A Clown for Orphans & Other Short Stories gathers seven quiet, redemptive tales—ordinary lives brushed by the surprising nearness of God. These aren’t stories that shout. They move at the pace of real life: steady, unhurried, carrying both wounds and hope. There’s a clown who gives more than he thought he had for the sake of another’s healing. A teenage girl with a jar of coins whose small act sets something sacred in motion. A hard man who learns mercy is not weakness, but the only way left open to him. I write with honesty and faith, where questions are welcome and grace shows itself in unexpected ways. This audiobook is narrated by Patrick Oliver Griswold, with additional character voices provided by professional actors.Voir livre
Mark Twain’s "The Jumping Frog", also know as The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of America’s most beloved humorous short stories—a tale brimming with wit, mischief, and the charm of small-town life. When a visiting stranger hears the outlandish story of a gambler and his extraordinary frog, “Dan’l Webster,” he’s drawn into a web of good-natured trickery and tall-tale tradition. Twain’s keen ear for dialect and his playful satire of human gullibility make this story a timeless piece of frontier folklore. Narrated with warmth and personality by Mike Polischuk, this classic captures the lively spirit of 19th-century America and the storytelling genius that made Mark Twain a national treasure.Voir livre

Should you be jealous? From the woman pursued by a band of bagpipers in full regalia to the artist who’s built a seven-foot boat out of secondhand copies of The Great Gatsby, Smith’s characters are offbeat, charming, sexy, and as wonderfully complex as life itself. “She’s street-savvy and poignant at once. … There’s a kind of stainless steel clarity at the center of her fiction.”—Boston GlobeVoir livre
