  ***WINNER! 2024 SOVAS Award for Outstanding Audiobook Narration, Faith-Based!*** When a wagon train of Black pioneers rescues the seven orphaned Dalton cousins from the side of the trail, it seems like an answer to their prayers. As they roll west toward Kansas, fourteen-year-old Levi Dalton is dazzled by the beautiful Mrs. Mallone. She's a healer, and her knowledge of medicines and herbs inspires Levi to want to become a doctor. Maybe then he can stop people from dying of fevers and illnesses like his folks did.  But Mrs. Mallone's stepdaughter, Hopeful, warns Levi not to become too attached to the healer. Levi dismisses her warnings and his own misgivings until the day he sees something dreadful. Levi knows he needs to tell someone what he’s seen before it’s too late. But will anyone believe the story of a fourteen-year-old orphan? Will anyone stand up to evil, no matter how beautifully it’s packaged?

  The Odyssey

  Homer, Daniel Mendelsohn

  A landmark new translation of Homer’s most popular epic by distinguished author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn. 
    
  In 1961, the University of Chicago Press published Richmond Lattimore’s translation of Homer’s The Iliad. For more than sixty years, it has served to introduce readers to the ancient Greek world of gods and heroes and has been one of the most popular and respected versions of the work. Yet through all those decades, Chicago never published a companion translation of the best-known epic in the Western canon, The Odyssey—until now. 
    
  With his new Odyssey, celebrated author, critic, classicist, and translator Daniel Mendelsohn has created a rendering worthy of Chicago’s unparalleled reputation in classical literature. Widely known for his essays bringing classical literature and culture to mainstream audiences in the New Yorker and many other publications, Mendelsohn eschews the streamlining and modernizing approach of many recent translations, focusing instead on the epic’s formal qualities—meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance—in order to bring it to life in all its archaic grandeur. In this line-for-line rendering, the long, six-beat line he uses, closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each Greek line without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. 
    
  The result is a magnificent feat of translation, one that conveys the poetics of the original while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight, and powerful themes that make Homer’s work continue to resonate today. Supported by an extensive introduction, notes, and commentary, Mendelsohn’s Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent and enduringly influential masterpiece.

  What Survives - What New Science...

  A provocative, groundbreaking exploration of humanity's deepest question: what happens after we die?If you've ever stood beside someone who just died—a parent, a friend, a pet—you know: that being isn't there anymore. The body becomes an abandoned shell, there in form yet hollow of what gave it meaning. What happened when they died?When Dr. Robert Lanza's sister died he did what any scientist would do: he looked for answers. In What Survives, he explores what new science—from biology to physics—is beginning to reveal about death and what survives it.Your brain runs on roughly 20 watts of power—a firefly's glow sustaining everything you are: every memory, every love, every flash of awareness. For a century, science insisted that when your heart stops, the light goes out. There is no soul. Death is the end.Now, for the first time in human history, we have evidence suggesting otherwise—arriving from experiments that won the 2025 and 2022 Nobel Prizes, and from new discoveries about observers and the nature of reality itself. The death we fear—oblivion, lights out, the end—may be an illusion born of biological limitation, not physical law.Lanza builds this case through a remarkable life in science—from a gambler's son to working alongside B.F. Skinner, Jonas Salk, and Nobel laureates. Through the losses that have shaped his life—from his mentors to his dog Max—he shows why your consciousness persists, why your pets survive, and why it may be the deepest truth science has ever uncovered.For anyone who has lost someone they loved—or feared their own mortality—What Survives offers hope grounded in science, not just faith.
