  This fictional novel is loosely based on the popular, chart-topping, intriguing song from 1972, "Delta Dawn", by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.Delta suffered anoxia when she was born, and it left her with a lower than normal IQ and learning disabilities. Her mother felt that she was to blame, so she left Delta and her father, Frank Dawn, when Delta was just two years old. Frank’s sister, Rose, helped him raise Delta.Delta was able to get through the sixth grade, and was able to do some babysitting and some simple jobs until she got a job at Kelly’s Diner. Delta was able to concentrate and do a good job waitressing until “her Tom” came in. He was Tom Easton, a tall, good-looking man who drove a truck for the local cotton mill. She absolutely adored him. He was nice to her, but he was the “man about town” and dated several of the local women. Delta would fantasize about them being together one day. Would they ever be together? Delta’s father had worked at the neglected Sheffield cotton mill for 30 years and was now very ill with brown lung disease, along with several other workers, from breathing cotton dust for all those years. Would the greedy and abusive mill be held responsible for all their ill employees and be forced to make changes and compensate them?Tom ended up in jail for assaulting John Sheffield, Jr. because he had attempted to molest Delta. Delta wrote to him every day. Tom realized that Delta truly had a golden heart in all that she did. Did this change how he felt about Delta as a person? Did they now have a future together?  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Josie Johnson, Punch Audio. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/226031/bk_acx0_226031_sample.mp3.

  Hating Gladys , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 506min

  Gladys Pratt was in control, the mistress of her own domain. In the 60s she and her husband were running a lodge in a remote area of the Yukon. Communication to the outside world was by mail, if it got out. Gladys was a tyrant. Deeply unhappy in her own life, she made life miserable for everyone around her - her house-keeper, her cooks, and the young women who worked as her waitresses during the summer months. Kendy and Elke were two of them - fresh out of high school and heading to university, they anticipated earning enough money to pay their first semester's tuition. Elke was shy and timid, new at waitressing and often the butt of Gladys's wrath. But Kendy was more confident and found the courage to stand up to Gladys, and for that Gladys's punishment was devastating. Flash forward: Vancouver 2000. Kendy is a successful entrepreneur, and Elke a university professor. One summer day, Elke spots Gladys on the bus. She's shocked at seeing Gladys and struggles with the fierce emotions that threaten to engulf her. Elke seeks out Kendy; neither has forgotten their Yukon summer. Kendy thirsts for revenge and draws the reluctant Elke into a plan. Hating Gladys is a story of conflicting emotions told from both Elke's and Glady's points of view. Their disparate voices weave a story of wit and irony, humor and anguish. Gom explores the damaged lives of younger and older women learning to deal with bitterness and betrayal, the destructive impulses of a dangerous hatred, and the treacherous but remedial ways of understanding and forgiveness. ungekürzt.

  Tellan: Brides of the Mylos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 205min

  Laurel Chin led an ordinary, comfortable life.While many might think waitressing wasn't a great job, Laurel Chin loved it. She enjoyed meeting the customers and working side by side with her family in their small Jamaican-Chinese fusion restaurant on the edge of Birmingham's Chinatown. Like everyone else, she'd been astounded at first when the aliens appeared, but as they offered friendship and trade, she soon lost most interest in the news about them. If there was anything to worry about, she trusted Prime Minister Simms and Parliament would let the public know. She settled back into her routine of work, Sunday lunch at her mother's, and hanging out with her sister.Tellan was honoured to be named Ambassador. Tellan knew the Mylos were in need of fresh genetic trade. The humans of Earth were a bit less advanced socially and technologically than their past trade partners, so great care had to be taken when offering treaty terms. If all went smoothly, he'd soon see human institutions of higher learning teaching Mylos science and philosophy and Bride Registry Centres open across the globe. Then the Bride Fleet assigned to Earth would arrive and Tellan could return home for less fraught diplomatic duties.All was not as it first seemed.Neither Tellan nor Laurel knew that their governments had already made certain arrangements. Laurel definitely would have been wary of taking social media quizzes had she known what was about to happen. As for Tellan, he was matched and that was that, no matter how much he disapproved of the method used to do so. They had to try to make this work - the fate of both their worlds and a galactic civilisation sat upon their shoulders. It was duty, but if the match was accurate, it was also a fated love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ashley Taylor.

Jen Murphy fully embraces her gender's overall insanity, and finds the funny in her traditionally male dominated, X-rated subject matter. Stand-up comedy was not Jen Murphy's first choice for a career. After graduating high school, she attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena, CA, and at 21 made the trek to New York City, determined to become a dramatic Broadway actress. Jen spent years waitressing and performing in off, off Broadway stage productions, all the while ignoring countless acting teachers who couldn't help but laugh every time she tried to be dramatic. Eventually, no longer able to ignore the laughter, she gave up on drama and heeded their advice. She began honing her comedic chops with Second City Improv. While there, she formed an improv and sketch comedy group with her classmates, and began performing all over NYC. It wasn't long before she went one step further and ventured onto the stand-up comedy stage. After 13 years as a waitress, Jen permanently traded in her apron for a microphone. Now she travels the world bringing her snort-inducing giggles to the masses. Jen is at home on stage, and has headlined in clubs throughout Las Vegas and Southern California.

  Once in a Lifetime (eBook, ePUB)

  Sweetbitter meets Bridget Jones in a John Hughes movie, Once in a Lifetime plays against a vibrant 1980s background of everything from slam dancers and rubber jelly shoes to social anarchy and AIDS. "I've waited long enough for my life to happen. I want to be neck-deep in something that keeps me up all night. Something so cool I'll be petrified and sick to my stomach at the mere thought of it. I want to absolutely fry in inspiration, then capture it in oils and charcoals and bits of broken glass, in a piece of art that oozes magic and fear and possibility. I want to find a city. An adventure. A song. Something. To hell with the American Dream. I want a reason to kick and scream." ¿ Jessica Addentro, 1980s waitress, artist, and aspiring multimedia sensation In 1984, punk is rampant. Andy Warhol rules. And 20-year-old art student Jessica is sick of all the excitement going on without her. Hungry for the life she's convinced is just beyond her fingertips, she sets her sights on an avant-garde study abroad program in London she can't afford. Meanwhile, hometown boyfriend Drew wants to see other people if he's not exciting enough to keep her stateside. Jess and her buddies rent a beat-up apartment, trolling new wave clubs and waitressing double shifts in New Hope, PA, a cool and artsy restaurant town on the river, to scrounge-up tuition money. Then Jess meets Whit, a steamy daredevil guitarist who crawls through her window and makes her head spin like a record. The girls deal with cheating waiters, mystics, a military drag queen buddy, a Svengali bouncer, and the specter of AIDs. Before long, Jess has to decide if the men in her life will leave her as damaged as her cracked-glass mosaic art projects-and whether they'll stand in the way of her dream semester in post-punk London.
