  Andrée Griotteray was nineteen when the Germans invaded France and occupied Paris, where she worked as a clerk in the passport office. When her younger brother, Alain, created a resistance network named Orion, Andrée joined his efforts, secretly typing up and printing copies of an underground newspaper, and stealing ID cards which allowed scores of Jewish citizens to escape persecution. 
   
   
   
  Charming and pretty, Andrée nimbly avoided the unwanted attentions of German officers, even as she secretly began working as an undercover courier. Displaying fearlessness in the face of immense pressure, she traveled throughout the county delivering vital intelligence destined for France's allies—until the day she was betrayed and arrested. Throughout her ordeal, Andrée stayed composed, refusing to inform on her comrades. Before she was set free, she even duped her interrogators into revealing who had betrayed Orion, and continued her underground activities until France's liberation. 
   
   
   
  Weaving in diary entries, letters, and conversations, Andrée's daughter, Francelle, brings a uniquely personal slant to her mother's story. The Paris Girl reveals the narrow escapes and moments of terror, the daily acts of bravery and defiance, and the extraordinary courage displayed by Andrée and so many of her contemporaries, that helped turned the tide of war.

  Read by the author.  
  Discover the antidote to cynicism and despair in this dynamic, revelatory, hope-inducing exploration of the extraordinary work and extraordinary people who are transforming communities around the country--motivated by faith. 
  The mother of a man with autism manages a network of group homes through her local Greek Orthodox congregation. The director of an Islamic cultural center hosts a national interfaith conference to foster better relationships with the Jewish community. A student counselor starts a free immigration services program through her church. Sometimes we forget that good is not only happening in America, it is flourishing--in the fertile soil of our churches, synagogues, and mosques. 
  Few people are better poised to speak to the value of religious institutions in civic life than former Ohio governor and presidential candidate John Kasich, who is both a public servant and a man of faith. In Heaven Help Us, Kasich reminds us through gripping stories that faith communities are vital to healthy communities and our nation. Heaven Help Us offers:Unforgettable stories of people making an extraordinary difference because of their faith communitiesInsights into what sets faith institutions that transform their neighborhoods apart from those that don'tPractical ideas for making positive changes in our own communitiesHope to dream about what is possible in our country instead of what is impossibleEncouragement that religion can bring us together rather than break us apart 
    
  As Kasich shows us, faith institutions can magnify the power of an individual in ways that almost always exceed the expectations of the person who jump-started the initiative in the first place. More than a collection of "feel-good" stories, Heaven Help Us reminds us of the resourcefulness and ingenuity of our fellow congregants and religious leaders that make it possible to turn our good intentions into even better outcomes. Good is happening in our country. Join in.

  Indulge the Desire You Don’t Talk About. 
   
  There are fantasies you admit to. 
   
  And then there are the ones that live in silence — 
  quiet… persistent… impossible to ignore. 
   
  Hot Erotic Short Stories – 2 in 1 is an invitation into that hidden world. A world where restraint makes everything hotter. Where anticipation is foreplay. Where power shifts with a whisper instead of a command. 
   
  This is not cheap thrill erotica. 
  This is atmosphere. 
  This is tension. 
  This is control — slowly, deliberately slipping. 
   
  Inside this collection, you’ll experience four carefully crafted journeys that explore: 
   
  • The electric pull of the forbidden 
  • The intoxicating elegance of dominance and surrender 
  • Taboo fantasies charged with emotional tension 
  • The slow, mindful intensity of tantric seduction 
   
  Each story is layered with chemistry that builds — not explodes. The pleasure simmers beneath every word, rising through glances held too long, boundaries tested softly, and desires that refuse to stay buried. 
   
  You won’t be rushed. 
  You’ll be drawn in. 
   
  Because true seduction is psychological before it is physical. 
   
  This audiobook is designed for listeners who crave more than heat — who crave depth, power, vulnerability, and the exquisite tension between wanting and having. 
   
  It celebrates passion as something intentional. Something immersive. Something that unfolds with precision. 
   
  If you’re ready to explore: 
   
  The thrill of crossing lines you once swore you wouldn’t. 
  The elegance of surrendering control — or taking it. 
  The intimacy of slowing everything down. 
  The quiet intensity of hidden cravings coming alive. 
   
  Then step inside. 
   
  Close the door. 
  Turn the volume up just enough. 
  Let the world fade. 
   
  And allow yourself to experience desire the way it was meant to be felt — 
  unapologetic, deliberate, and unforgettable. 
   
  Because once you press play… 
   
  You won’t want to stop.

  A gripping new history of London during the Blackout—revealing the violent crime that spread across the capital under the cover of darkness 
   
   
   
  Fear was the unacknowledged specter haunting the streets of London during the Second World War; fear not only of death from the German bombers circling above, but of violence at the hands of fellow Londoners in the streets below. Mass displacement, the anonymity of shelters, and the bomb-scarred landscape offered unprecedented opportunities for violent crime. 
   
   
   
  In this absorbing, sometimes shocking account, Amy Helen Bell uncovers the hidden stories of murder and violence that were rife in wartime London. Bell moves through the city, examining the crimes in their various locations, from domestic violence in the home to robberies in the blacked-out streets and fights in pubs and clubs. She reveals the experiences of women, children, and the elderly, and focuses on the lives of the victims, as well as their deaths. 
   
   
   
  This groundbreaking study transforms our understanding of the ways in which war made people vulnerable—not just to the enemy, but to each other.
