  “Exhilarating from start to finish. Pip shares her unique knowledge of this jungle frontier and takes us on a journey of discovery through some of the harshest terrain on earth. An incredible adventure.” LEVISON WOOD 
   
  This is the tale of an epic three-month adventure through unexplored jungle terrain – and it might even change your life 
  Fuelled by a zest for life and the desire to explore the world around her, Pip Stewart took on a world-first challenge: following Guyana’s Essequibo River from source to sea. With the help of guides from the Waî Waî indigenous community, Pip and her teammates journeyed through the rainforest, facing peril every day as they kayaked rapids, traversed waterfalls and hacked their way through the mountainous jungle of the Guiana Shield, before finally reaching the Atlantic Ocean. 
  Survival skills and a flesh-eating parasite weren’t the only things Pip took home from the rainforest. From contending with snakes to learning about the value of community, forgiveness and self-belief, in Life Lessons from the Amazon Pip shares many pearls of wisdom that we can all apply to our own lives. Her hard-won insights invite us to embrace the wildness within ourselves and live more every day.

When not writing, she can usually be found outside with her partner, Charlie, and daughter, Willow. Connect and share your own adventures through life: @PipStewart.

  When a routine surf trip catastrophically injures her partner, Colette finds herself confronting a new reality where every moment teeters between life and death. As he lies in a coma, she refuses to surrender to despair—speaking words of encouragement in hushed hospital rooms, dreaming of sunrise surf sessions, and drafting poems that capture hope’s fragile flame. Through months of uncertain diagnoses, grueling therapy sessions, and the weight of fragmented memories, their love becomes the compass guiding them both. Listeners will be drawn into Colette’s fierce determination to rebuild a life shattered by tragedy, witnessing small victories—an eyelid flutter, a whispered phrase, a first tentative step—transform into monumental progress. Vivid soundscapes of crashing waves, hushed hospital corridors, and sunrise breezes immerse audiences in a journey that is as much about personal resilience as it is about reclaiming purpose. In a voice that balances raw vulnerability with unwavering resolve, this audiobook reminds us that true recovery isn’t measured by speed, but by the courage to try again—and the power of love to light the way forward.

  Dear Mom and Dad - A Letter...

  Written with dignity and grace in the form of a letter to her parents, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, Dear Mom and Dad is that surprisingly poignant work that succeeds not only as a memoir but as a moving account that will inspire listeners to recall their own childhoods in a totally new light. 
   
   
   
  Eager to retell the narrative of her own family and her coming-of-age, Patti Davis casts aside misperceptions that defined her in the past. Far from being the enfant terrible, Dear Mom and Dad reveals young Patti as a sensitive child, who was not able to be the public person her family demanded. Davis casts an empathetic yet honest eye on her parents—on her father, the eternal lifeguard, who saved seventy-seven people, yet failed to create a coherent AIDS policy, and her mother, who never escaped her own tortured youth. 
   
   
   
  What comes across are Davis's burnished skills as a writer. Even as she unravels her mother's highly edited persona, and her father's loving but distant personality, Davis remains steadfast in her artistic expression, as she melds irony, comedy, and tragedy with dreamlike memories of an ever-present past. Dear Mom and Dad, with its account of her father's Alzheimer's and her mother's end-of-life struggles, becomes an account of forgiveness, reaching levels of redemption rarely found in contemporary memoirs.
