When Torrey Bates was shot one Saturday evening in December 2021, it signified that life, as he and his family once knew it, would be changed forever. It would take the strength of his wife and 10 children, his rock-solid faith, and a miracle from the Lord to see them through the coming hours as he fought to make sense of what had happened to him. Now, as he reevaluates everything he thought he knew, he is more determined than ever to follow God’s path, which saved him from another one of his life’s missteps, and to listen to his word at every opportunity.

The Wu-Tang Clan are considered hip-hop royalty. Remarkably, none of the founding members have told their story - until now. Here, for the first time, the quiet one speaks. Lamont “U-God” Hawkins was born in Brownsville, New York, in 1970. Raised by a single mother and forced to reckon with the hostile conditions of project life, U-God learned from an early age how to survive. And surviving in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s was no easy task - especially as a young black boy living in some of the city’s most ignored and destitute districts.

More stories from the quirky pen of U.R. Bowie, written expressly for listeners who disdain the dominant modern American insipid genre of "domestic literary fiction."

Germaine Johnson likes suduko, biscuits, maths and Chinese food. She’s less sure about the complexities of social interaction, and her tendency to just say what she thinks often lands her in hot water. Unfortunately, after 'the incident' at Wallace Insurance, she finds herself unemployed. When her cousin suggests a job at the local council, manning the Senior Citizens Helpline, Germaine really doesn’t have any other option than to say yes. It’s still social interaction, but at a safe distance.

Leaving a highly visible job took some courage, but Tracy Pawelski knew it was time. As she looked out on her horizon, her next step crystallized. She would join her 21-year-old daughter on a once-in-a-lifetime walk across Spain called El Camino de Santiago. While Tracy’s trek along the 500 miles of this ancient Catholic pilgrimage began as a mother-daughter adventure, Tracy soon realized this was her Camino, a journey of profoundly personal insight and spiritual growth.

Edwin, ist Einer von uns. Er ist, je nachdem wie er sich fühlt, zwischen fünfunddreißig und sechzig Jahre alt, arbeitet und wohnt in einer Kleinstadt irgendwo in Deutschland.
