Synopsis


A compelling story of murder, betrayal, and the secrets of the past…

Georgina, known as Geo, is a 30-year-old rising executive when her world comes crashing down. Her high school boyfriend has been identified and arrested for a series of serial murders, including Angela, Geo's best friend in high school. Angela disappeared without a trace at 16 and her body has just been found. Now Geo is under arrest for helping her then-boyfriend cover it up. And it's one of her other close friends from high school, Kaiser Brody, who arrests her.
While Geo is sent to prison for her part, Calvin escapes from custody and is on the run. Geo, now thirty-five, is about to be released from prison to try and start over. But someone has started killing people and dumping their bodies in her old neighborhood, with some of the markers of the missing Sweetbay Strangler—her old boyfriend Calvin. Is these killings some kind of message from Calvin? Are they some of revenge? Is she herself now in danger?
Everything turns on what really happened that tragic night back when Geo and Angela were high schoolers. Everyone thinks they know the truth, but there are dark secrets buried deep within other secrets, and it may be too late for anyone to survive the truth.
Jar of Hearts is a compelling edge-of-your-seat thriller that grabs readers from the very beginning and holds them rapt, as the truth of both the past and the present is skillfully unfolded, until the very last page.

Synopsis

This program includes an author's note read by Michael Wolff.

The first nine months of Donald Trump's term were stormy, outrageous—and absolutely mesmerizing. Now, thanks to his deep access to the West Wing, best-selling author Michael Wolff tells the riveting story of how Trump launched a tenure as volatile and fiery as the man himself.

In this explosive audiobook, Wolff provides a wealth of new details about the chaos in the Oval Office. Among the revelations:

• What President Trump's staff really thinks of him• What inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama• Why FBI director James Comey was really fired• Why chief strategist Steve Bannon and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner couldn't be in the same room• Who is really directing the Trump administration's strategy in the wake of Bannon's firing• What the secret to communicating with Trump is• What the Trump administration has in common with the movie The Producers

Never before has a presidency so divided the American people. Brilliantly reported and astoundingly fresh, Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury shows listeners how and why Donald Trump has become the king of discord and disunion.

Like the 33,000 people on Goodreads who could resist reading this book? I can imagine that the Trump White House would allow Mr. Wolff access if, for no other reason than hubris, I can also imagine the outrage the Trump White House felt when the book published.

Trump is not the transformative figure that is going to move this country forward; I am saddened every day to read a newspaper, listen to a podcast, or read an article only to learn of the outlandish behavior of the 45th POTUS. The book, which might be considered gossip and remembers not all gossip is false, has chronicled the disarray that has surrounded the White House since Trump January 20, 2017.
