  Home Is the Road - Wandering the...

  From the award-winning Native American literary writer Diane Glancy comes a book about travel, belonging, and home. Travel is not merely a means to bring us from one location to another. "My sense of place is in the moving," Glancy writes. For her the road is home—its own satisfying destination. But the road also makes demands on us: asking us to be willing to explore the incomprehensible parts of the landscapes we inhabit and pass through—as well as to, ultimately, let them blur as they go by. This, Glancy says, is home. 
   
   
   
  Glancy teases out the lessons of the road that are never easy to define, grappling with her own: childhood's puzzle pieces of her Cherokee heritage and a fraught but still compelling vision of Christianity. As she clocks an inordinate amount of driving, as she experiments with literary forms, she looks to what the land has held for centuries, before the roads were ever there. 
   
   
   
  This, ultimately, is a book about land, tradition, religion, questions, and the puzzle pieces none of us can put together quite right. It's a book about peripheral vision, conflicting narratives, and a longing for travel.

  "Discovery of Less is the true story about one mans poignant and humorous journey of stepping out of the comfort zone of everyday life and letting go. Through his insightful and refreshing storytelling, Chris Lovett shares details of how he found enriching outcomes of a simpler approach to life and work after decluttering, selling off everything he owned and walking away from the security of a stable career. Although the material deals with important issues such as clutter, emotional attachment, stress, sentimental attachment, debt, career change, imposter syndrome and the like, there is always room for fun and Chris brings colour, flavour and reality through his storytelling and just adds a little bit of dirt to the clean minimalist aesthetic. This book is your companion to stepping out of the lost year, providing inspiration and motivation to ditch all that stuff that holds us back to be better and do better, with less."

  Mort Sahl has been described as one of the greatest political and social satirists of the 20th century. In Mort Sahl's America, the sophisticated political satirist exposes the grand follies of the powers that be. Deflating celebrity pretensions, he skewers liberals and conservatives alike. From Bill Clinton to Bob Dole, from Al Gore to Jesse Jackson, no one is spared. He talks of his frustrated relationships with liberated women and shares his thoughts on gay marriage and Catholic priests. As an added bonus, Sahl shares the stage with Senator Eugene McCarthy, whose bid for the 1968 US presidency ran on a platform which opposed the Vietnam War. McCarthy offers wry reflections on Lyndon Johnson's eccentric behavior and shrewd commentary on Robert McNamara.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Sweet Pea, the youngest mouse in her family of five, faces the biggest challenge of her life. Her father, Babbo, has unexpectedly disappeared at the worst time, just as they are starting crucial chores to stock their storage bins for the winter. She must break through her family's grief. She must overcome her mother's attempts to confine her to their garden. She must venture into an unknown world on her own. And, with no clues, she must try to find and rescue her dad, if he remains alive. After one battle after another against multiple predators, Sweet Pea joins forces with a young mouse named Willow who has escaped from his own captivity. With their survival at stake, she teaches Willow how she has learned to fly with her home-made cape; and together, they utilize that skill, along with their fast banter and quick thinking, to uncover her father’s mysterious past and the possible site of his unexpected capture. In this first book of a series, Sweet Pea must do much more than simply rescue her dad. She must establish a partnership with Willow, track down the renowned Champagne Legend, and confront an unexpected adversary. With these life-threatening journeys, she must start the training to prepare herself for a world beyond her comprehension and a future unlike anything she could have possibly imagined.
