"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

When he was just a boy, Ilyas was stolen from his parents on the coast of East Africa by German colonial troops. After years away, fighting against his own people, he returns home to find his parents gone and his sister, Afiya, abandoned into de facto slavery. Hamza, too, returns home from the war, scarred in body and soul and with nothing but the clothes on his back—until he meets the beautiful, undaunted Afiya.

Tom Wolfe's best-selling modern classic tells the story of Sherman McCoy, an elite Wall Street bond trader who has it all: wealth, power, prestige, a Park Avenue apartment, a beautiful wife, and an even more beautiful mistress - until one wrong turn sends Sherman spiraling downward into a humiliating fall from grace. A car accident in the Bronx involving Sherman, his girlfriend, and two young lower-class Black men sets a match to the incendiary racial and social tensions of 1980s New York City.

Compelling story of recovery
Revisado: 07-17-19
This audio book was read by the author.
She held my attention with her clarity, rhythm, inflection and literate accentuation.
It is a candid story of a son’s injury, recover and the gradual acceptance of disability.
It is an especially important story, which is told through a mother’s eyes, of the journey from intensive care to rehabilitation and the transition back to independence.
Although, her son made remarkable progress it was difficult, stressful, heartbreaking and incomplete.
The author struggled with her own feelings, biases, anger and frustration on how to best support her son without being too overprotective.
When a patient is unable to communicate effectively due to an injury or medical condition often a family member must step in.
But this involvement in the treatment process is difficult for both medical clinicians and family members.
The story provided useful insight for family engagement in treatment and recovery.
