  Troublemaker - A Memoir of...

  Lisa Cornwell never shied away from standing up to bullies. When she was a freshman in college, she saw a man hit a woman in the face with a closed fist while a paralyzed crowd stood by and watched. Seconds later, she took matters into her own hands—with a 3-iron from her golf bag. 
   
   
   
  This impulse crystallized years later when Cornwell publicly spoke out against the misogynistic culture she and others experienced at the hands of their employer, Golf Channel/NBCUniversal. Throughout her time at the network, she challenged the toxic environment and was quickly branded a "troublemaker"—a label that often accompanies women who refuse to play by an antiquated set of rules. 
   
   
   
  In this authentic and unreserved memoir, which includes a powerful foreword from Hillary Rodham Clinton, Cornwell takes listeners inside the boys' club of sports media and reveals the way powerful corporations cover up wrongdoings. For her, what began with retaliation exploded into a public smear campaign and, ultimately, her dismissal. She also shares the unlikely yet formative touchstones of her life: a close friendship with Tiger Woods when both were nationally ranked junior golfers; her cousin, Bill Clinton, being elected President of the United States; and the private demons she battled as a young adult that almost cost her everything. 
   
   
   
  Note: Listeners can access the foreword by Hillary Rodham Clinton in the bonus PDF accompanying this audiobook.

  In her New York Times bestsellers Going Rogue and America by Heart, Sarah Palin revealed the strong Christian faith that has guided her life and family. In Good Tidings and Great Joy she calls for bringing back the freedom to express the Christian values of the season. She asserts the importance of preserving Jesus Christ in Christmas—in public displays, school concerts, pageants, and our expressions to one another other—and laments the over-commercialization and homogenization of Christmas in today's society. 
  Interwoven throughout are personal memories and family traditions, as well as more than a dozen family photos, which illustrate the reasons why the celebration of Jesus Christ's nativity is the centerpiece of her faith. Palin believes it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like Christmas is marginalized and ignored. She also encourages readers to see what is possible when we unite in defense of our religious convictions and ignore the politically correct Scrooges seeking to take Christ out of Christmas. Good Tidings and Great Joy is a call to action to openly celebrate the joys of Christianity, and say Merry Christmas to one another.

  A stranded journalist records his descent into psychological horror within a frozen cabin where the past refuses to die.
   
  Elias arrives in the wilderness seeking a career-defining story, but the absolute isolation of the woods quickly turns his research into a fight for sanity. This claustrophobic thriller captures the chilling mood of being trapped by a blizzard, making it an intense listen for those brave enough to endure a stormy night alone.
   
  The discovery of a rusted lockbox shatters his composure. Inside are audio cassettes from 1994, documenting the final days of a stranger who occupied this exact space. As Elias plays the tapes, the specific terrors described—the metallic smells, the scuff of movement, the biting cold—begin to manifest around him, dissolving the boundary between history and immediate danger.
   
  What you will encounter in this immersive audio experience:
  
  Found Footage Structure: A narrative unfolding entirely through time-stamped recordings for real-time suspense.
  Unreliable Perception: The terrifying collapse of a rational mind facing extreme paranoia.
  Atmospheric Dread: A setting where the silence of the snow is as threatening as the noise in the walls.
  
   
  Rationality offers no protection against the dark. Hiding beneath the floorboards, the narrator whispers his final entry, leaving you to determine if the encroaching threat is a supernatural force or the product of a fractured psyche.

  From the Rez to the Runway -...

  Growing up on the Nipissing First Nation reserve in Northern Ontario, Christian Allaire wanted to work in the fashion industry, a future that seemed like a remote, and unlikely, dream 
  He was first introduced to style and design through his culture’s traditional Ojibwe powwow regalia—ribbon skirts, beaded belts, elaborate headdresses. But as a teenager, he became transfixed by the high-fashion designs and runway shows that he saw on Fashion Television and in the pages of Vogue. 
  His unwavering interest in fashion led him to complete a journalism degree so he could pursue his goal of becoming a full-time fashion writer. After landing his first big magazine job in New York City, Allaire found himself working at the epicentre of the international fashion industry. His dream had come true. Yet he soon realized the fashion world—and his place in it—wasn’t always quite as glamorous as he imagined it would be. 
  From grinding as an unpaid intern, to becoming a glitzy (but overworked) fashion editor, Allaire writes with feeling about the struggle to find his place—and community—in the highly exclusive world of fashion. And he recounts, with great candour, the difficulty of balancing his ambitions with the often-inaccurate perceptions—including his own—of his culture’s place in the realm of fashion. 
  Full of joy, honesty, adversity, and great clothes, From the Rez to the Runway is a gripping memoir about how to achieve your dreams—and elevate others—while always remaining true to yourself.
