The year is 1739. Eliza Lucas is sixteen years old when her father leaves her in charge of their family’s three plantations in rural South Carolina and then proceeds to bleed the estates dry in pursuit of his military ambitions. Tensions with the British, and with the Spanish in Florida, just a short way down the coast, are rising, and slaves are starting to become restless. Her mother wants nothing more than for their South Carolina endeavor to fail so they can go back to England. Soon her family is in danger of losing everything.

- The Indigo Girl
- A Novel
- De: Natasha Boyd
- Narrado por: Saskia Maarleveld
Historical but based in fact.
Revisado: 09-16-24
A beautifully wove tale about a 16 year old girl who runs her father's plantation and experiments with raising indigo to help keep the plantation afloat. Based on the work of an actual girl in the 1700's who did it. The author embellishes a bit, but it's a great read about history, life, passion and love. Highly recommended.

A book about heaven... "a good thing that came"
- De Nathan en 10-25-11
- Jayber Crow
- De: Wendell Berry
- Narrado por: Paul Michael
This was an incredibly amazing book.
Revisado: 09-16-24
I highly recommend this book. Think the exact opposite of Cormick McCarthy whose books focus on all that is devilish and evil in human natutre. Then think about the possibility that someone wrote the opposite; about what is good strong and heavenly about human nature. This is the book and this is the author. Wendell Berry's writing is like poetry. One of the best writers and the best reader I've heard in a long, long time. I wonder if this book would have been as powerful to me without this exceptional reader. I don't think it would have been. You will think differently after reading this book.

Hard times come for all in life, with no real explanation. When we walk through suffering, it has the potential to devastate and destroy, or to be the gateway to gratitude and joy. Elisabeth Elliot was no stranger to suffering. Her first husband, Jim, was murdered by the Waoroni people in Ecuador moments after he arrived in hopes of sharing the gospel. Her second husband was lost to cancer. Yet, it was in her deepest suffering that she learned the deepest lessons about God.

When Aurelie Harcourt's father dies in debtor's prison, he leaves her just two things: his wealthy family, whom she has never met, and his famous pen name, Nathaniel Droll. Her new family greets her with apathy and even resentment. Only the quiet houseguest, Silas Rotherham, welcomes her company. When Aurelie decides to complete her father's unfinished serial novel, she must keep her identity as Nathaniel Droll hidden while searching for the truth about her mother's disappearance - and perhaps even her father's death.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Sir John Penlyon is planning to spend Christmas at his estate with his niece and his friend Danby, the closest thing he has to family since disowning his daughter years ago. (She eloped with the parson, who was, of course, penniless.) Danby suggests that at Christmastime the estate needs the presence of small children, and offers to find some - the “hirelings” - despite Sir John’s skepticism. Three children duly arrive, and the youngest, precocious four year-old Moppet, quickly endears herself to Sir John.

This series of articles is HORRIBLE.
Revisado: 06-05-20
Audible, please LISTEN to this recording. This is absolutely the worst "book" I have listened to on Audible.
I cannot believe Audible would sell this "book". It sounds like it was recorded by a robot - I'm not joking nor exaggerating - and the content was adapted terribly from another language. I run an ad agency and thought I could learn something new from this book, so I understand Google AdWords. There is NOTHING in here about YouTube and certainly no strategy.
There is no order to the content. It seems to be a series of blogs or articles. Sections repeat throughout the book. For instance it repeatedly tells you what SEO stands for and what it does.
I believe all of the reviews are faked. No one in their right mind would give this book a five star rating. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS RECORDING.

Based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

Interesting.
Revisado: 05-04-20
I've always admired Steve Jobs, but after reading this story, I don't admire him nearly as much. While this was a well written story about his life - and very honest - I could not help but dislike the narrator, Dylan Baker. It seemed as though Mr. Baker did not like Steve Jobs and frequently quoted Jobs in a whiny voice that took away from the book itself.

Ishmael, a sailor looking for his next adventure, and his friend who happens to be a former prince, sign up to join a whaling ship in Nantucket. The morning before they set sail on their voyage, many ominous signs of what the pair's fate may be are seen and heard through sermon and prophecy as the two friends ignore the warnings and make their way to the docks. Soon into the trip, the one-legged Captain Ahab announces that the whaling adventure is really a hunt for one very specific large, white sperm whale.

I've wanted to read this book for decades and am SO glad I LISTENED to it! I would have missed Melville's alliteration, and the magic of his writing that can only be revealed by listening to it. The reader, Philippe Duquenoy was fabulous. He read at a fast pace and was so engaging. What an experience. I highly recommend this version read by this reader.

Ben Horowitz offers essential advice on building and running a startup - practical wisdom for managing the toughest problems business school doesn’t cover, based on his popular ben’s blog. While many people talk about how great it is to start a business, very few are honest about how difficult it is to run one. The Hard Thing About Hard Things is invaluable for veteran entrepreneurs as well as those aspiring to their own new ventures, drawing from Horowitz’s personal and often humbling experiences.

I really enjoyed this book. His reading is excellent, the content is valuable to anyone running a business. I know that I will listen to this book again and again. The only thing difficult about LISTENING to a book is that I can't underline and highlight sections to go back to and think about more carefully. If you own a business, I highly recommend this book.
