Lavender Jessamine - Memories Of A Heart On The Mend

Anderson Jr. Banks

Maison d'édition: Spines

Synopsis

In the deep embrace of emotional tides, Andrew navigates the labyrinth of recovery and self-discovery. What began as two Panic Attacks in high school turned out to be the beginning of something much more serious. Weathering the storms of a tumultuous past, this narrative unwinds the delicate strands of pain, endurance, and resilience that form the web of his existence. Andrew's journey begins in the Yellow Jessamine state of South Carolina, the home of Parris Island. His journey is a testament to the human spirit's capacity to mend, to emerge from shadows with clarity and strength. Through the disciplined chapters of Marine Corps training and the reflective ink of journal entries, readers are guided through a transformative odyssey where one man confronts the specters of abuse, the whispers of first love and first heartbreak, and the unspoken covenant of familial bonds. Enter a world where the Marine Corps' rigid framework becomes a crucible for change. Here unfolds a tale of one man's indomitable will to reclaim his humanity and step into the light of self-acceptance, armed with the understanding that even in solitude, connections run deep and every heart is a battleground of its own.

Uncommon Measure - A Journey...

Natalie Hodges

How does time shape consciousness and consciousness, time? Do we live in time, or does time live in us? And how does music, with its patterns of rhythm and harmony, inform our experience of time? Uncommon Measure explores these questions from the perspective of a young Korean American who dedicated herself to perfecting her art until performance anxiety forced her to give up the dream of becoming a concert solo violinist. Anchoring her story in illuminating research in neuroscience and quantum physics, Natalie Hodges traces her own passage through difficult family dynamics, prejudice, and enormous personal expectations to come to terms with the meaning of a life reimagined—one still shaped by classical music but moving toward the freedom of improvisation.

CABIN - Off the Grid Adventures...

Patrick Hutchison

This program is read by the author.“This is a great audiobook for nature lovers, carpenters, and people who dream of their hobby becoming their day job.”—AudioFileA memoir of the author's journey from an office job to restoring a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, based on his wildly popular Outside Magazine piece.Wit’s End isn’t just a state of mind. It’s the name of a gravel road, the address of a rundown, off-the-grid cabin, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state.To say Hutchison didn’t know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he’s a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. CABIN is the story of those renovations, but it's also a love story; of a place, of possibilities, and of the process of construction, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is an audiobook for those who know what it’s like to bite off more than you can chew, or who desperately wish to.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

All My Sons

Arthur Miller

World War II is over and a family, mourning a son missing in action, plants a memorial tree and tries to go on with their lives. A storm blows down the tree and a devastating family secret is uprooted, setting the characters on a terrifying journey towards truth. Based upon a true story, All My Son is a classic drama by one of America’s greatest playwrights.

At the heart of All My Sons lies a scathing criticism of the American Dream. After its publication Arthur Miller was called to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, where he famously refused to give evidence against others.

Tony Award Winner for Best Author (1947)

AudioFile Magazine review: “One of the strengths of L.A. Theatre Works is their skill at selecting quality plays previously unavailable on audio. Arthur Miller’s 1947 breakthrough play is at once a postwar family drama, an indictment of false societal values and a searing tragedy. James Farentino plays businessman Joe Keller with a gruff bluster that sometimes masks a sacrificial love for his son Chris (Arye Gross), an idealist home from the war. Julie Harris, as the mother, Kate, is alternately needy, demanding, lovingly solicitous and willfully blind to the past. The live responses of the audience underscore the touches of humor that season the early acts of this landmark American drama.”

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring James Farentino, Arye Gross, Julie Harris, Mitchell Hebert, Naomi Jacobson, Barbara Klein, Paul Morella, Michaeleen O'Neil, Nathan Taylor and Jerry Whiddon.
