"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Two women. Two revolutions. A lifetime of exile and longing. In 1978, seventeen-year-old Omid is forced to flee Iran on the eve of the Islamic Revolution, leaving behind a mother whose defiance against the regime has made her a marked woman. Arriving in America, Omid believes her stay will be temporary. But when her mother is declared a fugitive, her dreams of return collapse, and she is left to build a life in exile—one shaped by loss, resilience, and the echoes of a past she cannot escape. Three decades later, Omid is a mother raising her daughters in Connecticut, trying to bury the memories of the country she once called home. But when her eldest daughter, Sayeh, is arrested in Tehran amid a new wave of protests, Omid’s past and present collide. As Sayeh disappears into the underground resistance, Omid is thrust into the same fear and defiance that once defined her own youth. Spanning two generations of women bound by revolution and exile, Tehran's Daughters is a powerful story of resistance, identity, and the unbreakable ties between mothers and daughters. Echoes of Resistance The Price of Freedom Previously published as Omid’s Shadow"

Fräulein Else: A New English Translation with Introduction & Essays

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Fräulein Else is a 1924 novella by the Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler. This new edition features: - A New Modern Translation - Introduction by the Editor - Author's Biography - Essay 1: Stream of Consciousness in Schnitzler's 'Fräulein Else' - Essay 2: Sexual Politics and Female Autonomy in Schnitzler's 'Fräulein Else' - Essay 3: The Controversy and Censorship of Schnitzler's 'Fräulein Else' While vacationing at a luxury resort in the Italian Alps, nineteen-year-old Else receives an urgent letter from her mother revealing her family's impending financial ruin and possible imprisonment. She must turn to Herr von Dorsday, a wealthy family acquaintance, for help. His proposition—to view her naked in exchange for saving her family—forces Else to confront impossible choices between family duty, personal dignity, and survival. Set against the backdrop of 1920s society, this compelling story exposes the moral bankruptcy of the upper classes and the impossible positions in which young women were often placed. Through Else's inner monologue, Schnitzler creates an intimate portrait of a young mind in crisis, capturing the psychological complexity of sexual politics and social pressure with remarkable insight and sensitivity. The narrative unfolds entirely through Else's interior monologue, allowing readers unprecedented access to her thoughts, fears, desires, and moral struggles. Supporting characters, including her aunt and cousin Paul, serve to highlight Else's isolation and the suffocating nature of her predicament. Herr von Dorsday emerges as an embodiment of patriarchal power and moral corruption, while Else's absent parents represent the decay of Viennese bourgeois society."

Oak & Ember: A gentle story to fall asleep to

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In a world of constant noise and distraction, 'Oak & Ember' offers a sanctuary of gentle rhythms and mindful presence. On the screened-in porch of an old farmhouse, Aunt Sylvie knits by the soft percussion of summer rain, her silver hair braided like a crown, her rocking chair marking time with its steady creak. As twilight deepens, nature begins its evening performance—distant lightning illuminates oak trees in brief golden tableaux, fireflies create constellations against the darkness, and the rich scent of wet earth mingles with night-blooming jasmine. This immersive journey follows a single evening as darkness gradually transforms the landscape. Through Sylvie's attentive eyes, we discover how night changes not just what we see but how we experience the world—sounds deepen, scents intensify, and boundaries between domestic and wild soften like watercolors in rain. 'Oak & Ember' is an invitation to rediscover the sensory richness of twilight hours, to find comfort in nature's consistent rhythms, and to experience the profound peace that comes with fully inhabiting a moment. Like the weathered wicker of Sylvie's chair, it holds the imprint of many evenings, many storms, many quiet moments of connection. Part of the 'Aunt Sylvie's Porch' series, this audiobook stands completely on its own as a meditative experience that reminds us how the simplest elements—rain on a roof, a cat's soft purring, the glow of a firefly—can create the most profound contentment. Let this lyrical journey transport you to a place where lightning paints oak trees in gold, where a porch becomes a universe unto itself, and where time moves to the rhythm of gentle rain."
