By sheer coincidence, Kaelan and Hadley have independently spent their lives applying the same principal to their actions: done for the greater good.

But this time, by biting his tongue and going along with the “program” for financial security, he has found himself in a regrettable workplace and church quid pro quo.

If you enjoy thoughtful medical fiction, take a look at The Doctors' Lounge: A Brier Hospital Novel that helps the listener understand the ethical issues that take their toll on medical personnel, patients, and their families. A catchier title may have made the novel more appealing, however I chose accuracy first.

New Poems by D.H.Lawrence. Narrated by Denis Daly. This audiobook is a collection of 42 poems first published in 1920. In it, Lawrence explores the possibilities of free verse, of which he says in the preface: “This is the unrestful, ungraspable poetry of the sheer present, poetry whose very permanency lies in its wind-like transit.”

Set in the relentlessly grey-skied, grey-walled world of a Midlands coal mining village just after the First World War, this tells the story of the love that developed between Lady Chatterley and Oliver Mellors, her husband's gamekeeper. The full text was not published in the United Kingdom until 1960, more than 30 years after it had been written, because of its explicit content and use of prohibited words. And yet, one cannot help wondering whether without its excoriating and often still accurate depiction of the British upper classes, the book might have been less harshly received.

David Herbert Richards Lawrence (1885-1930) was one of England's greatest novelists, poets, playwrights, and writers of short stories. His works often explored emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct. "The Lovely Lady" is a short story which tells of an unnervingly dysfunctional family, including the elderly mother and an aunt, the lovely lady who looks much younger than her 72 years. Her son, Robert, and niece, Ciss, are dominated by the charming but manipulative old lady.

Lady Chatterley, eine attraktive und lebenslustige Frau, die mit einem adligen, infolge einer Kriegsverletzung gelähmten Grubenbesitzer verheiratet ist, beginnt ein intimes Liebesverhältnis mit dem Förster ihres Mannes, Oliver Mellors.

D.H.

Today’s natural disasters kill thousands of people in a matter of hours and days and we ask WHY? What made Job special then and now was the ability to stand nobly firm when tragedy surrounded him and to question the silence of God.
