Haven’s Rock is a sanctuary town hidden deep in the Yukon for those who need to disappear from the regular world. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are starting a family now that they’ve settled into their life here. As Casey nears the end of her pregnancy, she lets nothing, including her worried husband, stop her from investigating what happens in the forbidden forest outside the town of Haven’s Rock. When one of the town's residents is drugged and wanders too close to the edge of town, she’s dragged into the woods kicking and screaming.

On February 17, 2022, Brittney Griner arrived in Moscow ready to spend the WNBA offseason playing for the Russian women’s basketball team where she had been the centerpiece of previous championship seasons. Instead, a security checkpoint became her gateway to hell when she was arrested for mistakenly carrying under one gram of medically prescribed hash oil. Brittney’s world was violently upended in a crisis she has never spoken in detail about publicly—until now.

Beyond the headlines. The heart wrenching retelling of BG's 10 months in Russian prisons. Don't assume you know her story, listen or read her own words. I was and am a fan of her basketball career. Now, having listened to her story, I am an even bigger fan of BG herself. Very Highly Recommend!!

This is the second missing person case in nine months—a university exchange student never made it back to her Carleton University residence from a downtown party in November.

I really like Brenda Chapman's books. I particularly like her character development of both the main characters, as well as the supporting characters. it's always a great day when a new Chapman book comes out! Definitely recommend!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 632
Twenty years ago, five teenage campers disappeared. Two eventually turned up, bound and left for dead on the Columbia River’s rocky shore. Only Devin Bonner miraculously survived, but with no memories of what happened in the Oregon forest. After decades, the cold case generates heat for FBI Special Agent Mercy Kilpatrick and her husband, Police Chief Truman Daly. They’re investigating the murder of a true-crime podcaster found at the river’s edge in the same location, and with the exact same manner of death.

Story5 out of 5 stars 335
Despite gold medals, WNBA championships, and a list of accolades, A’ja Wilson knows how it feels to be swept under the rug—to not be heard, to not feel seen, to not be taken seriously. As a fourth grader going to a primarily white school in South Carolina, A’ja was told she’d have to stay outside for a classmate’s birthday party. Wilson tells stories like this, about how even when life tried to hold her down, it didn’t stop her. She shares her contribution to “The Talk,” and how to keep fighting, all while igniting strength, passion, and joy.

Fantastic!
Reviewed: 02-06-24
Firstly, non-fiction audibooks should always be narrarated by the author if at all possible. I loved hearing A'ja's voice when hearing her stories.
Second of all, I love Women's basketball now, but have only been watching it for a year. I'm not a hard-core long time fan, but this book spoke to my heart.
Thirdly, I'm not a young black girl. I'm an (arguably) an older white woman. But I heard her words; I hope she helped me expand my compassion & desire to understand.
I highly recommend this book - for everyone!

Sending Dirk back to his father is complicated, but I have to do it. Even if it’s for a short time, I know that father and son need to talk about what’s changed between them. They need to talk about what the future holds for both of them. One year. That was how long we wanted to keep his new status as a werewolf as secret as possible, before we involved the family. That one year is up, and now, it’s time to face the music. Niko is only the start.

My religiosity trumps your free will choice

Informative with a little "tongue-in-cheek"
Reviewed: 06-22-23
Everything Rachel does is top-notch. However, her podcasts are something special. it's easy to be scared or angry about the alt-right trend in the US today. These episodes, well researched with interviews and primary sources, show that this crazy isn't new. If we are vigilant, if we are activists, we will come out on the other side. We need to fight to make it better, though. #NeverIsNow friends (as the ADL say) Let's get to work.

Out there is chaos, the collapse of society, and so much to be afraid of. All that matters is freedom. That’s what Remy Blake has been taught by his survivalist father. Raised off the grid in the middle of nowhere, his own survival skills not yet honed, Remy is days shy of his eighth birthday when his father unexpectedly dies. As seasons pass, supplies run out, and fending for himself grows more desperate, Remy sets out on foot, unprepared for the great unknown of civilization.

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the ...
