    A poignant, hilarious, and inspiring memoir from the first Latino and gay Presidential Inaugural Poet, which explores his coming-of-age as the child of Cuban immigrants and his attempts to understand his place in America while grappling with his burgeoning artistic and sexual identities. 
     
     
     
    Richard Blanco's childhood and adolescence were experienced between two imaginary worlds: his parents' nostalgic world of 1950s Cuba and his imagined America, the country he saw on reruns of The Brady Bunch and Leave it to Beaver—an "exotic" life he yearned for as much as he yearned to see "la patria." 
     
     
     
    A prismatic and lyrical narrative rich with the colors, sounds, smells, and textures of Miami, Richard Blanco's personal narrative is a resonant account of how he discovered his authentic self and ultimately, a deeper understanding of what it means to be American. His is a singular yet universal story that beautifully illuminates the experience of "becoming"; how we are shaped by experiences, memories, and our complex stories: the humor, love, yearning, and tenderness that define a life.

    JACK THE RIPPER   
    The True Story   
    The summary of this audiobook is as follows: 
    Between August and November 1888, London's impoverished Whitechapel district was terrorized by a series of brutal murders attributed to "Jack the Ripper," the first notorious serial killer. Five women—Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—were killed, all prostitutes in their 40s except Kelly (25). The killer targeted victims in secluded areas, slitting their throats before mutilating their bodies with surgical precision, often removing organs. The escalating violence suggested an increasingly confident killer, possibly with medical or anatomical knowledge. 
    The murders occurred in Victorian London's East End, an overcrowded slum plagued by poverty, crime, and social tensions. Poor living conditions and limited opportunities for women forced many into prostitution, making them vulnerable targets. Despite an extensive police investigation led by Inspector Frederick Abberline, the killer evaded capture, partly due to forensic limitations and the chaotic environment.
