Ideal those seeking a quick and insightful overview.

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.

The Man from Steamtown - The...

James R. Adair, Hannah Goodman

The throbbing sound of the steam-driven pistons and sight of the flashing drive-rods quickened the boy's pulse. He had heard and seen it all from his bedroom window, but now he had stepped-in person-into the wonderful world of steam. F. Nelson Blount's interest in steam engines began when he was only four. As he grew up, he studied and wrote about them, often traveling many miles to see one. Yet it was years before he was able to pursue his dream of becoming an engineer. With his keen head for business and unyielding perseverance, Nelson became a millionaire in the seafood industry before he was thirty. Over the years, he did stunt flying and deep-sea fishing. He collected old guns, vintage cars, and finally, a railroad with a "thundering herd" of steam locomotives to preserve the wonderful Steam Age. Thus Steamtown, USA, was born, and Nelson fulfilled his lifelong dream. But none of this brought him true happiness or peace. It took his wife's near-fatal automobile accident to make Nelson realize that money has its limits, and there are some things only God can do. This led to Nelson's dramatic conversion and a relationship with Jesus Christ that turned him into a dynamic witness who put hundreds on track for the Lord. Even though Nelson died five years later, he left a legacy that is still impacting people today. The Man from Steamtown tells his amazing story.

Author Bio: James R. Adair (1923-2009), who spent over fifty years in the Christian book publishing world, wrote The Man from Steamtown in 1967. It was widely read. He updated the book in 1988

All of This - A Memoir of Death...

Rebecca Woolf

“Beautifully written, complex, provocative, painful, genuine...an unforgettable memoir.”—ROXANE GAY 
“Wonderfully lyrical and uncomfortably honest in a way that is so rare, yet so needed.”—JENNY LAWSON 
“Disturbing and profound, this intimate book also reveals the sometimes-labyrinthine nature of the bonds that unite people in love...A provocative and memorable work.”—Kirkus Reviews 
After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died. 
In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months before her husband’s death—and her rebirth after he was gone. With rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end of her marriage: how her husband’s illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity and her own. 
Stunning, compelling, and brilliantly nuanced, All of This is one woman’s story of embracing the complexities of grief without shame—as a mother, a widow, and a sexual being—and emerging on the other side of a relationship with gratitude and relief.
