Title: Down the Dirt Roads

Author: Rachael Treasure

Narrator: Jennifer Vuletic

Length: 8 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Publisher's Summary:

A powerful and moving memoir about healing, healthy food and hope by Australia's leading rural writer and environmental entrepreneur.

'For me, being in a paddock means anything is possible....'

Country girl and best-selling novelist Rachael Treasure had worked hard to build a long-dreamed-of lifestyle on her own patch of dirt in Tasmania's rugged and beautiful wilderness. But through the breakdown of her marriage, Rachael lost her family farm and, in her words, lost her way in life.

Discovering an all-new compass to live by, she took her two kids and her dogs and left the beaten path. Intensive farming, men on the land and women in the home - everywhere Rachael looked she saw ongoing harm to the soil and the foodchain. By going down the dirt roads and getting back to grassroots, she discovered another set of stories about country life in Australia, and a different way to live on the land.

From her rebel granny to pioneering farmers and passionate animal handlers, Rachael became inspired by fresh ways to do things. Down the Dirt Roads starts as a heartfelt and moving insight into the life of a single mother displaced from her home, and becomes a ground-breaking and powerful book about healing, health and hope. Nourishing and sustaining, it presents a practical and positive vision of what life on our land could become.

Title: The Sea Is Only Knee Deep, Volume 1

Author: Paul Weinzweig, Paulina Zelitsky

Narrator: Paulina Zelitstky

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 1 min

Language: English

Release date: 07-31-17

Publisher: Paulina Zelitstky

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

The authors draw back the Cuban/Soviet curtain on an undisclosed Soviet navy nuclear confrontation lasting 20 years with the United States and on the cover-up by the American government of an aggressive undercover spy war with Fidel Castro - the world's most idiosyncratic, brilliant, but obsessively vindictive psychopath and power-hungry megalomaniac leader.

Standing at the crossroads of autobiography and contemporary history, The Sea Is Only Knee Deep presents an intimate and bittersweet portrait of the coming of age of a fiercely independent Jewish girl raised by her father, a former sea captain, in the Black Sea city of Odessa, Ukraine, during and after Stalin's last decade of Soviet power. Interwoven with her childhood narrative of a streetwise kid deftly dodging the suffocating strictures of Communist tyranny is a Cold War thriller arising from Paulina's personal involvement with a top secret Soviet submarine base in Cuba. The base was home to a fleet of Soviet nuclear subs armed with ballistic and cruise missiles with nuclear warheads aimed at America. Concealed from the Western public and hidden beneath the ocean, this Soviet submarine base served as a major nuclear arms missile platform in the backyard of the United States where it operated secretly and in defiance of international treaties for over two decades. Domestic political considerations during the Vietnam War kept the US government silent.

This dramatic personal story, based on a young woman's experience from the real world, is often more fascinating than any fictional thriller. Paulina's tender and loving relationship with her father served her as the only guide through the dangerous and dark period of Soviet state tyranny. She resisted the massive false propaganda, misery, demoralization, state anti-Semitism, and degradation of dignity that were used to control the Soviet public for 75 years of its existence.

Boken är mycket tilltalande, bilderna är mnga... Författarens hllning är föredömlig: initierad, engagerad och med respektfull distans ger hon inblickar i Astrid Lindgrens världar.

Any additional comments?

This book was an emotional that starts off with a simple note stating that the author is writing believing no one will read this. If you have lost a child, I think this may be a difficult one, but you may would just find comfort and a sense of kinship and a knowing your not alone

Title: Unexpected America

Publisher's Summary:

Mr. Millionaire and his wife met me at Boca Raton airport in Florida. As they approached, I wondered whether to shake their hands, as we do in Kenya, or hug them like students did on campus. No problem! The take-charge benefactor approached, his broad smile fixed on me. "Hello, Wanjiru!" He relieved me of my luggage and, with a wave of his right hand, presented his wife. She stretched her wrinkled skinny hand while she maintained eye contact. I shook her soft hand and said how nice it was to meet her.

She wore a dress with tiny prints halfway down to her shins, with a sweater draped over her shoulders. Short, five-foot-two tops, petite, fragile with blonde or grey hair, I couldn't tell the difference. She looked ordinary, without the rich look I had conjured in my mind. Before we left the airport, and later at their residence, I caught her sneak glances at me. Perhaps her husband had oversold me, and the woman expected an executive woman. I never applied makeup in Nairobi or San Diego. That must have made me look too plain to American eyes. Well, I wore the best clothes I owned, a pair of blue jeans and a turquoise-green top I bought at Kmart.

At the parking lot, Mr. Millionaire opened their luxurious car's front passenger door. After his wife settled in, he opened the back door and shut it after I entered. I sat almost at the edge of the backseat with the door as support and placed my purse on my left side. It made me feel snug and secure.

As soon as he eased the quiet car from the airport, Mr. Millionaire described everything noteworthy along our route. But my mind focused on how I would last for six weeks in the couple's household. I recalled how much I had enjoyed his company back in Nairobi, but in Boca Raton uneasiness unsettled me. I had never entered a white person's house before. Do they live a regular life as we do in Kenya? Will they give me a lockable bedroom so I can feel secure at night? How do they cook their food?

You actually feel like you are living her life through her eyes.

Review of Unexpected America

Having traveled to 86 countries and lived on two continents, I found âUnexpected Americaâ an accurate reflection of my own experiences and culture shock when immersed in a foreign environment. Her depictions are extremely detailed, and in most cases, you actually feel like you are living her life through her eyes.

Wanjiru encounters far more discrimination and difficulties than I did, even with her attendance at United States International University (USIU), based in Nairobi, a multi-cultural school with a branch in California. I would assume that âDiversityâ would be its middle name, but my assumption may be wrong. Wanjiru talks about a feeling of initially being isolated and alone. We found that this to be true when you are adrift in a different culture, customs and language, and her portrait is done well.

Through the book, Wanjiru has many interesting experiences, told through the eyes of a person whose origin is not from the USA. A particularly endearing quality is her calling the people that she meets by her own descriptors. We have Mr. Savior, Mrs. IBM, Miss. Nutcase, etc. That really keeps the personality of the person in focus as you go along.

Wanjiru has written an interesting, entertaining, and thought-provoking memoir, which is very much worth your time.

När Isadora Duncan tog av sig sina skor p dansgolvet startade hon en "Duncan-feber" i Europa. Duncan var en pionjär inom dansen, och var en av de första att överge den klassiska baletten och lta rörelserna anpassas till kroppen.

Hon var en förkämpe för kvinnors rättigheter och levde som hon lärde: fritt och ständigt p resande fot. Isadora hade förhllande med ett antal berömda män och blev en framgngsrik och älskad konstnär. Hennes liv blev färgstarkt, men tragiskt. Hennes tv barn dog i en drunkningsolycka i Seine och hennes make, poeten Sergej Jesenin, begick självmord.

I "Mitt liv" berättar dansösen med egna ord om sitt liv, sin konst och sina kärlekar. I originalöversättning av Märta Lindqvist Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) var en amerikansk dansös som sägs ha uppfunnit den moderna dansen. Hon levde i USA, Frankrike, Tyskland, Ungern, Italien och Sovjetunionen och var en förebild för mnga genom sitt frigjorda liv.

It is beautifully written to capture a life from adolescence to womanhood ...

This is a horrifying story of one woman's journey to illumination. It is beautifully written to capture a life from adolescence to womanhood and shows the freeing nature of self-discovery. I worked with Stefani Michelle on this novel as her editor. She is an amazing woman with infinite capacity to positively affect the lives of all she encounters. What a gift and a journey it was to help see this project to fruition. Reality at its rawest refinery. A must read.

Title: Summary, Analysis, and Review of David Finkel's Thank You for Your Service

Author: Start Publishing Notes

Narrator: Michael Gilboe

Format: Unabridged

Length: 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-19-17

Publisher: Start Publishing Notes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Please note: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book.

Journalist David Finkel, who had previously written about the experiences of an Army infantry division fighting in Baghdad, now tells the story of soldiers grappling with the after-effects of their service in Iraq. Finkel focuses primarily on Adam Schumann, an extremely capable non-commissioned officer now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after witnessing several horrific scenes during combat as well as feeling tremendous guilt for missions he didn't go on that resulted in the death of colleagues.

Schumann returned from Iraq after these events and struggled to readjust to family life. He and his wife Saskia have a strained relationship. She feels the requisite amount of guilt for the injuries that he suffered, but also believes he must put that behind him and return to serving as a husband and a provider. Because he has not won a generous disability pension, like other injured colleagues, his diminished cognition and impaired judgment have combined to limit him to menial jobs and much-reduced workloads. He also experiences mood swings and nightmares, recurring conditions that have not endeared him to Saskia, who is struggling to raise their two children. Saskia has a complicated relationship with Amanda Doster, wife of Adam's deceased friend James Doster and the beneficiary of a large Army death benefit, whom she alternately pities and envies (and borrows money from, without ever paying it back).
