    Holler at Your Girl: My Crime - Attempted Murder , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    All audiobooks authored by inmates, on inmates.Cjay is a transgender woman of color, housed in San Quentin, the San Francisco Bay Area’s internationally known California state prison. Cjay has been to nearly as many prisons as she has fingers on her hands, yet nothing in her upbringing predestined her for crime. Addiction does that to people - turns the good bad. Cjay loved and hated drugs. Drugs allowed her mind to rest, but her mind could not rest without them. Her mind, in fact, was spinning with pain, guilt, and rejection. Being transgender, especially in the 1980s and 1990s, was the life of pariah. Fortunately for Cjay, she had her fellow trans-sisters. Holler at Your Girl is a one-of-a-kind account of a presently incarcerated transgender woman who knew from an early age her identity yet had to suffer immense trials before finding her soul. ungekürzt.

    Every Breath She Takes , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 598min
    Veterinarian Lauren Townsend has good reason for hiding her psychic ability. Not only did her “freakishness” earn her pariah status in the small town where she grew up, it cost her a fiancé and her faith in love. When Lauren foresees a murder - through the killer’s eyes - she traces the victim to a sprawling ranch, never guessing what waits for her.... Cal Taggart’s rugged ranch life doesn’t need any more complications. His stubborn determination cost him his marriage, and now it may cost him his livelihood. But then beautiful Lauren enters his corral....with danger close behind. And Cal wants nothing more than to protect her. They can’t deny their intense attraction. Nor do they want to.

    Cassandra Darke
    ***WINNER OF THE COMEDY WOMEN IN PRINT PRIZE 2020***'Simmonds is a copper-bottomed genius... she is as brilliant a writer as Britain has' Jenny Colgan, Mail OnlineCassandra Darke is an art dealer, mean, selfish, solitary by nature, living in Chelsea in a house worth £7 million.She has become a social pariah, but doesn't much care. Between one Christmas and the next, she has sullied the reputation of a West End gallery and has acquired a conviction for fraud, a suspended sentence and a bank balance drained by lawsuits. On the scale of villainy, fraud seems to Cassandra a rather paltry offence - her own crime involving 'no violence, no weapon, no dead body'.But in Cassandra's basement, her young ex-lodger, Nicki, has left a surprise, something which implies at least violence and probably a body . . . Something which forces Cassandra out of her rich enclave and onto the streets. Not those local streets paved with gold and lit with festive glitter, but grimmer, darker places, where she must make the choice between self-sacrifice and running for her life.

    Sula
    Morrison's first novel, "The Bluest Eye" (1970), was acclaimed as the work of an important talent. "Sula" has the same power, the same beauty. At its center is a friendship between two women, a friendship whose intensity first sustains, then injures.Two girls who grow up to become women. Two friends who become something worse than enemies. In this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison tells the story of Nel Wright and Sula Peace, who meet as children in the small town of Medallion, Ohio. Their devotion is fierce enough to withstand bullies and the burden of a dreadful secret. It endures even after Nel has grown up to be a pillar of the black community and Sula has become a pariah. But their friendship ends in an unforgivable betrayal-or does it end? Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sula is a work that overflows with life. "You can't go wrong by reading or re-reading the collected works of Toni Morrison. Beloved, Song of Solomon, The Bluest Eye, Sula, everything else - they're transcendent, all of them. You'll be glad you read them."--Barack Obama

    Dogs of India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    Dogs, monkeys, corruption and sexual politics: Dogs of India draws on the complex, chaotic and colourful tradition of Indian storytelling in a spicy literary blend of Animal Farm versus Holy Cow via Bollywood. Revenge. A dish best served cold. Or, if you’re Sydney native Lola Wedd, with a broken heart and a life in chaos, a dish served up by heading to India to marry a total stranger as part of an international visa scam. Lola naïvely thought she would "find herself" in India. Instead she is enmeshed in a drama worthy of Bollywood, starring an abandoned pariah dog, a dead civil servant, a vengeful actor, a suicidal housewife, a boutique hotel owner, a blushing chauffeur, an absent groom, an ambitious girl journalist and a megalomaniac monkey. As Lola begins to understand the consequences of her choices, she ignites a series of events that lead to a Diwali festival more explosive than anyone in New Delhi could have imagined. ungekürzt.
