In June, 1953, after my freshman year at Stapleton College, a twenty-minute drive was all it took to go from there to Roanoke, Virginia and a summer job with Piedmont Investigations. Looking back, it’s hard to believe what all happened in those twelve short weeks away. And I didn’t have to wait long for it to start. I mean, in the first hour of walking in the door I was smack in the middle of a blackmail investigation. High-octane stuff, and more to follow.

In 1967, on the night of the first Apollo mission, a child named Izzy is orphaned when the doomsday cult she was born into clashes with the sheriff in the high desert of New Mexico. She’s taken in by a struggling rancher who is trying to keep his mind from falling apart as NASA rocket tests encroach on his outer range. Inspired by the true story of a UFO cult in a village near White Sands, this audiobook traces Izzy Gently’s whole life.

Rosa sa di avere un vuoto nella memoria, un lungo intervallo di tempo che segna con una riga netta la fine della sua adolescenza: la ragazzina vitale, inquieta, fantasiosa è diventata una giovane diligente e fin troppo responsabile. Quei mesi – persi, cancellati – sono gli stessi in cui i genitori, spaventati dalla sua esuberanza e dai cattivi risultati a scuola, l'avevano ricoverata in una clinica del sonno, come usava negli anni settanta. Ora che Rosa è una donna matura, dopo anni trascorsi all'estero in missioni umanitarie, rientra in Italia.

The story blends a bit of imagination with the true story about six-year-old Paddy and his life in New York City, to rural Kilkenny County in Ireland, in the 1960s, and back again to New York, and how he learned that Banshees are real while also managing to navigate and survive a broken home and a variety of other early-life challenges. The boy’s name may not really be Paddy, but to tell this story, a hint of Irishness and anonymity may be necessary.

Fourteen-year-old Azariah Hancock must flee his home in Montgomery County, MD after avenging the rape of his sister by the son of the local sheriff. The Hancock family is hated by many in the county for being fair to their slaves, so Azariah and his family knew he would not receive a fair trial. He heads to St. Louis, where he meets mountain man Liam O'Reilly, who takes the youth under his wing, teaching him the trapping trade. Azariah finds friendship, love, and a new family, having adventures all along the way.

'You walk and the harvest moon casts the clearest of shadows. You are nervous. With a moon like that, it is not a night for escaping. It is a night made better for hunting runaway girls.'

Fleeing her home to escape an arranged marriage, she attempts to vanish into a crowd of pilgrims – not knowing that violence is circling, and that it already has its eyes on her.

In a village where fate is dictated by an unseen force called The Hum, 17-year-old Verus questions everything. While others eagerly await their life path through a sacred ritual known as The Quieting, Verus is haunted by grief, isolation, and an inner voice that refuses to be silenced.

Isabel Spencer's painting may be one she comes to regret forever. But, it leads to something unexpectedly magical. And dangerous. She was a normal teenage girl, just trying to make enough money to help her dad, and keep her home. Her mom was gone, she had no friends. And, she was failing high school. It couldn't get any worse. Until she decided to paint. And after painting, she made something that was more alarming than trying to hold all of her feelings inside. It was as if the painting was following her, haunting her, every second. But getting away from it isn't an option anymore.
