    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Still burning in silence. 
    “Jorge Madera, a disabled author living with ataxia and aphasia, delivers this symbolic and poetic audiobook through a digital voice named Zadkiel Adam — a narrator born from necessity, memory, and mercy.” 
    This is not a medical guide. 
    It is a cry from the ashes. 
    A written flame dictated slowly, painfully, and without apology. 
    The Quasimodo Effect: Still Burning in Silence is a soul-fire testimony from someone who woke up in a different body — and refused to disappear. These pages carry scars, dignity, and divine defiance. You will find moments of grief, spiritual stillness, and fierce love for a life misjudged but still burning. 
    From hospital silence to poetic defiance, Jorge invites you to witness what it means to be disabled and still divine. Still worthy. Still burning. 
    If your body has changed... 
    If your voice trembles... 
    If your truth has ever been erased... 
    Then this book was written for you. 
    From the wheelchair. 
    From the silence. 
    From the soul.

    In 1922, three of the Irish Republican Army's top gunmen arrived in New York City seeking ven­geance. Their target: "Cruxy" O'Connor, a young Irishman who kept switching sides as revolution swept his country in the wake of World War I. Cruxy's last betrayal dealt a blow to Ireland's struggle for independence: six of his IRA comrades were killed when he told police the location of their safe house. A year later, the IRA gunned him down before a crowd of horrified New Yorkers. 
     
     
     
    Based primarily on first-hand accounts, most of them never before published, Ambush at Central Park is a cinematic exploration of the enigma of "Cruxy" O'Connor. 
     
     
     
    Author Mark Bulik delved through Irish government archives, newspaper accounts, census data, and unpublished material from the families of the main actors. Together they add to the story of a rebel ambush, a deadly police raid, a dinner laced with poison, a daring prison break, a boatload of tommy guns, an unlikely pair of spies who fall in love, and an assassination plot against the British cabinet. 
     
     
     
    Here is a forgotten chapter of Irish and New York history: the story of the only officially authorized IRA attack on American soil. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    From the Sidelines to the Finish...

    Emily Falcon

    In this inspiring memoir, Emily Falcon chronicles her lifelong journey with a congenital cardiac condition. In 1982, at seven weeks old, she had a heart attack that destroyed forty percent of the left side of her heart. This was her entry into a world of multiple cardiac procedures, surgeries, and hospitalizations, and a later diagnosis of glaucoma. Balancing these serious conditions defined her life. 
    Falcon's memoir is a story of survival and how her physical situation shaped and limited her. She intends this story to be a helpful resource to families, caregivers, and physicians who want to gain insight into a patient's point of view. 
    In 2017, after a lifetime of feeling that nothing could ever change, Falcon had a second open-heart surgery, which allowed her to participate in a 5K race a mere eight months later. She was no longer stuck on the sidelines. Drawing from her extensive life experiences, Falcon recounts how she found a way to surmount obstacles that people who live with incurable medical conditions and their supporters might face. In the book, Falcon describes how she has remained courageous and pragmatic in her mission to stay alive. She encourages her readers to advocate for themselves, believe in their abilities, never be afraid to test their boundaries, and feel motivated to make changes in their lives.
