Publisher's summary
Have you ever stood in the checkout line at the grocery store and had to put things back due to limited funds? I’m writing about you. How about being on the side of the road with a broken vehicle and wondering how you’re going to get to work with no money to fix it? You will relate to this book. Have you ever lost income due to tragic events, and now you have to improvise to make ends meet? I’ve written a version of your story. How about sitting alone and thinking to yourself, “There’s got to be better than this?” Are you the type person that’s sick and tired of broken relationships, friends disappointing you, or living paycheck to paycheck? I’ve got you with this book. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Sienna, a single mother who lost a God fearing husband to black on black crime, searches for love, happiness, and an end to living paycheck to paycheck. Armed with nothing more than the will to survive, determination, and the ambition to make things better for her daughter, she fights to rise above adversity. Despite support of family and the occasional friend, she copes with judgement, lack of belief in herself, low wages, limited opportunity, black male shortages, and the struggles of a one income household.
Will she rise above judgment and lack of belief in herself? How long will low wages and living paycheck to paycheck persist? Can her daughter have a better life? Do respectable black men still exist? Will she be broken until the grave? Was the system designed for her to fail? Will she ever be happy? Can any of us?
These questions and more are answered in PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK, a book about one woman’s quest to rise above foolishness, adversity, and living paycheck to paycheck. The most relatable book in urban book of the year.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Story
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Tired of looking up and seeing the devil in their eyes, as I dream of a life that doesn't resemble hell. I'm tired of being a sperm receptacle. Tired of being abused by demons for addictions I can't shake. Crack has become my everything. My food, ...

The story was a positive, and showcases the better part of the black culture
Sometimes the AI was a little robotic with certain words but the story was so good that them moments didn't completely ruin it.
