About this listen
Eine neue Zeit, eine große Liebe und eine mutige Frau, die ihren Weg geht. Um ihre Familie zu retten, folgt Elise von Achenthal ihrer Pflicht und heiratet den Londoner Fabrikantensohn Fletcher Cunningham. Die Hochzeitsreise führt sie über den Atlantik zu Plantagen im Süden der USA, wo Elise die Schrecken der Sklaverei aus erster Hand miterlebt. Doch Fletcher sieht in der Ausbeutung von Sklaven und Arbeitern nur seinen Vorteil. Und damit nicht genug: Um die schwangere Elise zu „schonen“, kauft er sich eine junge Sklavin und nimmt sie zu seinem Vergnügen mit nach England. Um seine Frau kümmert er sich kaum noch. Eine unerträgliche Situation für die gradlinige Elise, die sich umso mehr nach ihrer großen Liebe Konrad von Radenau und ihrer Heimat Schlesien sehnt...

Story
Bereits Augenblicke nachdem Lisbeth geboren ist, wird sie ihrer Mutter weggenommen und Mattie übergeben, einer jungen Sklavin, die man von ihrem eigenen Kind getrennt hat, damit sie dem Baby als Amme dienen kann. So beginnt eine intensive Beziehung, die das Leben der beiden Frauen auf Jahrzehnte hinaus prägen wird. Obwohl Lisbeth ein privilegiertes Leben führt, findet sie bei ihrer überforderten Mutter und ihrem distanzierten Vater, der Sklaven hält, nichts als Einsamkeit.

Und dann macht sie eine Entdeckung, die ihre Familie bis in die Grundfesten erschüttert.

It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
