From the day Cobb and Mary meet kayaking on Maine’s Allagash River and fall deeply in love, the two approach life with the same sense of adventure they use to conquer the river’s treacherous rapids. But rivers do not let go so easily - and neither does their love. When Mary’s life takes a cruel turn, she vows to face those rough waters on her own terms and asks Cobb to promise, when the time comes, to help her return to their beloved river for one final journey. This beautiful tale is set against the rugged wilderness of Maine, the exotic islands of Indonesia, the sweeping panoramas of Yellowstone National Park, and the tranquil villages of rural New England.

A superb book
Revisado: 01-13-24
Do you love a good love story set in New England, do you love kayaking, and the natural environment and curious about the end of life for some with a non-curable disease? But above all, do you have an appreciation for superbly written, and read books? I could not stop listening to this novel.

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol.

Mandatory reading for students in years to come
Revisado: 01-07-24
This is an outstanding book that I pray is listened to by everyone making the decision between voting for Democracy or Fascism in 2024. No doubt this will be mandatory reading for students in years to come. I decided to listen to this book on Audiobooks as I had heard from others that the real time audio tapes by Mitch McConnell, Dick Cheney and many others were interspersed throughout the book, which I found incredibly valuable. I also prefer to listen to books read by their author. Well, researched and copy editors did an excellent job of making sure everything that was added, was completely factual.

The Lioness of Boston is a portrait of what society expected a woman's life to be, shattered by a courageous soul who rebelled and was determined to live on her own terms.

A Treasure
Revisado: 10-21-23
Anyone looking for a respite from the craziness of our world, should find a peaceful haven at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. I highly suggest listening or reading The Lioness of Boston before such a visit, as your time spent in the museum will be so much richer and meaningful.

By the time she became US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch had seen her share of corruption, instability, and tragedy in developing countries. But it came as a shock when, in early 2019, she was recalled from her post after a smear campaign by President Trump’s personal attorney and his associates—men operating outside of normal governmental channels, and apparently motivated by personal gain. Her courageous participation in the subsequent impeachment inquiry earned Yovanovitch the nation’s respect, and her dignified response to the president’s attacks won our hearts.

Essential reading from an American hero
Revisado: 04-02-22
Lessons From The Edge is essential reading, or listening, for every voter, person in politics, government, law, and especially for our high school and college government and history students. Marie Yovanovitch has critically important and timely lessons for every person in this nation.
I chose to listen to this book on my long weekly car rides because I was in the midst of reading two other books and I knew Lessons From The Edge would provide me with background and inside information to the current war and the Jan 6 investigation into the Trump corruption. As an extra bonus to the writing of this book is the fact that Marie Yovanovitch narrates her book and does a superb job. I plan on buying a hard bound copy for my library as it deserves a spot front and center.
