Week 2 -- In Week 2, the theme of confronting injustice receives treatment in both historical fiction and a contemporary novel based on the author’s own experiences. Each is narrated by a single performer, providing the opportunity to explore how one reader can act a variety of roles, including dialogue and narrative.

FREE -- Trell -- Dick Lehr/ Bahni Turpin -- 8.8 hrs -- injustice

Listeners will appreciate the warmth and gumption that narrator Bahni Turpin brings to this startling story of injustice, inspired by the author’s real-life reporting. Teenager Trell Taylor is determined to reinvestigate the case that led to her father’s wrongful conviction for murder. Trell enlists the help of a misanthropic investigative journalist to revisit witnesses and track down the real killer. Turpin captures the emotional pain that Trell and her mother face in the aftermath of her father’s incarceration. The story also allows room for hard facts and journalism lessons. Turpin takes care to soften her “r”s to evoke a classic Boston accent for the big-name cops and prosecutors who want the case to stay buried.

FREE -- They Went Left -- Monica Hesse/ Caitlin Davies -- 9.1 hrs -- historical

Narrator Caitlin Davies reflects the terrible confusion of 18-year-old Zofia, who has recently been liberated from Gross-Rosen concentration camp in Germany. She is haunted by memories of her younger brother, Abek, who may be her only family member still alive. Davies's narration doesn't hold back on emotions as the story reveals Zofia's past hell, broken present, and future hopes. Dramatic musical interludes add to the power of Zofia's attempts to remember what happened to her brother. At Foehrenwald, a displaced persons camp, Davies reflects Zofia's awakening feelings, which are both positive and disturbing amid the chaos of the world around her. Davies takes us on a powerful journey at a singular time. The author reads an afterword documenting her process and recommending books she discovered while researching and writing.

I'll repeat what I've mentioned before: this is an excellent book. I listened to it earlier this year, and it's a beautifully written novel.

I consolidated all of the free audiobook offers into a single thread in the Audiobook Discussions forum. I did it to reduce the congestion in the two opening posts of this thread. From now on, there'll just be one line entry for free audiobooks for each bookstore in this thread linking it to a detailed post in the Discussions forum.

Comment here. Thanks, tm
.

Commenting here: could you, TM, make a new post in that new thread, when you change something in the lead-in posts? Or is that too much bother?

When I subscribe to a thread, I get email about "new posts". I never hear about modifications to the top post, so I forget to look there.

No bother at all. Whenever I updated the free Audible US post (formerly located in the Archives thread of the Audiobook Discussions forum), I would make the announcement in this thread. I fully intended to do the same thing with each of these new posts.

So, which do you prefer - continue announcing in this thread or start announcing in the Free Audiobooks thread? Makes no difference to me.

Beginner's Mind - written and narrated by Yo Yo Ma

"I realize, perhaps for the first time that I had to learn the cello to become a musician, and that it was only through decades of musical exploration that I came to understand my responsibility as a human being."

Journey with musical virtuoso Yo-Yo Ma as the iconic performer and global phenomenon delves into the world of self-discovery and our deeply interwoven humanity. This is Beginner's Mind, Ma’s extraordinary addition to Audible’s Words + Music series, blending vivid personal memoir and breathtaking exclusive performances with indelible lessons gained over a lifetime pursuing meaning, connection, and shared purpose.

Beginner's Mind continues Ma’s passionate exploration of culture’s role in helping us to imagine and build a better future, asking each of us "to strip away preconceptions and reclaim a beginner's mind…one open to new questions, new connections, new explorations, and unexpected answers." As Ma tracks his own profound journey through "four stories of beginnings," listeners gain insight into his past and discover how the cultural visionary continues to find hope in the endless possibility of human curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.

Beginner's Mind joins Audible’s ongoing Words + Music series, providing an outlet for musical icons to defy traditional formats with an innovative, and unprecedented approach to musical storytelling and personal expression.
