Between Memphis and Rose Valley Hills, there are the good and the gritty—both have a story to tell … In Love Letters from Memphis, a clear and distinct line was drawn between the secret society and the underworld. In A Memphis Gangsta’s Pain, friendships and family bonds are on the line as Londen Graham and Noah Gabriel both claim their freedom and choose different sides of the law to abide by. As Londen yearns to be a family man with his fiancée Lei, the wild lifestyle of his best friend Noah and his father’s pleas for help have him on the brink of returning to the streets.

They Got To You Too
By Futhi Ntshingila
CD
“Hans van Rooyen is a former police general raised by two women who survived the 1899 South African War. He finds himself being cared for in an old age home by the daughter of liberation struggle activists. At age 80, he carries with him the memories of crimes he committed as an officer under the apartheid government. Having eluded the public confessions at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for his time in the Border Wars, he retained his position in democratic South Africa, serving as an institutional memory for a new generation of police recruits. Zoe Zondi is tasked to care for the old man. Her gentle and compassionate nature prompts Hans to review his decision to go to the grave with all his secrets. Zoe has her own life story to tell and, as their unlikely bond deepens, strengthened by the isolation that COVID-19 lockdown brings, they provide a safe space for each other to say the things that are often left unsaid.”–

A Brilliant Life: My mother’s inspiring true story of surviving the Holocaust
By: Rachelle Unreich
Pre-Loaded Audio
“The powerful, true story of a Holocaust survivor told by her daughter-a tale that reminds us of the resilience of the soul and the ability of the heart to heal. As Mira is nearing the end of her life, her daughter Rachelle wants to find out how her mother had lived through four concentration camps, including Auschwitz, and a Death March. There was a mystery to her survival, it seemed-which perhaps had something to do with the strange things that always happened around her. And, incredibly, when giving testimony later in life, she says that it was during this time-despite witnessing the depths of man’s cruelty-that she learned about “the goodness of people.”
