie relives the toxic and, at times, life-threatening situations she endured under that mentality. The audiobook paints a gritty portrait of a Tennessee teen who - in the midst of bulimia and meth abuse - joins the Navy. Just Another Number hops through the various shades of chauvinism in the conservative Bible Belt, the male dominated military, and the superficiality of southern California. Her story is littered with hypocritical Christians, brainwashed warriors, deadbeat band guys, and the spoiled, cocaine snorting trust fund offspring of California's elite. It also entails child abuse, eating disorders, drug cultures, social media, and military corruption.

Members Reviews:

Oh the debauchery

A rough and painful coming of age story of a strong young woman, I'm not sure she has the age, wisdom or therapy to unravel all her psychological issues for a memoir just yet. Largely unresolved in many respects.

Maggieâs step father is full of bad advice and scrutinizes her eleven year old body for ...

âJust Another Numberâ By Maggie Young is the ABCD of why women spiral into a tornado of self-hate fueled by attempts to find affection and acceptance in dry places of the soul. Anorexia, Bulimia, Cocaine, Drinking & Drugs and men.

Maggieâs step father is full of bad advice and scrutinizes her eleven year old body for any evidence of weight gain every time he looks at her. âDonât get fatâ, he says as his own stomach bulges over his pants. He is a sloppy drunk but he is a man so itâs OK. She is a Barbie Doll in the making created to service menâs needs. Her mother is busy doing facials, keeping the towels fluffy and making the house smell artificially like a real home. Her mother stifles individuality to avoid conflict with

Carl. Maggie loses her inner mirror to Carl, who takes over her self-image just as he has with her mother. As Maggie falls into Carlâs vision of her she develops dangerous habits and finds dangerous men to go with them.

Maggie has no strong adult support to steer her in a direction that would enhance her life and the bulimic void is filled with more and more drugs. She watches other females buy into the âthin as a stick, harder the prickâ viewpoint. Instead of eating healthy food and understanding that growing into womanhood means some big changes are coming, she is busy undermining her health. It is not until many years later when blood pours from orifices that she determines to stop binging and purging. Weight gain follows and compulsive exercise is not far behind. She vents her rage on her body in so many ways.

Maggie turns the tables on men with the name of her book, âJust another numberâ and gives each man in her life only a number and not even a name like a man who puts notches in his belt as trophies for the conquest of each woman. In truth, these men are nameless fixes in the path of her main addiction â men. Her conclusion about her obsession with men is âWe can deeply love our poison.â

This book is filled with the ways that women are not equal. It is her main point.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Publisher's Summary:

When Joline was a young girl, she dreamed of becoming a pastor's wife. Wait. That's not right. Strike that. She dreamed of becoming an Oscar and Tony award-winning actress, television performer, and weekly columnist. Then, she married a pastor. God is funny. In Confessions of a Pastor's Wife, Joline Pinto Atkins shares her opinions, discoveries, and personal misgivings about her experience as a pastor's wife of sixteen years. Taken from her blog, The Cuppa Jo, Joline's essays display a transparency that pastor's wives may not feel the freedom to share publicly. With her unique conversational style, Joline confesses her thoughts while managing to keep her faith intact, and she discovers the old adage "confession is good for the soul" to be true -- and comforting.

Members Reviews:

confessions

Since Joline wrote and narrated this herself, there is no misunderstanding of what she meant. I could relate to many of the things she talked about and some of it was encouraging. Also was helpful to understand that people in ministry are just people. Will listen again. I recommend highly.

Awesome essays in the ups and downs of adulthood

Love these stories, and appreciate the honesty and openness with which she shares her confessions. Joline is a witty , engaging writer who keeps me interested from start to finish

Title: Frederick Douglass

Subtitle: The Story of an American Slave

Author: Frederick Douglass

Narrator: Jim Hodges

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-02-17

Publisher: Jim Hodges Productions

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Enter the world of a slave, with all the pathos, brutal honesty, and striving of the heart to breathe free.

Frederick Douglass was born in slavery in Talbot County, Maryland. During service to masters cruel and kind, he nevertheless learned to read and write. After suffering whippings, hunger, heat, cold, and grueling labor, he escaped from slavery in 1838. In 1841 he addressed an Anti-Slavery Society convention and spoke so eloquently that they immediately employed him as an agent. He was such an impressive orator, numerous persons doubted if he had ever been a slave. In response, he wrote this, his first autobiography.

Members Reviews:

for they allow us to gain a better understanding of how far our society has come

This autobiography was assigned to me when I was a junior in high school. Three years later, as a sophomore in college, I was asked to read the book again for my class on Black Thought and Literature. I wish that I had taken the time to slow down and analyze Frederick Douglass' narrative from a literal, analytical, and figurative perspective. Had I done that the first time aroundâas opposed to treating the book as another required reading that I needed to speed-read throughâI believe that my understanding would have been more in-depth and meaningful. The emotion and conviction with which the author writes is not only poetic and moving, but captivating as well. The imagery, combined with Douglass' views on religion's role in the enslavement of black bodies, masterfully paints a story that (in combination with other narratives) has, unfortunately, been lost throughout time. In fact, many Black writers during this period refused to publish their experiences for fear that they will be caught and returned to slavery. In other cases, some writers used pen names to add some anonymity to their experiences. Nevertheless, such works should be cherished and valued; for they allow us to gain a better understanding of how far our society has come, and how much more needs to be done to ensure a future where everyone is equal (in the truest sense of the word).

. . . Truer Words . . .

Frederick Douglass paints an almost intolerably graphic picture of slavery.

Yes, he lived it, then it he escaped from it.

Sure thing, we all have an idea of what slavery was like

but our impression is diminish by Hollywood romantic movies.

"Song Of The South" and "Gone With The Wind" comes to mind.

Frederick Douglass, the man, prior to reading his memories, was also a diminished impression,

Just another photograph in a high school history book . . .

depicting a distinguished looking black man.

His postscript was simple: "Early civil rights advocate".

Of course, no mention that he born a slave and that he was self educated.

No inclusion that he was an eloquent orator, author, and highly regarded in his own lifetime.

Maybe things have changed â I was educated back in the â50s . . . hope so.

So, my belated gratitude goes to Mr. Douglass.

You added an important layer to my personal growth as a human being.

I'm still early in my eighth decade in 'this' lifetime, and

I wonder 'if' I lived before, whether I was ever a slave or much worse,

a slave owner ?

With trepidation, I dread the thought.

Read this book, best with Whispersync (audiobook) -- the selection of reader projects himself as if to become the author telling his own story.

Title: The Algonquin Kid

Subtitle: Adventures Growing Up at New York's Legendary Hotel

Author: Michael Elihu Colby

Narrator: Michael Elihu Colby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-11-17

Publisher: BearManor Media

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

The true life story of Michael Elihu Colby and his childhood days at Manhattan's Algonquin Hotel. His grandparents Mary and Ben B. Bodne had traded their Southern oil fortune for the legendary but faded Algonquin and restored the hotel's former glory. Their efforts led to a remarkable renaissance and attracted an overflow of celebrities from the ridiculous to the sublime. Michael weaves a vivid tapestry of encounters with glittering Broadway and Hollywood celebrities in a kaleidoscopic memoir of illustrious figures - some on a meteoric rise, some in tragic decline - while he found his own place in the topsy-turvy world of Broadway theater and musicals.

Members Reviews:

Love The Book & The Author

When I used to watch The Johnny Carson Show, I used to roll my eyes as he attributed great friendships to most of his guests. After reading MIchael Colby's wonderful book, I understand how so many enduring friendships in the entertainment industry can be forged.

Michael grew up mostly in The Algonquin Hotel, which was owned by his grandparents. He met or knew almost every luminary in the world of theater, movies and literature, since most of them stayed in The Algonquin when in NY.

He will regale you with stories about legends like Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy and Frank Sinatra, and countless others. I'm not going to describe those encounters. You should read about them yourself.

Two of the most delightful things about Michael Colby are his loyalty and decency. He is also a playwright and lyricist. When he was offered a Broadway production of his show "Charlotte Sweet" (which I saw and loved), he declined the offer because it would have meant replacing his beloved creatives and actors. You don't see that kind of loyalty often and when you do, it is to be admired. You also won't find a snarky word about anyone in his book, and after you read all his stories, you know he left out anything remotely unflattering by choice.

What Michael doesn't talk about, and what I know to be true, since we've been friends for almost 35 years, is how supportive his is of all of his friends. I produced a show I know he didn't like. He came to see it as a showcase, and he came back when it was done off-Broadway. And if he didn't know that I wanted him to tell me the truth about what he thought, he would have said something very nice and left it at that.

I loved this book, but more than the book, I love Michael Colby.

Algonquin Kid: A great read for the theater geek or the New York history buff

As a fan of theater, we're accustomed to stories about composers, shows, and theaters. The Algonquin Kid by Michael Colby provides a unique perspective of one of the hang-outs of playrights, composers, performers and glitterati. And it's not just from an outsider: It's from the perspective of the young grandson of the owner of the Algonquin Hotel. The book is liberally peppered with anecdotes and photographs and celebrities famous (the Kennedys, Marilyn Monroe, etc) and the not so famous. A great read and a nice gift for the theater geek in your family.

This is a funny book loaded with information only available to an Algonquin insider.

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 4 hrs and 8 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 03-10-17

Éditeur: des femmes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Résumé de l'éditeur:

"De mère africaine - arrachée à son village par des trafiquants d'esclaves - et de père inconnu - quelque marin du bateau négrier voguant vers la Guadeloupe - elle n'est ni noire ni blanche, et même ses deux yeux sont de nuance différente. Enfant, on la surnommera 'Deux-âmes'. Et finalement c'est sous le nom de 'Solitude' qu'elle vivra à la Guadeloupe dans les familles de Blancs qui l'ont achetée, puis parmi les troupes de Noirs révoltés qu'elle rejoindra à grand-peine dans leurs refuges des forêts de la Soufrière."

"L'histoire se passe aux environs de 1760 à 1802. L'abolition de l'esclavage décrétée par la Convention n'aura duré que le temps d'un rêve. Et Solitude, près de l'Africain Maïmouni qu'elle a découvert dans la forêt et dont elle partage la vie, a senti en elle-même 'battre un cœur de négresse'. C'est elle, enceinte et soutenue par ses compagnons, qui anime le dernier combat. Capturée, elle est pendue après avoir donné naissance à son enfant." (Le livre de poche : Coup de cœur des Libraires, 2015)

Tel fut le destin tragique d'une femme de légende, d'une combattante, dont l'existence réelle est parfois discutée mais qui a désormais sa statue en Guadeloupe, en mémoire de la lutte contre l'esclavage. Un récit poignant qui nous plonge au cœur d'une histoire cruelle, dans laquelle André Schwarz-Bart voyait beaucoup de similitude avec la déportation des juifs.
