Historia
Born into a political dynasty, Jenna and Barbara Bush grew up in the public eye. As small children, they watched their grandfather become president; just 12 years later they stood by their father's side when he took the same oath. They spent their college years being trailed by the Secret Service and chased by the paparazzi, with every teenage mistake making national headlines. But the tabloids didn't tell the whole story of these two young women forging their own identities under extraordinary circumstances.

Historia
It’s easy to feel overburdened by life’s demands. Looking out into the world as well as under the roof of our home may cause us to question, “How did we get here? And how will we get through?” Jillana Goble has been there. With honesty, faith, and a dose of humor, her debut memoir, A Love-Stretched Life, chronicles what she's continually learning on the suspension bridge between reality and hope. A mom via foster care, birth, and adoption—in that order—for nearly two decades, Jillana has experienced life’s curveballs.

Dreaming of a "year in Provence" with her mother, Katie urges Helen to move to San Francisco to live with her and Zoe, Katie's teenage daughter.

Jessi Hempel was raised in a seemingly picture-perfect, middle-class American family. But the truth was far from perfect. Her father was constantly away from home, traveling for work, while her stay-at-home mother became increasingly lonely and erratic. Growing up, Jessi and her two siblings struggled to make sense of their family, their world, their changing bodies, and the emotional turmoil each was experiencing. And each, in their own way, was hiding their true self from the world.

Resumen del Editor
My Gift of Now is a collection of memoirs and essays about tragic family loss through two plane crashes; finding love and marriage in middle age; travel and laughter; and issues of living the author sees as she looks around her. The listener will move from tears to laughter to empathy as the author tells her true stories of tragedy beyond comprehension happening twice in one family; of finding the needle in the haystack on a dance floor in her middle-age years; of travel filled with laughter and unforgettable adventures. After two stellar careers, retirement brought a new career as an author published in over 30 anthologies and the freedom to focus on the gift of now.

Historia
When Miss Norma was diagnosed with uterine cancer, she was advised to undergo surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. But instead of confining herself to a hospital bed for what could be her last stay, Norma - newly widowed after nearly seven decades of marriage - rose to her full height of five feet and told her doctor, "I'm 90 years old. I'm hitting the road." Packing what she needed, Norma took off on an unforgettable cross-country journey with three professional nomads - her retired son, Tim; his wife, Ramie; and their standard poodle, Ringo.

Historia
At a time when we mourn public figures and national tragedies with hashtags, where intimate posts about loss go viral and we receive automated birthday reminders for dead friends, it's clear we are navigating new terrain without a road map. Let's face it: Most of us have always had a difficult time talking about death and sharing our grief. We're awkward and uncertain; we avoid, ignore, or even deny feelings of sadness; we offer platitudes; we send sympathy bouquets whittled out of fruit.

Excellent story telling
If you could sum up My Gift of Now: A Collection of Short Memoirs in three words, what would they be?
Gift of Love.
What did you like best about this story?
I love the way that Elynne opens her life and her heart. Each story has a unique personal flavor. It truly is a gift.
What about Elynne Chaplik-Aleskow’s performance did you like?
I love Elynne's soothing voice. She is a pleasure to listen to. She gives her stories the extra dimension of hearing them told as she feels them. Such a revelation. Priceless!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed and I cried. The stories are charming, humorous, and down to earth.
Any additional comments?
You feel you have known Elynne and her family forever. She becomes a dear friend.

A profound work of art that captures the heart!
Would you consider the audio edition of My Gift of Now: A Collection of Short Memoirs to be better than the print version?
They are equal in quality. One enhances the other.
What was one of the most memorable moments of My Gift of Now: A Collection of Short Memoirs?
One of my most memorable moments was when Elynne performed the Holiday Diary in the lodge at the ocean. Former travelers had written nostalgic entries. I felt her mood as she expressed their heart warming and heart wrenching stories. There was empathy in her voice. It seemed I was in the lodge and my heart warmed. I felt her joy when she expressed that she would write in the diary about the love for which she had searched and found in Richard. It made me wish to go there with my husband and write in the Holiday Diary. .
Which scene was your favorite?
I love to laugh! The most humorous scene was when she and Richard took what they thought would be a romantic train ride. I knew the story well but hearing her perform it made me laugh all over again. When Richard said "this track needs work," Elynne laughed uncontrollably in the printed version. As she performed this part her words were dramatic and joyously expressed.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When she performed Life 101 it touched me deeply. I loved her communication life survival skills insights. She spoke of the personal attributes of the mind. It is our place to go if we feel alone. It can lead you through your fears to where you feel safe, and it gives you courage. As she spoke so beautifully I remembered my friend who passed with ALS. All of her muscles stopped functioning, but she still had her brilliant mind. This comforted me in remembering that my friend was aware of my presence.
Any additional comments?
I recommend this audio edition to every reader who has the printed version. They go hand-in-hand. After having read the book... when I heard Elynne perform her inspiring stories, it felt as if she was on stage... and I was sitting on the front row! Absolutely magnificent!

More Than a Joy
Where does My Gift of Now: A Collection of Short Memoirs rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is my first audio book!
What did you like best about this story?
Elynne Chaplik-Aleskow's new audio book version of My Gift of Now us more than a joy!
The Narrator/Author us a born Storyteller. Her velvety, expressive voice infuses each story with warmth, sensitivity, and wisdom.
Which scene was your favorite?
The recounting of the unfathomable tragedies this Storyteller
Suffered at an early age were especially moving. The story of her
Life-long struggle with chocolate struck a loud chord with me!
Her story, The Hat, poignantly written in her book, was even
More powerful in this audio version. Perhaps because this story has personal meaning
For me, it was my favorite. I could feel the young man's dispair and
Frustration. I could also " hear" the rays if hope and
Inspiration shining through her voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. In this frenetic age, reading has almost
Become a luxury. This audio version of My Gift of
Now is the perfect solution! Find your most comfortable chair, turn off the T.V.
And be prepared to fill your senses with some of the most
Inspiring stories you will ever hear.
Any additional comments?
Be sure to purchase this wonderful audio book!

Spices of Life: Delicious, tangy, & way too hot!
Such is the life of this beautifully reflective author. While reading you can taste her rewarding life ever so sweet. Pouring out the tragedies gets so spicy hot the reader can't conceive how one would ever handle the shocking memories. Tangy miracles are scattered about, leaving the reader in wonderment. Loved the 5 star stories and narrative that makes you feel like you have a new friend.
