  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Her friends in Illinois think Colleen Gallagher has it all together: meaningful work, a loving family, and a knack for solving problems. However, caring for aged parents has left her little time to nurture a relationship with her emotionally distant daughter. 
  The birth of a second grandchild gives Colleen an excuse to pack her bags and relocate to Washington DC. But when her son-in-law falls ill, this kindergarten teacher and delighted grandma must change her focus from the little ones to the grownups. 
  The young couple clings to the hope that they can make the most of their remaining time together — romantic getaways and date nights out. The more Colleen tries to penetrate the fog of denial, the more her daughter pushes away — outbursts of anger followed by withering silence. 
  As Colleen juggles the multiple roles of grandma, cook, and caregiver, she discovers that even her superhuman efforts and a special “last” Christmas in Vermont can’t fix what’s wrong. Maybe nothing can. Should she save her family or save herself? 
  If you enjoy flawed yet heroic characters and a powerful mix of tragedy and humor, then you won't want to miss Montpelier Tomorrow. This beautifully written, literary novel is a testament to the power of a mother's love and the resilience of the human spirit. Buy Montpelier Tomorrow today.

  Hindsight - In Search of Lost...

  'Essential reading for lovers of the Great outdoors' – Roger Cox, Scotsman Magazine
  Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize
  In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution.
  This exploration leads her into the complex and often conflict-ridden world of the rewilding movement. She meets the 'Wolf Man' of the Highlands, who wants to introduce the first wild wolves back into Scotland for over 300 years; a mountain ecologist who ranges alone across the landscape to track the environmental impact of deer on Scotland's upland ecosystem; landowners who are reintroducing species like beaver onto their estates; and a female deer stalker, who is trying to introduce more women into the male-dominated world of stalking and game-keeping.
  In the process, Jenna comes to better understand the meaning of 'wildness', the shifting baselines of 'rewilding', and, in a world beset by climate change and species extinction, how to cope, both as an individual and as a society, with the concept of ecological grief.

  This delightful audiobook narrated by Russell Bentley offers a savory account of how the pursuit of delicious foods shaped human evolution
  
  Nature, it has been said, invites us to eat by appetite and rewards by flavor. But what exactly are flavors? Why are some so pleasing while others are not? Delicious is a supremely entertaining foray into the heart of such questions.
  
  With generous helpings of warmth and wit, Rob Dunn and Monica Sanchez offer bold new perspectives on why food is enjoyable and how the pursuit of delicious flavors has guided the course of human history. They consider the role that flavor may have played in the invention of the first tools, the extinction of giant mammals, the evolution of the world's most delicious and fatty fruits, the creation of beer, and our own sociality. Along the way, you will learn about the taste receptors you didn't even know you had, the best way to ferment a mastodon, the relationship between Paleolithic art and cheese, and much more.
  
  Blending irresistible storytelling with the latest science, Delicious is a deep history of flavor that will transform the way you think about human evolution and the gustatory pleasures of the foods we eat.

  For families walking through the final chapter of a loved one’s life, nothing truly prepares you for the emotional weight of hospice care. In Helping Mom Pass On with Dignity: My Hospice Journey and Lessons Learned, one son shares the deeply personal story of caring for his mother during her final months, and the life-changing lessons learned along the way. 
   
  This is not a medical textbook. It is a real and honest journey filled with love, fear, exhaustion, family struggles, hope, regret, and moments of unexpected peace. Written in a simple and heartfelt style, this audiobook speaks directly to caregivers, adult children, spouses, veterans, hospice workers, and anyone facing the painful reality of saying goodbye to someone they love. 
   
  You will walk beside a son who moved in with his mother years before her passing and honored her wish to remain at home with dignity during hospice care. Along the way, he shares powerful lessons about family conflict, caregiving stress, setting boundaries, asking for help, handling medications, dealing with guilt, and learning how to let go with love instead of fear. 
   
  You will hear about the “Angel in the Room,” the hospice nurse who brought comfort and sanity during the darkest moments. You will experience the sleepless nights, the hard questions no child ever expects to hear from a parent, and the emotional roller coaster of watching someone slowly prepare to leave this world. 
   
  Most importantly, this audiobook reminds listeners that they are not alone. Many caregivers silently carry feelings of doubt, grief, frustration, and regret. This story offers comfort, understanding, and reassurance that doing your best with love truly matters. 
   
  Whether you are preparing for hospice care, currently living through it, or trying to heal after losing someone close to you, this audiobook may help you feel seen, understood, and supported. 
   
  Sometimes the greatest act of love is simply being there.

  Blending cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, award-winning data journalist and competitive amateur athlete Henry Abbott reveals that we are on the cusp of a new era in sports medicine, built around the science of ballistic movements—leaping and landing—and the unique fingerprint of your body's physics. 
   
   
   
  Abbott's inspiring narrative tells the story of sports scientist Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project (P3), who use technology to study how athletes move and why they get hurt. Applying machine learning and lessons from biomechanics, medicine, and physiology, doctors at P3 can now detect elevated risk of an ACL tear or a pulled hamstring like an echocardiogram can see warning signs of a heart attack. 
   
   
   
  Through riveting stories of elite athletes overcoming injuries and pushing themselves to the limit, Abbott presents an evidence-based case for intervening early to protect our bodies. And he suggests that we can all harness the science of ballistic movement not just to run fast or jump high but to move with joy and lead fulfilling athletic lives.
