Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Mayhem by Sigrid Rausing, read by Maggie Gyllenhaal.

A searingly powerful memoir about the impact of addiction on a family.

In the summer of 2012 a woman named Eva was found dead in the London townhouse she shared with her husband, Hans K. Rausing. The couple had struggled with drug addiction for years, often under the glare of tabloid headlines. Now, writing with singular clarity and restraint the editor and publisher Sigrid Rausing, tries to make sense of what happened to her brother and his wife.

In Mayhem, she asks the difficult questions those close to the world of addiction must face. 'Who can help the addict, consumed by a shaming hunger, a need beyond control? There is no medicine: the drugs are the medicine. And who can help their families, so implicated in the self-destruction of the addict? Who can help when the very notion of 'help' becomes synonymous with an exercise of power; a familial police state; an end to freedom, in the addict's mind?'

Resumen del editor:

La desgarradora historia de dos hermanas y su supervivencia, desde las calles de Long Island hasta las granjas de Idaho.

En la secuela tan esperada al best seller del New York Times Grabada en la arena, Regina Calcaterra se une a Rosie, su hermana menor, para relatar su historia desgarradora, aunque finalmente triunfante, de una niñez de abusos y supervivencia.

Eran cinco hijos de cinco padres diferentes y una madre alcohólica que los dejaba solos para que sobrevivieran como pudieran durante semanas. Sin embargo, durante esos momentos difíciles, se tenían la una a la otra. Rosie, la más joven, era cuidada y protegida por Regina, su hermana mayor. Cookie, su madre, irrumpe de forma inesperada en sus vidas como un huracán, destroza sin que le importe nada de lo que se encuentre a su paso.

Pero cuando Regina se emancipa aun siendo menor de edad y escapa, sus hermanos son separados. Y Rosie se da cuenta, luego de que Cookie la secuestra de un hogar temporal, que lo único peor que ser abandonada por su madre, es vivir en su presencia. Maltratada físicamente, abusada emocionalmente y obligada a trabajar en la granja donde vive Cookie en Idaho, Rosie se niega a darse por vencida. Como su hermana Regina, Rosie tiene una fortaleza incalculable ante aquella adversidad inimaginable; la suficiente para sacarla de Idaho y de aquella pesadilla.

Las memorias de Rosie, llenas de madurez y de gracia, continúan la cautivadora historia que comenzó con Grabada en la arena, un testamento sorprendente, pero profundamente conmovedor de la hermandad y valentía indomable.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

From the Kalahari Desert, to the jungles of Sierra Leone, to swinging '60s London, to France, to India and beyond, Dragon Door publisher John Du Cane has led a Forrest Gump-like life of encounters with the great, the bizarre, the dangerous, and the downright depraved. With a laconic, visceral, image-laden style reminiscent of Bob Dylan's cryptic lyrics, Du Cane delivers a set of compelling tales that exude a raw passion, a wry sense of humor, and some penetrating spiritual insights. Like a Picasso portrait from his Cubist period, these are bits and pieces that, put together, make up a face. In this case, the multifaceted face of a complex visionary and innovator who changed the face of modern fitness.

What did Mick Jagger's wife, Bianca, give John for the first time in his life? How and where did he meet Sharon Tate, shortly before she was murdered by the Charlie Manson gang? Why was John arrested and detained in the number one prison for the criminally insane in the United States? And so much more...

Title: Person Suit

Subtitle: An Anthology of Life, Loss, Love, Pain, and Mental Illness

Author: Kristi King-Morgan

Narrator: Ruth Jones

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-21-17

Publisher: Dreaming Big Publications

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

This collection of poetry, memoirs, and stories of short fiction presents to the listener such themes as depression, suicide, hopelessness, grief, loss, love, mental illness, and abuse both emotional and physical experienced by the writers or someone close to them. This collection serves to demonstrate that hiding behind shame or fear rather than sharing emotional pain as the authors in these works do is tantamount to putting on a mask; wearing a person suit. It is pretending. It is a state of existing but not truly living life to the fullest. The 11 authors featured in this collection have taken off their person suit, exposed their true selves to the world so that others may find their own voice and the courage to speak about mental illness and abuse of any kind.

Edited by Kristi King-Morgan.

The stunning and heartbreaking story of the young son of Rachel Nickell - who witnessed the brutal attack on his mother and whose childhood was shaped by the media storm that followed. A coming-of-age story that begins with a tragedy but ends in optimism, forgiveness and peace.

On a beautiful July morning in 1992, just three weeks before his third birthday, Alex Hanscombe and his young mother, Rachel Nickell, went walking on Wimbledon Common. Life was never the same again. Shortly after 10 o'clock that morning, Alex was discovered by the side of his mother's body - she had been assaulted, stabbed 49 times in a frenzied attack, and left dead. Alex was the only witness to the attack.

Letting Go is Alex's heartbreaking account of that morning, the aftermath, and the devastating effect on his father, the extended family and the wider community. Alex tells the story of the resulting media storm, the legal cases following and the peace and understanding that he has now found as a young man. In telling his story and the truth, this is the last stage of Alex's incredible journey to letting go.

Language: English

Release date: 04-25-17

Publisher: North Atlantic Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Ocean Country is an adventure story, a call to action, and a poetic meditation on the state of the seas. But most importantly it is the story of finding true hope in the midst of one of the greatest crises to face humankind: the rapidly degrading state of our environment.

After a near-drowning accident in which she was temporarily paralyzed, Liz Cunningham crisscrosses the globe in an effort to understand the threats to our dazzling but endangered oceans. This intimate account charts her thrilling journey through unexpected encounters with conservationists, fishermen, sea nomads, and scientists in the Mediterranean, Sulawesi, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Papua, New Guinea.

Critic Reviews:

"A moving testament to the human spirit." (Kirkus Reviews)

"With genuine emotion and great pragmatism, Cunningham makes passionate pleas for the continued health of the planet." (Publishers Weekly)

"Cunningham's earnest narration of travels to remote seas around the world is a compelling read. Citing examples of sustainable fisheries and marine-protected areas around the word, the book ends on the hopeful note that we may have stopped hitting the snooze button when it comes to taking action against climate change." (Booklist)

Title: The Sound of a Million Dreams

Subtitle: Awakening to Who You Are Becoming

Author: Suanne Camfield

Narrator: Sarah Zimmerman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-28-17

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

What does a dream sound like? "The first time the sound of a dream slammed hard in the center of my spirit was almost a decade ago. It's the sound that has led me on the journey whose threads are pulled through this book, an intimate pilgrimage, often ironically nomadic, that I've struggled to comprehend; it's been unlike anything else I've ever known. It happened in a coffee shop during my 30th year, and in less than two hours it caused me to listen to my life anew."

In this memoir writer and speaker Suanne Camfield writes of the varied dreams that she has pursued over the course of her life. With captivating and eloquent stories and concepts, she guides us through what it feels like to have a stirring deep inside of us and how God guides and shapes us through that sense of calling. This is not a book primarily about vocation or even discernment. It is a book about being a dreamer who is shaped by God. It is about having the wisdom and courage to step into the places of our most vulnerable longing.
