  JOE BIDEN 
  Joe Biden has been a well-known political figure for decades. When he won his first bid for the senate, at only age 29, he became the fifth-youngest senator in U.S. history. He went on to be re-elected six times, becoming the state’s longest-serving senator; he represented Delaware in the senate from 1972 until 2009. 
  He would then go on to serve as the Vice President alongside Barack Obama, before he himself was elected as the 46th President of the United States. 
  This book aims to serve as a biography-to-date of Joe Biden, detailing both his life and career up to this point in time. Inside this book, you will learn about Joe’s upbringing, his childhood, education, career, political beliefs, and more. Ultimately, the goal of this book is to provide an unbiased look at the POTUS, void of any political agenda so that the reader may better understand who the President is, and what the future of the United States might look like under his leadership.

  "In The Storm" is LeMoyne's personal account of the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in south Florida. The writer, with his wife, daughter, and sister-in-law, evacuated their apartment near downtown Miami and drove to a friend's concrete-block house about five miles inland. The worst of the storm struck just 10 miles farther south. In the end, Hurricane Andrew severely damaged 300 square miles, with about 100 square miles blasted or simply gone. Fifteen people were killed that night by the storm. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Storm: Stories of Survival From Land and Sea." 
   
  James Lemoyne is a writer and journalist. His work has appeared in many magazines, including The New Yorker. Foucheux’s acting career began in 1983. The Louisiana native hosted a local morning talk show before turning to writing and acting—he’d minored in theater at Nicholls State University—eventually winning a Helen Hayes Award for his performance in Edmond at Source Theatre.

Until one day, after he crept into her bedroom, her life became unbearable.

Emily determinedly gained a university place and emerged triumphant with a new life and family in Ireland, desperate to treat her daughter, so similar to her, to a different life.
