About this listen
Bernried am Starnberger See, 1939: Als der Zweite Weltkrieg beginnt, sind Wilhelm Lehmann und Paul-Friedrich von Falkenbach voller Sorge, was das für Deutschland und ihre Familien bedeutet. Nie soll ihren Söhnen widerfahren, was sie selbst erleben mussten.
Unterdessen ist Wilhelmine von Falkenbach erleichtert, weil sie einen Brief von Martin bekommen hat. Er lebt! Gibt es doch noch Hoffnung auf ein Wiedersehen? Ihre Schwägerin Clara hingegen ist völlig verzweifelt: Sie, die niemals Kinder haben wollte, ist schwanger. Ihr Mann Gustav soll auf keinen Fall etwas davon erfahren. Doch ausgerechnet Leopold Lehmann sieht sie, als sie eine Abtreibungsklinik verlässt...
Zu Paul-Friedrichs 60. Geburtstag versammeln sich nicht nur Familie und Freunde, die Feier ist auch ein taktischer Schachzug des Patriarchen, um seine Feinde im Auge zu behalten. Mit Wilhelm ist er sich einig, dass man etwas gegen den politischen Wahnsinn unternehmen muss, doch sie wissen: Wenn sie versagen, wird es nicht nur sie, sondern auch ihre Familien das Leben kosten.

Heidelberg 1388: Die junge Madlen steht schon früh im Dienst einer Hebamme und hilft ihr bei Geburten und der Behandlung von Frauenleiden. Neben ihrem umfassenden Wissen über Kräuter, durch die sie Schmerzen lindert, stößt sie während einer Geburt eher zufällig auf die beruhigende Wirkung durch flackerndes Kerzenlicht in Verbindung mit gesprochenen Psalmen. Natürlich darf niemand etwas von dieser besonderen Methode erfahren, schließlich kann es sich hierbei nur um Hexenwerk handeln.

Spätsommer 2018. Über Nacht ist Mona Lang reich. Ihre Großtante Klara hat ihr ein großes Haus in München-Schwabing vermacht, denn sie war sich sicher: "Mona wird das Richtige tun."

München, 1938. Die vierzehnjährige Klara belauscht an der Salontür ein Gespräch zwischen ihrem Vater, dem Staatsanwalt Ernst-Friedrich Hacker, und ihrem Vermieter, dem jüdischen Unternehmer Jakob Roth.

When mystery author D. B. Ziegler is late delivering her book, Abi Schore steps in to help. Surely she can give her favorite author moral support over the holiday break and get the manuscript to her boss at Tea & Sympathy Publishing in time for the new year. When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
