Publisher's summary
In 1974, a waitress in small-town Nebraska idly dreams of escaping her dead-end job and her boss, who controls every aspect of her life - until a handsome stranger comes to town and her luck begins to change. Inspired by Bonnie and Clyde mythology and Robin Hood folklore, Ground Given is a romantic crime story of a woman determined to break free.
Sinead - who is both resilient and vulnerable, insightful and insecure - spends her days supporting her ailing mother and appeasing Emerson, the man who owns her house and the diner where she works. She wants nothing more than to leave the town her own dark history is bound up in, but Emerson asserts his power over her, thwarting her progress at every turn. One day, Tobias, a mysterious rambler from the east coast, walks into the diner, and Sinead makes the impulsive decision to invite him into her life and home. As their relationship intensifies, her dreams of running away take shape as ambitious plans, but one wrong move could have life-altering consequences.

But when the deacon in charge of the arrangements tells her there aren't places enough for everyone, she agrees to go live with her father's second cousin and his family in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Story4 out of 5 stars 881
In an authoritarian America, personal freedoms are at risk, information is being controlled, and legal citizens suddenly find themselves being deported. A growing resistance movement is active, angry, and looking to strike back. And a TV show for kids may be the key. Enter Celeste Montgomery and Bailey Vance. Celeste is an intern for the show that features Bailey singing and dancing with puppets. While Bailey teaches the kids about geography, Celeste is planting codes into the script, songs, background, whatever she can do to pass messages for the resistance.

An interview recorded on an iPhone. A police interrogation tape. An FBI wire. At the center of them all is a writer researching a legal thriller...or is he? And somewhere within those recordings is the truth about a murder trial and a web of lies stretching back three decades.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 577
Teenaged Jesse is trapped. Growing up, he had all the potential in the world, but then real life intervened. Now he's got a high school diploma, two perpetually black eyes, and a pill fix he can't shake. By day, when he's not high on pain killers, Jesse is hardening his body; it’s the only thing about his life that he can really control. By night, he’s a god in the makeshift ring under the barnyard flood lights, willing to take on any local tough the Madsen brothers put in front of him.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 324
In 1968, nine competitors set out in a race that had never before been attempted: to sail around the world, alone, without stopping. The route took them through the most dangerous waters on earth. Seeking help was forbidden, and psychologists speculated that the 10 months alone at sea could drive the sailors mad. The winner was promised money and attention, but everyone knew that the real prize was to become a legend. What no one predicted was how.

A spirited factory worker on a mission. A nerdy manager with a propensity for puzzles. An unexpected adventure. Charmingly British and off-beat, Miscellaneous 0125 is a story about following your dreams, healing past traumas, and the joy of truly being understood.

Great short story
I thought the characters were easy to get to know. The story was interesting and I enjoyed it. I typically like mystery and thrillers but also family dramas on occasion.

Under-developed
It must be challenging for a writer to develop character and sustain a plot within the structure of a short story. I didn’t find this one to be successful as a short story, but the narration was great. Oh well....

Nice short story
Short story about Sinead who wants to get away from the life she's living and what she'll do to get that chance. A story about choices we make and having to live with the results of those choices. Nice short story.

Read
I thought that this was a pretty good quick read or listen LOL. I really enjoyed Holly as a narrator. I have not listened to a huge amount of books as they've been very difficult for me to listen to Because my mind tends to wander if I'm not kept entertained. She did a very good job narrating and Kassandra wrote a very good story.
The best part for me it's free with Prime😁

Missing a lot!
Starts off ok then gets a little better. Then it jumps to 40 years later. Could’ve been a pretty good book had it not skipped 40 years & ended. Glad it was free!

Cinderella Story
The story was kind of blah for me as it reiterated a similar tale to Cinderella except the prince doesn’t end up taking her away and she gets out on her own. There wasn’t enough substance in the story for me to really enjoy it.
