Historia
The epic tale of Harry Clifton's life begins in 1920, with the words "I was told that my father was killed in the war." A dock worker in Bristol, Harry never knew his father, but he learns about life on the docks from his uncle, who expects Harry to join him at the shipyard once he's left school. But then an unexpected gift wins him a scholarship to an exclusive boys' school, and his life will never be the same again. As he enters into adulthood, Harry finally learns how his father really died, but the awful truth only leads him to question, was he even his father?

Historia
Attention all potty-mouthed, cheap-wine-drinking mothers: Prepare to meet your match. Any bad thought you’ve had about your kids, Nicole Knepper has had worse. Much worse. It’s not that she doesn’t love her kids. It’s that she understands what a mind-f*?% it can be to try to civilize those wild little beasts.

Historia
In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea - and to freedom.

Historia
Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....

America Needs Heroes
Revisado: 03-28-15
What did you love best about Unbroken?
The humility of this man who gave for his country.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Unbroken?
His return to Japan to visit the internment camp.
Have you listened to any of Edward Herrmann’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. I had to relisten to parts to "catch-up" on details when I listened again. I found it very enjoyable to re-listen to on a roadtrip to Buffalo, NY from Saint Robert, MO last Christmas.
Any additional comments?
In these dark times whereby millions of Americans (actual U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants) who aren’t willing to work, don’t serve in the military or in their communities, think that it is their “right” to be provided with “free” everything (housing, food, healthcare, childcare, mobile phones, etc.), and/or are born with the silver spoon in their mouths (not part of the generation that actually did the hard work to build the business that earned the wealth they enjoy) , part of the Hollywood elite who fail to “give back”, or just spoiled rotten’ children of lifelong hardworking parents who worked to provide their offspring with things to give them a better life than they had themselves … America needs Heroes. America needs to remember who and how this great country was founded and what it takes from a person to maintain the great freedom and lifestyle that we have the potential to enjoy.

Five Individual Desires

Men are not from Mars and women are not from Venus. Individuals have different personal preferences for showing their affection for someone and for receiving in kind. Communication, verbal and non-verbal, definitely a key component in recognizing how to complement a partner.

Characters and story line read easily. Build-up to high drama very engaging. Potential to be "real" issue for POWs and MIAs.
