A Daughter of Today by Sara Jeannette Duncan audiobook.

Genre: drama

In late-Victorian London and Paris, Elfrida Bell is determined to become more than a well-bred ornament. Brilliant, restless, and fiercely self-aware, she styles herself a modern woman of letters and art, chasing recognition in magazines, salons, and studios while measuring herself against the people who seem effortlessly at home in the world she wants to conquer. As Elfrida forms intense friendships and rivalries with writers, artists, and patrons, she learns that ambition comes with a cost: money is scarce, reputations are fragile, and the line between sincerity and performance can blur in the very circles that promise freedom. Sara Jeannette Duncan follows Elfrida through cramped rooms, glittering parties, and hard-won professional opportunities, capturing the hunger to create, the sting of criticism, and the complicated negotiations of love, independence, and belonging. Sharp, observant, and emotionally incisive, A Daughter of Today is a portrait of a young woman testing the limits of her talent and her era, as she tries to decide what success should look like - and what she is willing to sacrifice to claim it.

Prayers and Meditations by Samuel Johnson audiobook.

Genre: religion

Prayers and Meditations offers an intimate look into the private spiritual life of Samuel Johnson, the towering English writer and moralist best known for his essays, criticism, and dictionary. Drawn from his personal papers, these entries trace years of self-examination as Johnson faces recurring illness, grief, temptation, loneliness, and the relentless pressure of time. In plain yet powerful language, he records prayers for guidance and discipline, meditations on sin and mercy, and vows to reorder his days toward charity, study, and honest labor. The book is not a polished devotional manual so much as a candid diary of the soul: a brilliant, anxious mind wrestling with faith in the middle of ordinary obligations and extraordinary sorrow. As Johnson measures resolutions against failures, he returns again and again to themes of repentance, perseverance, and dependence on God, asking what it means to live well when strength and certainty falter. The result is a moving companion for listeners who value spiritual candor, moral seriousness, and the human struggle to align belief with daily life.

Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis audiobook.

Genre: drama

Sinclair Lewis' Arrowsmith follows Martin Arrowsmith, a restless young man from the American Midwest who is determined to become the kind of doctor who serves truth before comfort. From medical school lectures and small town practice to big city hospitals and elite research laboratories, Martin keeps running into the same question: is medicine a calling, a business, or a science? Guided and challenged by mentors, colleagues, and rivals - including the uncompromising researcher Max Gottlieb - he is pulled between competing worlds: the pressure to please patients, the lure of professional status, and the lonely discipline of laboratory work. At the same time, his marriage to the spirited and steadfast Leora provides both refuge and a mirror for his ambitions. As public health crises and institutional politics close in, Martin must decide what he is willing to sacrifice for discovery, and whether integrity can survive inside systems built on money, reputation, and power. Sharp, funny, and unsettling, Arrowsmith is a classic portrait of idealism tested by the modern world.
