Daddy Boy

Emerson Whitney

After a decade-long relationship with a dominatrix he called Daddy, Emerson Whitney had begun to crave something besides submission. It came as a full surprise‚ submission had been so central to his early adulthood, to his trans identity. Dizzied by new questions of control and aging, and living in a tent while his relationship ends, Emerson stumbles upon an advertisement for a storm-chasing tour. For thrill seekers, it says. Unsure what else to do, he signs up.Daddy Boy follows Emerson as he packs into a van full of strangers and drives up and down the country‚ staying in Days Inns and eating bags of carrots from Walmart and wanting nothing more than to surrender to the force of a colossal storm. We had no idea where we were going, Emerson writes, ‚ just waiting for one cloud to pop. Roaming the prairie landscape of his childhood, Emerson recalls his adoptive dad, Hank‚ unflinching and extremely Texan, and his biological dad, who was rarely around. From the van's trash-strewn back seat, and in the face of these looming figures, Emerson begins to wonder: Did he want to be Daddy now?

Walk to Freedom:...

John L. Lenburg

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
June 30, 1944, fifty members of the United States 460th Bomb Group embarked on an important mission to destroy German oil refineries in Silesia, Hungary, only to come under heavy attack. Above the cloud cover, German twin-engine Me-410 fighters firing 20-millimeter cannons blasted seven B-24s out of the sky. Seventeen U.S. airmen were killed, twenty-four captured, with many burned, wounded, or beaten by Hungarian peasants after parachuting to the ground. This single event marked the beginning of a heart-wrenching episode in the life of one airman: T/Sgt. John L. Lenburg. On his thirty-sixth mission, he was shot down along with the crew of their B-24, “Miss Fortune,” over enemy lines near Lake Balaton, Hungary. Taken prisoner (or “Kriegsgefangenen #6410,” the code name the Germans gave him), he never knew if he would see his homeland again.
WALK TO FREEDOM: Kriegsgefangenen #6410 - Prisoner of War is Lenburg’s powerful, compelling account of his 327 days of imprisonment and long walk to freedom eleven months after his capture. Recalling the inhumane treatment and horrific conditions of his encampment, the missions and memories, and the reunions of the few who survived fifty years later, this revised and expanded, illustrated memoir demonstrates why Lenburg and his crew were “the greatest generation” of their time.
REVIEWS
"A stirring account of experiences in the Army Air Force during World War II and particularly his time in a Nazi prison camp." - Indianapolis Star
"A powerful saga of violence, suffering, strength of character and the determination to persevere...a welcome and much appreciated contribution to the growing library of World War II combatant biographies and eye-witness memoirs." --Midwest Book Review

Dark Journeys - Unmasking Israel...

Myles Henman

In the shadowed corners of America, a predator moved unseen. Israel Keyes was a name unknown to most—a seemingly ordinary man who meticulously concealed a life of darkness beneath a veneer of normalcy. "Dark Journeys: Unmasking Israel Keyes's Hidden Trail" delves deep into the enigmatic existence of one of the most elusive serial killers in modern history.
This gripping account takes you on a journey through Keyes's life, from his isolated upbringing in rural America to his disciplined years in the U.S. Army, and into the calculated methods that allowed him to commit crimes across the country without detection. Unveiling the complex layers of his double life, the book explores how Keyes balanced his roles as a devoted father and small business owner with his hidden compulsions.
Through extensive research and compelling narrative, each chapter reveals how Keyes evaded law enforcement by exploiting gaps in the system, utilizing "kill kits" buried in multiple states, and selecting victims at random to avoid patterns. The detailed examination of his crimes—including the chilling abduction of Samantha Koenig—sheds light on his meticulous planning and the psychological mechanisms that enabled his actions.
The book also chronicles the relentless efforts of investigators who, piece by piece, uncovered the truth behind Keyes's facade. It highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement in tracking a criminal who defied conventional profiling and the breakthroughs that ultimately led to his capture.
"Dark Journeys" is more than a true crime story; it's a profound exploration of the human psyche and the profound impact one individual can have on countless lives. It raises critical questions about the nature of evil, the vulnerabilities within society, and the complexities of justice.
