Story
In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. In a searing portrait of a community engulfed by panic—with ruthless prosecutors, and neighbors eager to testify against neighbor—The Crucible famously mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria that held the United States in its grip in the 1950’s.

Leslie Marmon Silko's sublime Ceremony is almost universally considered one of the finest novels ever written by an American Indian.

Publisher's summary
In 1838, 13,000 Cherokee were forced to leave their homeland in the Southeast and walk 900 miles to present-day Oklahoma. Hunger, cold, fatigue, and disease threatened their very survival. Their grueling relocation trek - the Trail of Tears - takes on new immediacy and meaning with this stunning work of fiction. Maritole loses not only her home and her settled life in North Carolina, but also many of the people closest to her. A chorus of voices joins hers to vividly recreate the tragic story of the Cherokee removal. Amid wrenching scenes of hardship and pain, there is the underlying strength that ultimately allowed this ancient people to endure.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Did not connect with me at all
Would you try another book from Diane Glancy and/or the narrator?
No - I love American history and really looked forward to this book. I tried to listen multiple times and just could not connect
Would you ever listen to anything by Diane Glancy again?
No
What didn’t you like about the narrator’s performance?
I think it was more the story than the narrator
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I did not make it very far into the book. Perhaps there was something buried in there that I did not find.
Any additional comments?
My fault in that I didn't listen to the preview. I think I would have skipped the purchase if I had.

A Big disappointment
I love this subject and read a lot of Native American history. This book was boring & tedious. I did not like all the different voices, but prefer one reader. After 45 minutes of trying to enjoy the story, I never finished it.
