Story
Oklahoma, 1909. Eleven-year-old Olive Augusta Radley knows that her stepfather doesn’t have good intentions toward the two Choctaw girls boarded in their home as wards. When the older girl disappears, Ollie flees to the woods, taking six-year-old Nessa with her. Together they begin a perilous journey to the remote Winding Stair Mountains, the notorious territory of outlaws, treasure hunters, and desperate men. Along the way, Ollie and Nessa form an unlikely band with others like themselves, struggling to stay one step ahead of those who seek to exploit them . . . or worse.

Story
A brilliant, soulful, and timely portrait of a 200-year-old crabbing community in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay as it faces extinction from rising sea levels - part natural history of an extraordinary ecosystem, starring the beloved blue crab; part paean to a vanishing way of life; and part meditation on man’s relationship with the environment - from the acclaimed author, who reported this story for more than two years.

This book takes the reader to a story shared in its own time. Not rushed. It is a story about a people living life their own way. Like other somewhat closed social groups, there are difficult and alternatively poignant aspects to their lives.
Rather than judging the people in this book, just allow it to unfold. Enjoy.

Story
Have you ever found yourself wondering “Why do I want more than I have?” Michael Easter, author of The Comfort Crisis and one of the world’s leading experts on behavior change, shows that the problem isn’t you. The problem is your scarcity mindset, left over from our ancient ancestors. They had to constantly seek and consume to survive because vital survival tools like food, material goods, information, and power were scarce and hard to find. But with our modern ability to easily fulfill our ancient desire for more, our hardwired “scarcity brain” is now backfiring.

Story
In The Comfort of Crows, Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the lingering bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest box they used in spring—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and grief over winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer.

Lovely essays on Appalachian life. People plants & animals sharing the same patch. Renkle does it so well. I could not imagine anyone stirring my soul like Susan Griffin and Annie Dillard, but Renkle does it.
This will be an annual read. I bought a paper copy too!

Disappointing use of a credit. If you might benefit from having someone tell you to use caution picking a mate, you should do less cell phone time, and be kind in your disagreements, this book is for you.
Narrator has a nice voice. Of course Oprah has a beautiful voice.
Might be for you, not so much for me.

Story
Golden Globe-winning actor Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under) performs Truman Capote's masterstroke about a young writer's charmed fascination with his unorthodox neighbor, the "American geisha" Holly Golightly. Holly - a World War II-era society girl in her late teens - survives via socialization, attending parties and restaurants with men from the wealthy upper class who also provide her with money and expensive gifts. Over the course of the novella, the seemingly shallow Holly slowly opens up to the curious protagonist.

Capote gives one a snapshot of the young writer’s heart. The book brings one back to the writer not focusing on the magnificent Audrey Hepburn of the movie.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

Reviewed: 06-21-22
This is a poignant story of making your life work out. It is gloriously and intentionally slow so that the reader/listener can hear those crawdads and feel the water and hear her pencil scratching on paper.
There remains a rugged slow life in the South and Appalachia for people that are not plugged in.
A beautiful listen.
If you can’t hear what Kya hears, try taking a blanket to a park, lie under a shade tree on the earth without snacks.
In my top 20 reads/listens.
