    The second volume of Adler’s New York stories in which all the heartache, joy, pain, and anguish of the Big Apple zeitgeist comes to life. These unforgettable stories will make you laugh and cry as a remarkable parade of characters pursue their busy lives in the greatest city on earth.  Acclaimed author Warren Adler focuses his laser eye on New York City in these 21 vividly rendered short stories, revealing New York as the heartbeat of America, where creativity resides in every nook and cranny and energy pulsates through its pavements and infuses its denizens, inveterate New Yorkers. In a continuation of New York Echoes 1, Adler’s themes in New York Echoes 2 deal primarily with intimate human relationships - the mysterious nature of love and attraction, the fragile bonds between husbands and wives and parents and children; the divide between generations; the obsessive pursuit of the creative artist and the emotional toll it exacts.  In these stories, past memories collide with present realities, and chance encounters have unexpected consequences. All of the hallmarks of Adler’s fiction are at play in New York Echoes 2 and delivered through these powerful stories that reflect a special understanding of the human condition as seen through the eyes of one of America’s most prolific authors.

    When the Bluebonnets Come , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    When I get to heaven, one of the first things I'm gonna ask God is why he only let me figure out so many things later when I could've used 'em earlier, says Katie Shanahan as she remembers growing up in the heart of bluebonnet country near Cotton Patch, Texas. It was a childhood filled with playful animals, sweeping vistas of fragrant wildflowers, salt-of-the-earth people of the land, and a loving daddy who was a preacher and had been a football hero. What her father, Ethan, found when he trailed a rabid dog, however, was the beginning of the end of life as young Katie knew it. Soon, a parade of unwelcome visitors descended upon Cotton Patch, churches were burned, and division came to the Shanahans' own church and even their home. Decades later, Katie remembers watching her father stand up against forces far more powerful than himself and how she learned that courage, loyalty, and honor are more than words - and they sometimes come with a high price. Author John J. Dwyer's Civil War-era historical novels Stonewall and Robert E. Lee have sold tens of thousands of copies. They have built for him a large following of people appreciative of his poignant, gritty, often inspiring style. In When the Bluebonnets Come, Dwyer - a college history professor - turns his focus to a folksy, bittersweet tale of the modern Texas of his birth. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lara Wells.

    Old Goriot , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 604min
    Balzac’s universally loved novel explores the great theme of money and its effect on the human character. Old Goriot is a lodger at Madame Vauquer’s Parisian boarding house. At first, his wealth inspires respect, but as his circumstances are reduced, he is gradually shunned. He moves into smaller and less desirable rooms in the house, and soon his only remaining visitors are two beautiful young women. The mystery as to who they are and what is happening to Goriot’s fortune involves several other boarders, including Rastignac, an ambitious youth who hopes to rise in society. With its complicities and alliances, mysteries and betrayals, passions and ambitions, the house becomes a microcosm of the grasping Parisian society of the 1820s - a perfect setting for Balzac’s masterful portrayal of La Comédie humaine, the whole comedic parade of human life. HONORÉ DE BALZAC (1799–1850), was born in Tours, France, educated at the Collège de Vendôme, and studied law at the Sorbonne. His father wished him to become a lawyer, but he left Tours in 1819 to seek his fortune as an author in Paris. He wrote eighty-five novels in twenty years, but his life was one of frequent privation. In 1850, he married Madame Hanska, a rich Polish lady with whom he had corresponded for more than fifteen years but had only just met in person. Five months later, Balzac died in Paris. ungekürzt.

    The Night: Love in O'Leary, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min
    One night, in Vegas, I gave him my heart. One day later, he broke it.Look, I’ve never claimed to be a nice guy. I don’t do pretty words, I don’t give polite smiles, and I refuse to be sucked into the sappy bucket of sentimentality that is Christmas in small-town O’Leary. Smiling neighbors, overly decorated trees, a town parade, a Santa contest? Ho ho no. I do shifts as a firefighter, and I go home alone.I fell into the trap once - that stupid night in Vegas - of believing there was more out there for me. I took a chance on a guy with magical green eyes and a gorgeous smile. The next day, Liam McKnight was gone. He took my heart with him, and left his wedding ring behind.Except, now, my once-upon-a-time husband has reappeared with a kid in tow, and there are carols, lights, and cookies everywhere I turn. And worst of all, the spark between us burns brighter than ever because whatever happened in Vegas definitely didn’t stay there. Liam came to town looking for an ending, but what’s building between us feels an awful lot like a beginning. Too bad it’s going to take more than a dozen interfering O’Learians to convince me to take a second chance on heartache, on love...and on us.Please note: While The Night is very much Liam and Gideon's story, characters from past books do make an appearance, and you'll enjoy the book exponentially more if this isn't your first trip to O'Leary. ungekürzt.

    Key Changes: A Musical Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 425min
    Key Changes is a highly entertaining, frank and personal account of the highs and lows of show business, from post-war Twice Nightly Variety to the present day by renowned composer and performer, Denis King. Known as a brilliant anecdotalist, King himself reads his memoirs which are funny, poignant and eye-opening; he also illustrates them with his own piano-playing and personal sound archive. In the 1950s and early 1960s King was a member of Britain's first-ever boy band, The King Brothers. Since then he has composed over 200 TV themes, including ITV's award-winning The Adventures of Black Beauty, and has collaborated with numerous theatre legends to write more than 25 stage musicals - Privates on Parade among them. His career has encompassed every aspect of show business, performing to producing and composing; and he has experienced success alongside disaster and betrayal. The artists with whom King has worked read like a Who's Who of British and American stage and screen: Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Tony Bennett, Nina Simone, Howard Keel, Sammy Cahn, Albert Finney, Dame Edna Everage, Maureen Lipman, Elaine Stritch, Julia McKenzie, Dudley Moore, Jimi Hendrix, Ronnie Corbett, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland... and many more. Key Changes is not just a potted history or a lengthy name-drop. It is a funny, intimate portrait of the grind as well as the glamour in what many outside the entertainment industry assume is a charmed way to earn a living. And indeed, according to King, it often is. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Denis King. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/040731/bk_acx0_040731_sample.mp3.

    Once a Girl, Always a Boy: A Family Memoir of a Transgender Journey , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 491min
    Jeremy Ivester is a transgender man. Thirty years ago, his parents welcomed him into the world as what they thought was their daughter. As a child, he preferred the toys and games our society views as masculine. He kept his hair short and wore boys’ clothing. They called him a tomboy. That’s what he called himself.By high school, when he showed no interest in flirting, his parents thought he might be lesbian. At 20, he wondered if he was asexual. At 23, he surgically removed his breasts. A year later, he began taking the hormones that would lower his voice and give him a beard - and he announced his new name and pronouns.Once a Girl, Always a Boy is Jeremy’s journey from childhood through coming out as transgender and eventually emerging as an advocate for the transgender community. This is not only Jeremy’s story, but also that of his family, told from multiple perspectives - those of the siblings who struggled to understand the brother they once saw as a sister, and of the parents who ultimately joined him in the battle against discrimination. This is a story of acceptance in a world not quite ready to accept.It has received starred reviews from Kirkus Review and the Library Journal. It has been featured on reading lists in Ms. and Parade magazines. It was included in USA Today's list of the 10 best LGBTQ reads for Pride Month.The audiobook was recorded by the author and her family. ungekürzt. Language: English.
