Story5 out of 5 stars 837
Recruited into the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement as a young wife, Tia Levings learned that being a good Christian meant following a list of additional life principles—a series of secret, special rules to obey. Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, “keepers of the home.” A Well-Trained Wife is an unforgettable memoir about a woman's race to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.

I was afraid to listen to this book, because the story seems similar to mine. I usually don’t do that to myself, but this was an invaluable book and a wonderful story to listen to. Thank you so much for writing it.

I am old enough to remember that government employees (DoD for me) are not allowed political opinions. I have been so torn up by January 6th and Trump that it was a huge relief to listen to your book. Thanks for all you do!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,201
Jenna’s parents had finally given in, and there she was, at a New York club with her best friends, watching the legendary band Avenue A, carrying her demo in hopes of slipping it to the guitarist, Jake Kincade. Then, from the stage, Jake catches her eye, and smiles. It’s the best night of her life. It’s the last night of her life. Minutes later, Jake’s in the alley getting some fresh air, and the girl from the dance floor comes stumbling out, sick and confused and deathly pale. He tries to help, but it’s no use. He doesn’t know that someone in the crowd has jabbed her with a needle.

I have been listening to this every couple of weeks since it came out. I get angry every time. My favorite is Chairman Benny Thompson, although I admire everyone on the panel and most of the witnesses. My favorite part was Chairman Thompson’s southern accent saying donaltrump. He is never rude but it just seems like donaltrump is a joke. Thank you all for your service!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,655
Carol Leonnig has been reporting on the Secret Service for The Washington Post for most of the last decade, bringing to light the secrets, scandals, and shortcomings that plague the agency today - from a toxic work culture to dangerously outdated equipment to the deep resentment within the ranks at key agency leaders, who put protecting the agency’s once-hallowed image before fixing its flaws. But the Secret Service wasn’t always so troubled.

Excellent book, horrible story. I enjoyed the access to this info but can’t help worrying that this “good ole boy” network will not die easily. I started my career at DoD many years ago and I would have argued that a government job would not be allowed to become what this has.

Nobody is in a better position to tell the story of the shocking final chapter of the Trump show than Jonathan Karl. As the reporter who has known Donald Trump longer than any other White House correspondent, Karl told the story of Trump’s rise in the New York Times best seller Front Row at the Trump Show. Now he tells the story of Trump’s downfall, complete with riveting behind-the-scenes accounts of some of the darkest days in the history of the American presidency.

Amazing

I trust Jonathan Karl so I enjoyed this story from him POV. I remain amazed that such a human made it to where he (Mr Trump) has. During the Pandemic I found myself yelling at the tv. Somehow, when I listen to Mr Karl read the book, I hear a little bit of that attitude in his voice. Love the book, author is great!
