Sinopse

Crossing the ocean for a new life 
I looked up and the American flags on the roof seemed miles and miles away in the blue, blue, sky. I looked along the street, and the building seemed to go on forever.
It's 1911 and young sisters Sally and Bridget are sailing to New York to find work – leaving behind their home and everything they know in Ireland. The city is so big and strange, but the sisters and their new friend Julia are determined to make the most of this exciting new world. They have each other, and if they work hard, New York is full of opportunities.
Then, when a false accusation threatens to destroy everything, the girls realise there's nothing more important than sticking together.

    As one of the most influential men of the 20th century, there is no shortage of adjectives to use when describing Woodrow Wilson’s two terms as president of the United States. Wilson was a pioneer of the Progressive movement both before and during his presidency, becoming a populist champion a generation before Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal.  
    Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by what was widely believed to be polio at the time. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address.  
    As president, Truman would lay the groundwork for the next 50 years of American foreign policy, as the architect of Cold War containment, the man who signed off on the Marshall Plan, and the commander-in-chief during much of the Korean War. He would also be the president who finally integrated the military, a crucial step on the way to full civil rights for the country’s minorities.  
    In many ways, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his young family were the perfect embodiment of the ‘60s. The decade began with a sense of idealism, personified by the attractive Kennedy, his beautiful and fashionable wife Jackie, and his young children.  
    Of all the politicians who have left their mark on American history, few have had a political career or list of accomplishments and accolades that can even come close to rivaling Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson is one of only 4 Americans to serve as a House Rep, U.S. Senator, Vice President and President, and he made the most out of each experience.

    Danny adores his old TV. It’s rusty, outdated, and beyond his control—but it has been his loyal companion for years. He’s spent countless hours immersed in its endless stream of entertainment, from lighthearted comedies to gripping documentaries. Yet, there’s one thing he can’t stand: the horror films. 
    They creep onto his screen when he least expects them, playing relentlessly during his moments of relaxation. He can’t change the channel. He can’t turn them off. All he can do is endure. As much as these films terrify him, Danny remains paralyzed by an even greater fear—the unknown. The idea of replacing his TV, of stepping outside his comfort zone, feels more terrifying than the nightmares playing before his eyes. 
    Why does he cling to what torments him? Can he ever break free from this eerie cycle, or will he remain a prisoner of his own fears? 
    A haunting and thought-provoking psychological short story, The TV That Owned Danny explores the human tendency to hold on to what is familiar, even when it brings us suffering. If you love suspenseful, mind-bending tales that make you question reality, this audio book is for you. 
    Are you ready to step into Danny’s world?
