    The Yellow Wallpaper , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min
    The Yellow Wallpaper, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1890, details the descent of a young woman into madness. Her supportive, though misunderstanding, physician husband, John, believes it is in her best interests to go on a "rest cure" after the birth of their child. The family spends the summer at a colonial mansion that has, in the narrator's words, "something queer about it" and her depression/anxiety, (commonly diagnosed today as postpartum depression), spirals out of control as she fixates on the yellow wallpaper in their bedroom. Gilman wrote this story in an effort to illustrate how a woman's lack of autonomy can be detrimental to her mental, emotional, and even physical wellbeing. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Vernon Downs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min
    Charlie Martens is desperate for stability in an otherwise peripatetic life. An explosion that killed his parents when he was young robbed him of normalcy and he was shuttled from relative to relative, left alone to decipher the world he encountered in order to cobble together an answer as to how he would live. Ever the outcast, Charlie recognizes in Olivia, an international student from London, the sense of otherness he feels and their relationship seems to promise salvation. But when Olivia abandons him, his desperate mind fixates on her favorite writer, Vernon Downs, who becomes an emblem for reunion with Olivia. Charlie's quest takes him from Phoenix to New York City and when chance brings him into proximity to Vernon Downs, he quickly ingratiates himself into Downs' world. Proximity invites certain temptations, though, and it isn't long before Charlie moves dangerously from fandom to apprentice to outright possession. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Never Get Their Coffee: Empowering Fearless Leadership
    For fans of Rachel Hollis and Rachel Rodgers, here's a fast read that is sure to inspire the unapologetic, shame-free embrace of not playing small in life. Ladies, leadership, and legacy! Like gravity, sowing and reaping is a natural law of life-you simply reap what you sow. It naturally plays and pays out, until it DOESN'T. Time and again, history has shown that until society learns and positively changes from the past with its deeply-rooted thought patterns and norms, we are condemned to repeat its many trappings, stereotypes, and shortcomings. Never Get Their Coffee is a call to action and underscores the glass ceiling disparities of gender equity in the marketplace. However, its focus fixates on helping shape societal strides in fueling fearless leadership, and its mission is in inspiring faith and tenacity of the human spirit to dream a dream, sow a thought, reap an action...a habit...a character...and ultimately to discover one's destiny. Woods' challenge for all her readers is that death is no respecter of persons-stop apologizing for success, aim high, dream deeply, and start living your divine calling. Become doers of destiny.
