Fancher Narrator: Dion Graham Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 34 minutes Release date: February 4, 2025 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: An astounding multigenerational saga, Red Clay chronicles the interwoven lives of an enslaved Black family and their white owners as the Civil War ends and Reconstruction begins. In 1943, when a frail old white woman shows up in Red Clay, Alabama, at the home of a Black former slave—on the morning following his funeral—his family hardly knows what to expect after she utters the words “… a lifetime ago, my family owned yours.” Adelaide Parker has a story to tell—one of ambition, betrayal, violence, and redemption—that shaped both the fate of her family and that of the late Felix H. Parker. But there are gaps in her knowledge, and she’s come to Red Clay seeking answers from a family with whom she shares a name and a history that neither knows in full. In an epic saga that takes us from Red Clay to Paris, to the Côte d’Azur and New Orleans, human frailties are pushed to their limits as secrets are exposed and the line between good and evil becomes ever more difficult to discern. Red Clay is a tale that deftly lays bare the ugliness of slavery, the uncertainty of the final months of the Civil War, the optimism of Reconstruction, and the pain and frustration of Jim Crow. With a vivid sense of place and a cast of memorable characters, Charles B. Fancher draws upon his own family history to weave a riveting tale of triumph over adversity, set against a backdrop of societal change and racial animus that reverberates in contemporary America. Through seasons of joy and unspeakable pain, Fancher delivers rich moments as allies become enemies, and enemies—to their great surprise—find new respect for each other.

Loyal in His Love: An Invitation to Be Held by Jesus When Others Let You Go by Tabitha Panariso

Title: Loyal in His Love: An Invitation to Be Held by Jesus When Others Let You Go Author: Tabitha Panariso Narrator: Nancy Peterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 54 minutes Release date: January 14, 2025 Genres: Bibles & Biblical Studies Publisher's Summary: When everyone else leaves, Jesus stays. When all fails, Jesus remains. Rejection is inevitable. Yet we spend little time considering the significant impact it makes on an individual's whole self. When we do, we swaddle it in quippy statements and shallow encouragement--meaningful for just a moment. But rejection--like abandonment, betrayal, and estrangement--leaves aching wounds that challenge and forge our most intimate thoughts of who we believe God, others, and ourselves to be. In Loyal in His Love, Tabitha Panariso blends biblical truth, candid personal stories, and timeless wisdom forged through personal experience and her vocation as a therapist to invite readers into a new way of living. The heart that suffers rejection can't be cured. It must be resuscitated. Its condition warrants more than just platitudes--it merits the full attention of a loyal and loving God. This isn't just another Christian self-help book. Though Tabitha makes ample room for the hurting to process their own stories, points them to God's faithfulness, and challenges the way they think--she doesn't stop there. Jesus lived a life and death marked by rejection. Yet we remember Him for His compassion and generosity. He was and is proof that we could be remembered that way too. Thus, Tabitha guides readers through the life and death of Jesus as a means of counter-cultural response to the pain of rejection. Loyal in His Love ends squarely on the triumph of Christ's resurrection--not just as an antidote but a daily supplement. His restoration is ours--alive and active in our hearts, bodies, and lives. Each devastating moment of rejection is an opportunity to build bridges that will lead us into and through living hope and transformation.

Title: As You Wish Author: Nashae Jones Narrator: Jade Wheeler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 11 minutes Release date: January 7, 2025 Genres: Fairy Tales & Folklore Publisher's Summary: A girl learns the hard way to be careful what she wishes for in this sweet and funny middle grade rom-com featuring a chaos-loving West African trickster god. Birdie has big plans for eighth grade. This is the year that she gets a boyfriend, and since she and her best friend, Deve, do everything together, it makes sense that Deve will get a girlfriend. This is the kind of math Birdie doesn’t find intimidating—it’s Eighth Grade 101. (Birdie + Boyfriend) + (Deve + Girlfriend) = Normal Eighth Grade Experience. And normal is something Birdie craves, especially with a mom as overprotective as hers. She doesn’t expect Deve to be so against her plan, or for their fight to blow up in her face. So when the West African god Anansi appears to her, claiming to be able to make everything right again, Birdie pushes past her skepticism and makes a wish for the whole mess to go away. But with a trickster god, your wish is bound to come true in a way you never imagined. Before long, Birdie regrets her rash words…especially when she realizes what’s really going on with her and Deve. With her reality upended, can Birdie figure out how to undo her wish?

Title: [Spanish] - Pombero Author: Marina Closs Narrator: Luciana Quartieri Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 34 minutes Release date: December 19, 2024 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: ¿Cómo encontrar la propia ficción que sostiene nuestra identidad o la de otros? ¿Cómo escapar de esas ficciones aniquiladoras o necesarias? La idea de identidad como ilusión atraviesa esta poderosa colección de cuentos de Marina Closs, a veces como nudo asfixiante y a veces como punto de apoyo. Los personajes de Pombero parecen recomponerse a medida que hablan: nadie tiene una identidad sin una historia, nadie tiene una historia sin una voz. Estos mismos personajes deambulan en la forma más móvil y frágil de la existencia, que es la propia palabra, o se pierden en un mundo ajeno, a veces, demasiado real, a veces, demasiado insólito. Pese a ello, quedan estos rastros o relatos ficticios en donde alguien (una voz) se hunde o emerge. 'La escritura de Marina Closs tiembla, suda, estalla: es, desde ya, una de mis escritoras favoritas'—Mónica Ojeda

Title: When Dimple Met Rishi Author: Sandhya Menon Narrator: Vikas Adam, Sneha Mathan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: November 26, 2024 Genres: Tough Topics Publisher's Summary: The inspiration for the Netflix original series Mismatched! A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) Everyone is talking about this New York Times bestselling rom-com that Mindy Kaling called “utterly charming!” Eleanor & Park meets Bollywood in this hilarious and heartfelt novel about two Indian-American teens whose parents conspire to arrange their marriage. Dimple Shah has it all figured out. With graduation behind her, she’s more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma’s inexplicable obsession with her finding the “Ideal Indian Husband.” Ugh. Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. If they truly believed she needed a husband right now, they wouldn’t have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers…right? Rishi Patel is a hopeless romantic. So when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him—wherein he’ll have to woo her—he’s totally on board. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi wants to be arranged, believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself. The Shahs and Patels didn’t mean to start turning the wheels on this “suggested arrangement” so early in their children’s lives, but when they noticed them both gravitate toward the same summer program, they figured, Why not? Dimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways.
