  From a life-sentence to a global inspiration, Six Dimes and a Nickel introduces the principles and stories that allowed Damon West to rewrite his narrative and become one of the greatest underdog triumphs of all time. 
    
  Damon West was a promising college athlete and Division 1 starting quarterback when a career-ending injury incited his struggle with drug abuse. Once he was introduced to methamphetamines, he became instantly hooked. The lives of many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made in order to feed his insatiable meth habit. By 2009, a Dallas jury had sentenced him to sixty-five years—a life sentence—for engaging in organized crime. Or, in prison slang, he got six dimes and a nickel. It was a RICO case, of which he was the ringleader. 
    
  Inside the suffocating walls of a Texas maximum-security prison, fighting for his life and sanity, he found grit, courage, and determination to make a change. After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery and a renewed sense of faith, Damon transformed so thoroughly that the parole board released him in 2015, placing him on parole until 2073. Since then, he’s become a highly sought-after speaker, bestselling author, husband, and stepfather, college professor, philanthropist, and an extremely successful entrepreneur. 
    
  If you want to not only make a change in your life, but discover how to maintain that change and become the best version of yourself, then you’ve come to the right place. The principles and stories in this book are the blueprint for how Damon rewrote his story and, if applied, how you can rewrite yours.

  A Wheelie Awkward Romance - The...

  Witty, wise, and wonderfully real—a love story that challenges expectations and celebrates possibility.   
   
  Tess wasn’t searching for love—and she definitely wasn’t looking for a man with a power chair and a penchant for dad jokes. But when Corby’s clever and correctly punctuated dating profile caught her attention, one message turned into two, then twenty, and suddenly, her carefully predictable world was tilted on its axis. 
   
  This story is more than a tale of love. It’s a wildly witty, refreshingly honest look at what happens when an intensely logical woman and a quadriplegic man collide online and discover something neither of them expected: a perfect match. It’s a candid, unfiltered glimpse into the beautiful mess of relationships—where doubts meet hope, where disabilities meet abilities, and where humor, patience, and persistence turn awkward encounters into extraordinary memories. 
   
  Tess’s sharp sense of humor and unflinching honesty paired with Corby’s trademark "wheelnote" footnotes make for a story as endearing as it is unpredictable. From evening wheelchair rides to scarf knitting galore, Tess and Corby’s story redefines what it means to find "the one" and reminds us all that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, being seen, and rolling with whatever comes next.

  We are miracles of evolution but deeply flawed. In our makeup, we suffer from the human condition; in our flesh, diabetes, back ache and a million other diseases. It goes right down to the cellular level, the disparity between harmonious Darwinian mechanics and plain rotten luck. And sometimes those very cells, in an effort to re-grow and multiply to keep us healthy and fit, rebel, for reasons unknown, and start to tear us apart. But the ravages don't have to destroy us totally, body and soul.  
  Emmelle is a young boy dealt the harshest of blows. Within the physical limits of his illness, he finds a strength of mind and purpose that no disease can ever conquer. Haunting, powerful and spiritually potent, Cancer - A State of Mind shows us the only path when our lives are changed forever.

  Elizabeth Cady Stanton - A...

  The definitive biography of American suffragist and women's rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton, from a preeminent historian of women's suffrage 
   
  "The life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton still has much to teach us. The invented prisons of race, sex, and class are still with us, but learning about successful past struggles against them can help to equalize the future." —Gloria Steinem 
   
  Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader, thinker, and organizer whose fight for women's emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902, a full fifth of America's history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography, eminent historian Ellen Carol DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible. 
   
  Born in 1815 into a family deeply marked by the tumult of the American Revolution and surging evangelicalism, Stanton was captivated by Enlightenment ideas about individual freedom and transformed by early experiences in what she called "the school of antislavery." Though most remembered for her fight for the vote, she was also an early crusader for women's reproductive autonomy and reforming the institution of marriage, and against Christianity's subordination of women. Her rifts with Black reformers and embrace of nativist ideas tarnished her reputation, but her words still have the ability to move and agitate people today. 
   
  Building upon exhaustive archival research and a deep engagement with Stanton's copious writings, Elizabeth Cady Stanton brilliantly captures a crucial reformer in all of her intelligence, moral ambiguity, and power. 
   
  This audiobook is expertly read by Marguerite Gavin, with audio engineering by Allie McSwain. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  A groundbreaking and thorough examination of the trauma caused by the media covering crimes, both to victims and journalists, from a respected journalist and victim advocate 
   
   
   
  In The Trauma Beat, an eye-opening combination of investigative journalism and memoir, former big-city crime reporter Tamara Cherry calls on her award-winning skills as a journalist to examine the impact of the media on trauma survivors and the impact of trauma on members of the media. As Tamara documents the experiences of those who were forced to suffer on the public stage, she is confronted by everything she got wrong on the crime beat. 
   
   
   
  Covering murders and traffic fatalities to sexual violence and mass violence, Cherry exposes a system set up to fail trauma survivors and journalists. Why do some families endure a swell of unwanted attention after the murder of a loved one, while others suffer from a lack of attention? What is it like to have a microphone shoved in your face seconds after escaping the latest mass shooting? What is the lasting impact on the reporter holding that microphone? The Trauma Beat explores these issues with the raw, reflective detail of a journalist moving from ignorance to understanding and shame to healing.
