Summary

Grover is a man of small routines, not big responsibilities. When his sister asks him to babysit her two kids, Alex and Jennifer, he reluctantly agrees. It’s just for one night after all. But nothing could have prepared him for what comes next.
 
In the wake of sudden tragedy, Grover finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the role of guardian. Convinced the children would be better off with their grandmother, he decides to take them on a cross-country road trip to ease them into the idea of their new life.
 
The roadside attractions aren’t the only big things they encounter on their journey. The trio meet larger-than-life new friends and find themselves embroiled in a media storm as their simple road trip quickly becomes something much bigger. Along the way Grover, Alex and Jennifer begin to confront their grief and fears, and they form an unconventional, yet powerful bond. As past wounds resurface, Grover must face the ghosts he’s long avoided and decide what kind of future he wants - and what kind of future he deserves.
 
Full of humour, pop culture and heart, BIG THINGS is a story of second chances and family, set against the stunning backdrop of Australia.

It was not love at first sight for Jinx and Cynthia. The long-haired, dandruff-ridden creature wasn’t Cynthia’s dream for a new family pet. And Jinx was equally unimpressed with her. 
Jinx’s arrival marked a dramatic turning point in Cynthia’s life. Soon after, she endured a devastating loss and battled grief, loneliness, and depression. Throughout the turmoil, Cynthia and Jinx progressed from sparring partners, to reluctant roommates, to friends. When Cynthia finally decided to take her life back, she brought Jinx along for the ride. 
Side by side, they weathered all the excitement, disappointment, mishaps, and adventures that come with finding happiness and redefining your life. Through it all, Jinx was an unexpected source of comfort, affection, and valuable life lessons. Because sometimes the thing you most need shows up in the way you least expect.

    Love is a fascinating aspect of human emotions that embalms withered souls with new hope and zest for life. Yet love manifests in myriad shades ranging from caring to conjugal, physical to psychological, empowering to escorting. Often love follows good humor, and together these two human instincts trigger the highest form of hedonistic pleasures in human minds. Still, sorrows and despair bring souls together to a new spring of togetherness at times to present a contrarian realization of human love and bonding. This seeming dichotomy illustrates the complexities of human motivation as a driving force in the human endeavor to live and let live.  
This treatise accounts for the second volume of such fascinating and confounding attributes over a roller-coaster ride of 16 audio stories that will enthrall your human senses in a journey of close to 8 hours uninterrupted. Tune in to this editor's collection and set out on a voyage of rediscovering your humane disposition.

Sophie has all but given up hope of finding her own fairytale ending. That is, until a mystery bouquet of roses shows up at the palace. The note says they're from Arlo Hammond. After years of pining for the man she thought was her everlasting love, Sophie finally released all thoughts of Arlo, only to have him show up again thirteen years later. Why? 
 
 
 
Will Arlo's explanation win Sophie's forgiveness? Will she give him another chance and find her own happy ending at last? Or will the heartache of the past be too much to forgive?
