From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.

It starts with a stranger walking into a campsite, seemingly out of nowhere. It ends with that same stranger at the Denver airport. Along the way, he has acquired a prize that will be his salvation. But the road to Easy Street can take unexpected turns. And the only certainty about a sure thing is that nothing is certain at all.

A great quick listen, and an education hopefully this is true, about hawks and their value about a specific breed known for its speed. Very entertaining.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,303
1944. Physics professor Alfred Mendel and his family were trying to flee Paris when they were caught and forced onto a train, along with thousands of other Jewish families. At the other end of the long, torturous train ride, Alfred is separated from his family and sent to the men’s camp, where all of his belongings are tossed on a roaring fire. His books, his papers, his life’s work. The Nazis have no idea what they have just destroyed. And without that physical record, Alfred is one of only two people in the world with his particular knowledge. Knowledge that could start a war, or end it.

Reviewed: 09-10-24
Decided to expand my mental and musical horizons and gave Snoop a listen. Blown away by how impressed I became by the individual himself, his family values, and his personal the part about Jul ames Brown especially. Snoop's music has changed my mind about rap. I love his music and his story. Highly recommended!

Maddie Sykes is a burgeoning seamstress who’s just arrived in Bright Leaf, North Carolina—the tobacco capital of the South—where her aunt has a thriving sewing business. After years of war rations and shortages, Bright Leaf is a prosperous wonderland in full technicolor bloom, and Maddie is dazzled by the bustle of the crisply uniformed female factory workers, the palatial homes, and, most of all, her aunt’s glossiest clientele: the wives of the powerful tobacco executives.

Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient traditions, lies something sinister. And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder. But why would the professor target one of his students?

This sounds like something off lifetime channel. – Bash the guy and plot and plan like manipulating women do when you get the right crowd together. I couldn’t get past the seventh chapter. I do not recommend . Too soupy too slow drags on

Just so it’s disclosed I do not like podcast and gave this one a chance. It is better than I thought it would be. It wasn’t too loud like most are overbearing. Interesting but not enough detail. Where is the gore? Too much given away early on and then you expected it to happen and then it was not as bad as your mind built it up to need more weirdness. I like The length of the story. And I like the characters voices they were real authentic sounding a real life scenario unfolding. I would Recommend if you’re in a hurry and like murder mysteries.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,009
War and Peace is at once an epic war chronicle and an exploration of everything that make us all human: love and hate, ambition and despair, life and death. Allow yourself to get lost in the lives of three Russian aristocratic families, whose triumphs and challenges are every bit as resonant to today’s listener as they were to original readers. Thandiwe Newton inhabits each character with such flair that it is easy to forget that you are listening to one voice.

The narration here is impossible to listen to. Whiny over-the-top spoiled voice. No wonder this was a free book from audible. I’m sure the book is excellent as long as it had someone else doing the reading. I do not recommend this version.

This is such a good story and such a fun lesson. It’s a lot about Patsy Jefferson she marries Tom Randolph and the life she leads in France with her father and then returning back to America. Their run from the British when they came after Paul revere warned everybody very exciting. This is just a pleasant easy listen you will enjoy it highly recommend
