The Moving Picture Girls by Laura Lee Hope audiobook.

Genre: adventure

Ruth and Alice DeVere and their father Hosmer struggle to make ends meet in New York City - times are hard, even for a talented actor like Mr. DeVere. Just as he successfully auditions for a new play, an old voice affliction renders him terribly hoarse and he loses the role. Despite voice rest and medical treatment, Mr. DeVere's voice fails to improve, and it is impossible to find theatre work.

A friend and neighbour in their apartment building suggests that Mr. DeVere tries acting in the moving pictures (which being silent, would not need him to speak at all) but Mr. DeVere considers that business to be common and cheap. However, when they receive an eviction notice, and local shops refuse to extend credit, Mr. DeVere may have no choice ... and where he goes, his daughters will follow.

Tao Te Ching by Lao-Tze ~ Full Audiobook [philosophy]

Tao Te Ching by Lao-Tze audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

The Tao Te Ching, attributed to the sage Lao-Tze, is a compact yet far-reaching guide to living in harmony with the Tao - the subtle, unnamed source and pattern behind nature, society, and the self. Told in short, poetic chapters, it invites listeners to trade force for flexibility, certainty for curiosity, and struggle for balance. Through images of water, valleys, uncarved wood, and the turning of seasons, the book explores wu-wei (effortless action), humility, simplicity, and the quiet strength of yielding. It speaks to the individual seeking steadiness in a noisy world, and also to leaders who want to govern without coercion, influence without domination, and create order without exhausting control. Rather than offering rigid commandments, the text works like a mirror, challenging ambition, pride, and excess while pointing toward compassion, moderation, and clarity. Each passage can be returned to again and again, revealing new meaning as circumstances change. Whether approached as philosophy, spiritual teaching, or practical wisdom, the Tao Te Ching remains an enduring invitation to align intention with the natural flow of life.

The Story of a Candy Rabbit by Laura Lee Hope audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

In The Story of a Candy Rabbit, Laura Lee Hope spins a sweet, make-believe adventure that begins after closing time in a toy store, when the Candy Rabbit discovers he can sit up, look around, and talk with the other wonders on the Easter novelty counter. Surrounded by glittering eggs with tiny window scenes, a clockwork Fuzzy Bunny, and a friendly Chocolate Rabbit, the Candy Rabbit feels as if he has stepped into Fairyland, even though morning customers will soon return and everything must look ordinary again. When a shopper chooses him as a special Easter gift for a little girl named Madeline, the Candy Rabbit sets off on a new life beyond the store, full of excitement and uncertainty. Being made of candy and sugar is not as safe as it sounds, and he must face accidents, separations, and animal mischief that threaten his chance to stay loved and protected. Through each small escapade, he learns what courage looks like for someone so fragile, and why friendship, hope, and a warm home matter most.
