Alone - The Classic Polar Adventure

Admiral Richard E. Byrd

In January of 1934, Admiral Richard E. Byrd began an Antarctic expedition that would change his life forever.

"so personal that for four years I couldn't bring myself to write it."  Despite Byrd's reluctance, the book is a riveting account of survival and endurance.This version of Alone is fully produced with a soundscape of music and atmospheric effects to place you right there with Admiral Byrd through this harrowing adventure.

The Half of It - A Memoir

Madison Beer

A memoir from singer-songwriter Madison Beer, chronicling the past decade of her life spent in the spotlight—the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens that you won’t see on social media. 
Discovered at twelve years old, Madison Beer was one of the first artists to have her entire life documented online. Over the past decade, she has navigated the spotlight as a child, through her teenage years, and now as a young woman in her twenties. 
In The Half of It, Madison pulls back the curtain to show the behind-the-scenes of her journey, from reckoning with mass hate online and the time her private pictures were leaked, to battling suicidal thoughts while making her highly acclaimed debut album, Life Support, and her recovery since then. This memoir is an honest and unflinching account of self-love, mental health, and advocacy from one of the fastest-rising musical voices and most influential social media presences of her generation. It hammers home the point, more striking and urgent than ever, that no matter how close the internet may make us feel to people, we truly don’t know the half of it.

Ordinary Angels

Sharon Stevens Evans

THE AMAZING TRUE STORY—NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE 
 
 
 
A true story full of drama, love, insurmountable odds, and miraculous triumph experienced by ordinary people who rose up to answer the call to help an innocent child, about one woman in particular who looked beyond her own limitations to say yes to the impossible. 
 
 
 
Sharon Stevens, twice divorced, barely making enough to support herself, would never claim to be an angel. Early in life, perilous situations were thrust upon her. As an adult, she gravitated toward adventure and spur-of-the-moment decisions that often put her on the precipice of disaster and kept her in the pathway of people who would take advantage of her. If your aim is to find fault with her, she would be an easy target, but look again. 
 
 
 
This diminutive hair stylist was not the person you would have chosen for such a monumental task with a life hanging in the balance—but God chose her, nonetheless. And where you or I would probably have done the very least we could do, Sharon said "yes" to the impossible. She might never have stepped up and risked everything she had to help a complete stranger, but for the events that unfolded that unusually cool Kentucky August morning.
