Sabrena Swept Away - Karuna Riazi
Jul 2912:00:00Tap to summarizeListen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Sabrena Swept AwayAuthor: Karuna RiaziNarrator: TBDFormat: AbridgedLength: 12:00:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 07-29-2025Publisher: Greenwillow BooksGenres: Kids, Health & Family, Fairy Tales & FolkloreSummary:Sabrena’s father has always claimed their family is descended from the legendary sailor Sinbad. But when the sea calls Sabrena to a whole new world, she’ll have to fight to claim her own story. From the author of the acclaimed A Bit of Earth, this reimagining of the classic characters from One Thousand and One Nights is perfect for fans of The Last Mapmaker and Mañanaland. Any other story would begin with “once upon a time.” But Sabrena’s story is different. “Fulfilling all my worst fears,” her mother says, “you were born by the sea.” And it’s true that the sea has always seemed to call to Sabrena. Her father reminds her that they are, of course, descended from the legendary sailor Sinbad. So it’s basically qadr—fate—that Sabrena has an affinity toward the sea. Even so, Sabrena has had a truly ordinary life: trying to be an exemplary daughter, meeting all of her parents’ high expectations. Despite, maybe, wanting something more interesting for herself. At least she can escape into the family’s favorite book—One Thousand and One Nights—and all the adventures and magic found there. But one day, the sea’s call will not be denied. It sweeps her away to be fished out of an ocean both strange and oddly familiar. It only takes her a moment to realize that she’s in the stories spun by the legendary queen Scheherazade. Yet no one here has ever heard of Sinbad, a frightening jinn is terrorizing the kingdoms, and nothing seems to be going quite as it does in the stories. Inspired by the classic One Thousand and One Nights, acclaimed author Karuna Riazi has crafted a tantalizing tale about fate, choice, and being torn between them both. Sabrena Swept Away is a thematically rich story that will resonate with fans of Christina Soontornvat’s The Last Mapmaker and Kiyash Monsef’s Once There Was.

Cities Under Siege: One Night of Violence in America’s Urban Wasteland - Gianno Caldwell
Jun 2412:00:00Tap to summarizeListen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Cities Under Siege: One Night of Violence in America’s Urban WastelandAuthor: Gianno CaldwellNarrator: TBDFormat: UnabridgedLength: 12:00:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 06-24-2025Publisher: HarperAudioGenres: Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Science, Political IdeologiesSummary:A Fox News analyst and well-known commentator on urban violence examines the rise in crime affecting American cities and tells how it has personally affected families, including his own. On June 24, 2022, Gianno Caldwell’s eighteen-year-old brother, Christian, was murdered. He was standing with friends on a street in the Southside of Chicago when a black SUV pulled up and several unidentified men opened fire. Fifty shell casings were later found at the scene. Three in the crowd were rushed to the hospital; only two survived. His family was shattered, and Caldwell was devastated. Tragically, he is not alone. In this gripping exposé, Caldwell dives deep into the heart of America's big cities, telling the stories of several other murders that occurred on the same night his brother died, revealing the shocking human tragedy beneath the rise in crime rates. The Night My Brother Was Murdered takes a bold stance, shining a spotlight on the multiple failings of Democratic policies that have transformed our once-thriving metropolises into crime-ridden centers. Caldwell meticulously dissects the consequences of progressive agendas that prioritize social experiments over public safety. Though some of the worst cities have the strictest gun control laws, they cannot stop the proliferation of weapons from states with few regulations. He reveals the detrimental effects of failed poverty programs, the effect of the disintegration of two-parent households, the decline of religion, and sanctuary city policies that can help to shield criminals. Combining rigorous research and poignant personal anecdotes, Caldwell provides a comprehensive understanding of the dangers facing urban communities, and presents a compelling case for why we must reject the status quo and demand change.

When he finds a lost wallet filled with documents, his life is drastically changed. Mrs. Yeom, a retired history teacher and current owner of her neighborhood’s corner store, is distraught over the loss of her purse, until she receives a mysterious call from the person who found it. To thank this down-on-his-luck stranger, she offers him a free meal from the convenience store. Seeing the joy the food brings him, Mrs. Yeom impulsively invites him to stop by for lunch every day. In a twist of fate, Dok-go saves the store from a robber—a brave act that propels Mrs. Yeom to offers the bear-like man a job working the night shift, despite the objections of her wary employees. The store’s new employee quickly wins over the quirky denizens of the neighborhood, becoming a welcoming ear and source of advice for his coworkers and neighbors’ problems, and helping his new boss save the store from financial ruin. But just when things are looking up for Dok-go, Mrs. Yeom's good-for-nothing son, eager to sell the store, hires a detective to dig into the mysterious man’s past and what he seems to be trying so hard to forget. The Second Chance Convenience Store is a moving and joyful story of a woman fighting for her community and a man who has lost everything except the will to try again.

Growing up, Alyne internalized that she should live her life for others: for her husband, for her family, for the Mormon church. For twenty-five years she dutifully put others ahead of herself, repressing and rejecting those things that didn’t fit the neat, traditional story that had been written for her. To the world, her life seemed perfect. But in reality, Alyne was miserable, silently struggling to reconcile the pain and humiliation of abuse, an eating disorder, infidelity, and depression with the perfect image she projected. In her early twenties, she was married to a person she didn’t love, living a life that didn’t feel like her own. Alyne reached her breaking point the day her husband asked for a divorce over email. Thank God! Or not God. She felt her life was truly ending, but really, it was just the beginning. Forced to start a new life, she broke free of the burdens of others’ expectations. But first she had to find out who she was and what she actually wanted. For years, Alyne had secretly yearned to be a digital nomad, working for herself while travelling the world. Now it was time to figure out how to make that dream a reality. This is her unique, 10-years-too-late coming-of-age memoir about the days before and up to becoming the star online personality she is today. In her singular voice, the poignant, hilarious and vulnerable storyteller invites us to join her on a remarkable journey of self-discovery and strength—empowering all of us to seek our own authentic selves. Her story is an inspiring testament to the limitless possibilities that await those brave enough to defy convention.

Better: A Memoir About Wanting to Die - Arianna Rebolini
Apr 29, 202512:00:00Tap to summarizeListen to this audiobook in full for free onhttps://hotaudiobook.com/freeTitle: Better: A Memoir About Wanting to DieAuthor: Arianna ReboliniNarrator: TBDFormat: UnabridgedLength: 12:00:00Language: EnglishRelease date: 04-29-2025Publisher: HarperAudioGenres: Biography & Memoir, Non-Fiction, Psychology, Social ScienceSummary:A gutsy, riveting memoir that intimately explores suicide, its legacy in families, and the cyclical, crooked path of recovery. Why do so many people want to die—and how do we begin to understand what makes a person choose suicide? After a decade of therapy and a stint in a psychiatric ward to treat suicidal depression, Arianna Rebolini was “better.” She’d published her first book, enjoyed an influential, rewarding publishing job, and celebrated both a marriage and the birth of her first child—but none of it was enough to keep the desire to die at bay. One night, grappling with overwhelming debt and a prolonged depression, she composed goodbye letters to her husband and son while they slept just feet away. In Better, Arianna interweaves the story of her month-long period of crisis with decades of personal and family history, from her first cry for help in the fourth grade with a plastic knife, to her fears of passing down the dark seed of suicide to her own son, and her brother’s own life-threatening affliction. To make sense of this dark desire, Arianna pored over the journals, memoirs, and writings of famous suicides, and eventually developed theories on what makes a person suicidal. Her curiosity was driven by the morbid, impossible need to understand what happens in the fatal moment between wanting to kill oneself and doing it—or, unthinkably, the moment between regretting the action and realizing it can’t be undone. When her own brother became institutionalized, Arianna realized that all of the patterns and trenchant insights could not crack the shell of his annihilating depression—and that the only way to help a person live is to address the societal factors that make them want to die. A harrowing intellectual and emotional odyssey marked by remarkable clarity and compassion, Better is a tour through the seductive darkness of death and a life-affirming memoir. Arianna touches on suicide’s public fallout and its intensely private origins as she searches for answers to the profound question: How do we get better for good?

A moving coming-of-age story about the power of art in wartime, based on true events. As Allied bombs rain down on Torino in the autumn of 1942, Stella Costa’s mother sends her to safety with distant relatives in a Tuscan villa. There, Stella finds her family tasked with a great responsibility: hiding nearly 300 priceless masterpieces from Florence, including Botticelli’s famous Primavera. With the arrival of German troops imminent, Stella finds herself a stranger in her family’s villa and she struggles to understand why her aunt doesn’t like her. She knows it has something to do with her parents—and the fact that her father, who is currently fighting at the front, has been largely absent from her life. When a wave of refugees seeks shelter in the villa, Stella befriends Sandro, an orphaned boy with remarkable artistic talent. Amid the growing threats, Sandro and Stella take refuge in the villa’s “treasure room,” where the paintings are hidden. There, Botticelli’s masterpiece and other works of art become a solace, an inspiration, and the glue that bonds Stella and Sandro as the dangers grow. A troop of German soldiers requisitions the villa and puts everyone to forced labor. Now, with the villa full of German soldiers, refugees, a secret guest, and hundreds of priceless treasures, no one knows who will emerge unscathed, and whether the paintings will be taken as spoils or become unintended casualties. Inspired by the incredible true story of a single Tuscan villa used as a hiding place for the treasures of Florentine art during World War II, The Keeper of Lost Art takes readers on a breathtaking journey into one of the darkest chapters of Italy’s history, highlighting the incredible courage of everyday people to protect some of the most important works of art in western civilization.
