  A graceful Southern plantation bathed in soft sunlight. In the foreground, a young woman in 19th-century dress holds a baby close to her chest, her expression both tender and troubled. Behind her, an imposing mansion looms, framed by Spanish moss and towering oaks. 
  Désirée’s Baby by Kate Chopin is a powerful and poignant short story that explores themes of identity, race, motherhood, and societal expectation in the Antebellum American South. First published in 1893, this literary classic weaves emotional depth and social commentary into a gripping tale of love, prejudice, and tragic irony. 
  Set on a Louisiana plantation, the story follows Désirée, a young woman of unknown heritage, who is adopted by a wealthy family and later marries the aristocratic Armand Aubigny. But when their newborn baby’s skin tone raises questions about its ancestry, Armand’s affections vanish, and Désirée’s world begins to unravel—leading to a heart-wrenching and unforgettable conclusion. 
  This full audiobook brings Chopin’s eloquent and emotionally charged prose to life with a tender, thoughtful narration. A must-listen for fans of American literature, Southern Gothic, and short fiction that challenges norms with quiet power.

  Guatemalan Rhapsody - Stories

  A vibrant debut story collection—poignant, unflinching, and immersive—masterfully moving between sharp wit and profound tenderness, Guatemalan Rhapsody offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of an ever-changing country, the people who claim it as home, and those who no longer do 
  Ranging from a custodian at an underfunded college to a medicine man living in a temple dedicated to San Simon, the patron saint of alcohol and cigarettes, the characters in these stories find themselves at defining moments in their lives, where sacrifices may be required of them, by them, or for them. 
  In “Saint Dismas,” four orphaned brothers pose as part of a construction crew, stopping cars along the highway and robbing anyone foolish enough to hit the brakes. In “Heart Sleeves,” two wannabe tattoo artists take part in a contest, where one of them hopes to win not only first place but also the heart of his best friend’s girlfriend. And, in “Fight Sounds,” a character who fancies himself a Don Juan is swept up in the commotion of an American film crew shooting a movie in his tiny town, until the economic and sexual politics of the place are turned on their head. 
  Across this collection, Lemus’s characters test their loyalty to family, community, and country, illuminating the ties that both connect us and constrain us. Guatemalan Rhapsody explores how we journey from the circumstances that we are forged by, and whether the ability to change our fortunes lies in our own hands or in those of another. Revealing the places where beauty, desperation, love, violence, and hope exist simultaneously, Jared Lemus’s debut establishes him as a major new voice in the form.
