  Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight. This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. 
   
   
   
  In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks listeners through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. 
   
   
   
  A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

  An intimate and freewheeling portrait of John Madden through the NFL legend's own words 
  John Madden is synonymous with football. He was the television face and voice of the nation’s most popular 
  sport, the namesake of its best-selling sports video game, and the man with the highest career winning 
  percentage of any NFL coach. 
  Despite his international fame, there was a side of Madden known only to those who listened to morning radio 
  broadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. That’s where Madden grew up, lived, and died. It's where for decades 
  he found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station: a chance to unwind, tell stories, and impart his 
  own brand of wit and wisdom. 
  In Mornings With Madden, Stan Bunger—the man most often on the other side of the mic—illuminates this 
  larger-than-life figure, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts, backed up by 
  thousands of recordings of those conversations. Readers who adored Madden’s football acumen and quirky 
  personality on NFL broadcasts will get to know the father, husband, bad golfer, dog owner, lover of roadside 
  diners, and philosopher whose personality dominated our radio chats. 
  Featuring moving reflections alongside Madden's own words, this is a treasure trove of wry observations, 
  self-deprecating humor, clear-eyed thinking about sports and society, and the “Maddenisms” that endeared the 
  legendary coach to millions.

  Educated is a powerful memoir that chronicles one woman’s journey from a secluded and survivalist upbringing in rural Idaho to earning a PhD from Cambridge University. Born into a family that rejects mainstream society, government, and formal education, the author grew up without a birth certificate, medical care, or schooling. Through remarkable perseverance, she embarks on a transformative journey, teaching herself enough to gain entry into college, where her life—and her mind—begin to open.
   
  As she encounters a world filled with history, philosophy, and scientific thought, she is forced to confront her family's values and the psychological grip they hold on her. Through profound resilience and self-discovery, the author forges a path of her own, embracing education as a vehicle for personal empowerment. Her story is not only an exploration of family and identity but also a testament to the liberating power of knowledge.
   
  This audiobook is perfect for listeners drawn to narratives of inner strength, those who have battled self-doubt, or anyone who has faced the need to break free from limiting beliefs. With a dynamic, motivational tone, Educated speaks to the transformative potential within all of us—the power to shape our destiny and pursue a life defined by our own values.
