  Conflicted Scars - An Average...

  An indispensable guide to parents of hockey hopefuls
  		 
  At a time of great change in hockey, Justin Davis exposes the dark underbelly of the journey from the minors to the big leagues 
  		 
  Hockey culture: it’s a commonly used phrase inside the game, glorifying sacrifice, toughness, loyalty, and a sense of identity. Justin Davis viewed this culture as something he was lucky enough to experience. After all, he’d won a Memorial Cup after leading the tournament in scoring, and he’d been drafted by the Washington Capitals. “In my mind,” he says, “I was the normal one.” Unfortunately, after stepping outside the game, he began to recognize the racism, sexual abuse and bullying that was so deeply ingrained in the sport. And then, as his own children grew into teenagers, the curtain was pulled back, the memories came rushing forward, and he was horrified: “Why was I naked in a bus bathroom for four hours with seven teammates? What happened to my brain, and why can’t I remember the simplest things? How did I end up living in a basement where the strangers upstairs were clearly engaged in domestic abuse?”
  		 
  As it navigates the sport’s darkest corridors, Conflicted Scars shares the story of the common Canadian player and offers a guide for parents who need to know how and why a typical teenager with NHL dreams, from a small town, now lives anxiously, introvertedly, and battling emotional detachment.

  The Invisible Manual - How It...

  Anonymous Author

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  The Invisible Manual is a raw, intimate memoir about growing up autistic without knowing it — and the lifelong consequences of living in a world built for minds unlike your own. Told with honesty and precision, it reveals what autism in women truly looks like behind the mask: constant self-monitoring, sensory overwhelm, people-pleasing, and the crushing exhaustion of pretending to be “normal.” 
  From childhood to adulthood, the anonymous author shares decades of quiet struggle: missed signs dismissed as shyness, friendships that never made sense, invisible social rules, perfectionism that hid the truth, and the profound relief of finally seeing oneself in a late autism diagnosis. 
  This is not a clinical guide — it is the lived experience of high-masking autistic womanhood. A life spent compensating, questioning, and wondering why everything felt harder than it seemed for everyone else. 
  Listeners exploring female autism, late-diagnosed autism, high masking, or the lifelong feeling of being “different” will find this memoir deeply validating. It offers not instructions, but recognition — a mirror for anyone who has spent years searching for one.

  A nation in mourning. A city recovering. A unique moment in history when people came together to rebuild hope. 
  When an unimaginable crisis emerged, politically polarized Oregon found a common mission. Three weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks, airplanes were empty and the New York economy was tanking. So one thousand Freedom Fliers committed to taking sixty-two flights to NYC and infusing local businesses with revenue to show their unwavering support. 
  Arriving en masse to the grief-filled streets, Oregonians from diverse backgrounds and social statuses came to make a difference in their fellow Americans' lives. But beyond the much-needed economic boost, these unsung heroes discovered themselves providing something even more essential... their open hearts. 
  Sally Ruth Bourrie, freelance writer for the Chicago Tribune and The Boston Globe, witnessed firsthand this remarkable phenomenon sparked by the 2001 Flight for Freedom. 
  In a comprehensive and poignant account, she brings this extraordinary and largely unknown story vividly to life. In Oregon Loves New York, you'll discover: 
  - How everyday people can make a huge difference by being present for others in times of need 
  -Ways a divided community can put aside politics, ideologies, and disagreements to achieve amazing things together 
  - Almost 700 pages of tales of courage and humanity, including 200 full-color photographs, 100 personal interviews, 20 years of research, and archival news pieces now lost to history 
  - Heart-touching examples of the healing power of person-to-person contact and how we as a nation can honor each other 
  - Insight into a little-known event with a huge impact, positive messages of hope, and much, much more!

  Little Turtle’s War and...

  Editors Charles River

  The new United States was faced with a fundamental problem: to expand, it had to settle lands to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, ceded to it by the British. However, the mountains were occupied by Native American groups who had no desire to make way for white settlers. The treaty had created a vast frontier for the fledgling nation, and any American settlers pushing west along it were bound to encounter hostile natives. 
  For the most part, the conflicts that followed consisted mostly of the Native Americans suffering defeat in the face of a better-equipped adversary, interspersed with binding treaties, which, on the side of the federal government, proved not very binding at all. Occasionally, however, there arose a Native American leader of such ability that such defeats were temporarily reversed, and Little Turtle, the war chief of the Miami tribe, was one such man. Under his leadership, a confederation of Miami and other tribes inflicted the worst defeat ever suffered by an American army in the newly independent nation. Almost a quarter of the Army’s total strength was lost in a single battle, but while later Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse have become legends, Little Turtle is not as well-remembered. This is particularly odd, given that he actually defeated the American military and helped shape the development of the nascent United States and its military. 
  From the American Revolution up through the Battle of Tippecanoe, Native Americans in the Old Northwest (today’s Midwestern states) had been putting up stout resistance to that region’s settlement by white land speculators and settlers. Things came to a head when Tecumseh and his brother, the Prophet Tenskwatawa, spearheaded a movement in the region that greatly influenced the area’s Native Americans.
