    The Invisible Girls: A Memoir by Sarah Thebarge

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/301958 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Invisible Girls: A Memoir Author: Sarah Thebarge Narrator: Sarah Thebarge Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 32 minutes Release date: April 17, 2018 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: Twenty-seven-year-old Sarah The barge had it all - a loving boyfriend, an Ivy League degree, and a successful career - when her life was derailed by an unthinkable diagnosis: aggressive breast cancer. After surviving the grueling treatments - though just barely - Sarah moved to Portland, Oregon to start over. There, a chance encounter with an exhausted African mother and her daughters transformed her life again. A Somali refugee whose husband had left her, Hadhi was struggling to raise five young daughters, half a world a way from her war-torn homeland. Alone in a strange country, Hadhi and the girls were on the brink of starvation in their own home, 'invisible' to their neighbors and to the world. As Sarah helped Hadhi and the girls navigate American life, her outreach to the family became a source of courage and a lifeline for herself. Poignant, at times shattering, Sarah The barge's riveting memoir invites readers to engage in her story of finding connection, love, and redemption in the most unexpected places.

    A Kiss Before Dying by Pamela Colloff

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/320985 to listen full audiobooks. Title: A Kiss Before Dying Series: Part of Texas Monthly Author: Pamela Colloff Narrator: Karissa Vacker, Staci Snell Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 48 minutes Release date: January 9, 2018 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: In partnership with Texas Monthly, Pamela Colloff's 'A Kiss Before Dying' is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program. Few stories feel as classic as a well-told ghost story, the kind that makes your hair stand on end or sends chills down your spine even years after its alleged happening. Almost as classic are those stories that take place in high school, starring the jocks, the cheerleaders, and the outsiders; nostalgic for a time that almost certainly never was and yet remains a stalwart of American storytelling. Pamela Colloff's 'A Kiss Before Dying' is both kinds of story and what's more, it's all true. Betty Williams was an outsider at a time when conformity was king: Texas in the 1960s. Mack Herring was the quintessential football player, handsome and well-liked by the sweater set-wearing girls Betty scoffed at. When their unlikely relationship came to an end and Betty's life began to spiral, she asked for death and Mack was more than happy to oblige. The resulting trial of Betty Williams's murder would shock no one familiar with the resolutions of today's rape cases. In 'A Kiss Before Dying,' Pamela Colloff weaves together a story that's part true crime, part high school classic, that feels at once contemporary as it does of another time.

    Busting Out of Mexico by Jan Reid

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/320984 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Busting Out of Mexico Series: Part of Texas Monthly Author: Jan Reid Narrator: Bruce DuBose Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 21 minutes Release date: January 9, 2018 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: In partnership with Texas Monthly, Jan Reid's 'Busting Out of Mexico' is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program. In Mexico, if violence and property damage are avoided, there is no law against breaking out of jail. When con artist Sterling Blake Davis, Sr. found himself with little to live for other than his son -- held in a Mexican, federal prison on charges of marijuana possession -- he thought, why not free him? What follows is a story typically reserved for the movies. The gang started by Davis, Sr. to free his son comprised a Vietnam veteran, trained in skills of war increasingly detestable to those around him; a down-on-his luck Texan in search of his next paycheck or, more accurately, his next adventure; and a naive kid hoping to live up to the tough crowd he ran with. Though each was hooked at the start by promise of money, by the end they would feel they were performing the work of heroes. 'Busting Out of Mexico' is the account of a jailbreak of Americans from a Mexican prison, with publicity outlandish enough to put penniless Texans on everyone's radar and legal ramifications that led all the way up to Gerald Ford's and Henry Kissinger's White House.

    Cops and Robbers by KATY VINE

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/312782 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Cops and Robbers Series: Part of Texas Monthly Author: KATY VINE Narrator: Lydia Mackay Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 1 minute Release date: January 9, 2018 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: In partnership with Texas Monthly, Katy Vine's 'Cops and Robbers' is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program. Law enforcement in Hidalgo County would joke that without the drug trade, half the business in the county would fail. Others would say of the region in South Texas that you'd be hard pressed to meet a local who didn't know a drug dealer. The sentiment of the local culture and economy relying on the drug trade would turn from harmless to hostile when the line between drug busters and drug dealers began to blur. In 'Cops and Robbers,' listeners are introduced to members of the Panama Unit, a group of young, eager sheriff's deputies and police officers tasked with drug busting along the active dealing border between Texas and Mexico. The unit was created by Guadalupe 'Lupe' Treviño, a popular, charismatic sheriff looking to right the wrongs of his predecessor, who had been charged with extrotion and drug trafficking. Treviño placed his arrogant son in charge of the unit, a move that many questioned and one that would be the downfall of the sheriff's office. Katy Vine explores Southern Texas's fragile relationship with the drug trade and its border with Mexico through this larger than life story of what happened to some of Texas's finest when taking part in the drug trade became more worthwhile than stopping it.

    Just Desserts by KATY VINE

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/312784 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Just Desserts Series: Part of Texas Monthly Author: KATY VINE Narrator: Lydia Mackay Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 50 minutes Release date: January 9, 2018 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: In partnership with Texas Monthly, Katy Vine's 'Just Desserts' is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins led a perfectly adequate middle class life in Corsicana, Texas. Mr. Jenkins, Sandy, worked as an accountant at Collin Street Bakery, world-famous for their fruitcakes. Kay, Mrs. Jenkins, was the more outgoing of the two, the one that friends and neighbors actually noticed and didn't mind talking to. Feelings of adequacy and invisibility weighed on Sandy, and were only compounded by his admiration of boss bakery owner Bob McNutt, a man who reminded him daily that others were respected and were living more luxurious lives than he. One day, Sandy decided to seize a bit of that respect and finer life he admired so much in McNutt for himself. With just a bit of manipulation of the bakery's accounts, Sandy wrote the first of many checks in the company's name to pay for the life of luxury he envisioned was his right. Combining a quintessential tale of living above one's means with the addiction of committing a crime time and again without getting caught, Katy Vine delivers the hard-to-imagine story of the Jenkinses and their mysterious rise through Corsicana society.

    Lost and Found by KATY VINE

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/312783 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Lost and Found Series: Part of Texas Monthly Author: KATY VINE Narrator: Lydia Mackay Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 55 minutes Release date: January 9, 2018 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: In partnership with Texas Monthly, Katy Vine's 'Lost and Found' is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program. Katy Vine's 'Lost and Found' is a thoughtful and uplifting look into a refugee community in the heart of Texas at a time when political sentiment surrounding refugees and immigration turned increasingly negative. Texas is known nationwide for accepting a high ratio of refugees admitted to the United States. Though most end up in Houston, the smaller city of Amarillo has become a harbor for new immigrants looking to start anew. One key part of the vital Amarillo refugee community is Evelyn Lyles, a woman in her 60s who volunteers her time to help families assimilate and learn the ways of their new homeland. Her help ranges from assisting new families with the myriad forms and paperwork required of them; rallying community support to pay for steep medical bills; or simply, serving as a friendly, generous neighbor. 'Lost and Found' is a snapshot as life as a refugee, honing in on a few families, each with their own struggles and obstacles, their own dreams and hopes for the future, and the common thread of a helping hand in Evelyn.

    Off the Charts: The Hidden Lives and Lessons of American Child Prodigies by ANN HULBERT

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/312770 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Off the Charts: The Hidden Lives and Lessons of American Child Prodigies Author: ANN HULBERT Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 4 minutes Release date: January 9, 2018 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: From the author of the widely praised Raising America--a compelling exploration of child genius told through the gripping stories of fifteen exceptionally gifted boys and girls, from a math wonder a century ago to young jazz and classical piano virtuosos today. A thought-provoking book for a time when parents anxiously aspire to raise 'super children' and experts worry the nation is wasting the brilliant young minds it needs. Ann Hulbert examines the lives of children whose rare accomplishments have raised hopes about untapped human potential and questions about how best to nurture it. She probes the changing role of parents and teachers, as well as of psychologists and a curious press. Above all, she delves into the feelings of the prodigies themselves, who push back against adults more as the decades proceed. Among the children are the math genius Norbert Wiener, founder of cybernetics, a Harvard graduate student at age fifteen; two girls, a poet and a novelist, whose published work stirred debate in the 1920s; the movie superstar Shirley Temple and the African American pianist and composer Philippa Schuyler; the chess champion Bobby Fischer; computer pioneers and autistic 'prodigious savants'; and musical prodigies, present and past. Off the Charts also tells the surprising inside stories of Lewis Terman's prewar study of high-IQ children and of the postwar talent search begun at Johns Hopkins, and discovers what Tiger Mom Amy Chua really has to tell us. But in these moving stories, it is the children who deliver the most important messages.

    Showdown at Waggoner Ranch by Gary Cartwright

    Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/320987 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Showdown at Waggoner Ranch Series: Part of Texas Monthly Author: Gary Cartwright Narrator: Bruce DuBose Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 51 minutes Release date: January 9, 2018 Genres: Social Science Publisher's Summary: In partnership with Texas Monthly, Gary Cartwright's 'Showdown at Waggoner Ranch' is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program. 'Showdown at Waggoner Ranch' is the saga of Texas's second largest ranch and its shambles of an inheritance left by W.T. Waggoner to his descendants. It is a history of a sliver of Texas's elite, how they made their money and how they, often scandalously, spent their time. Simultaneously, it is a nod to the cowboy lifestyle that stands at risk should the feud of the Waggoner inheritance actually put the fate of the ranch at risk. With a rollicking cast of characters -- Native American chiefs, Teddy Rooosevelt, an eight-time divorcee, the best and richest of East Coast society -- Gary Cartwright offers a rich exploration into the creation of an empire and its imminent downfall.
