The Tin Ticket takes us to the dawn of the nineteenth century and into the lives of Agnes McMillan, whose defiance and resilience carried her to a far more dramatic rebellion; Agnes's best friend Janet Houston, who rescued her from the Glasgow wynds and was also transported to Van Diemen's Land; Ludlow Tedder, forced to choose just one of her four children to accompany her to the other side of the world; Bridget Mulligan, who gave birth to a line of powerful women stretching to the present day.

A unique and incredible story of love, human endurance, and willpower. How a 17-year-old girl survived the horrors of six Nazi concentration camps.

E. J. Jernigan's memoir offers listeners a fascinating glimpse of life as an enlisted man aboard the USS Saufley, one of the most highly decorated destroyers of World War II. It is a rarely told story of the sailors who fought the war from boiler rooms, after-steering spaces, radio shacks, and other gritty places that keep a warship going. For the author, it was a world of strong emotions and quick reactions, where men had to adapt and grow if they were to survive.

I glanced behind me and saw my husband being detained. The guards interrogated him and took his photo as the flashbulbs illuminated his face. The moment felt like an eternity as they searched Pe's body from head to toe. And then, he was forced to sign yet another confession. Looking on, I held my breath in anticipation as my 5-year-old son asked, "Are they going to let us go?" Nita Tin, born in Rangoon, Burma, and descended from nobility was raised in an opulent lifestyle. But as her country came under the control of a ruthless military dictator, her whole life changed.

While still a young boy, Robb White built his first boat, hewn from the tin roof of an abandoned chicken coop in the backyard. Today, without any formal training, White constructs some of the most sought-after wooden boats around. In How to Build a Tin Canoe, this Southern raconteur and self-taught expert wooden-boat builder recounts tall tales of a life lived on the water, from his childhood exploring the Gulf of Mexico to growing up - or not really growing up - to share his accrued wisdom with others.

Three Sisters in a Tin House is the chilling story of three little girls - Julie, Kristine, and Carrie - who survived the unimaginable and witnessed the unthinkable. Their mother worked hard to keep clothes on their backs and a roof over their heads, but their abusive, alcoholic father worked even harder at making all their lives miserable. But he wasn’t the only negative force that brought terror into their home: a ghostly presence seemed determined to keep the girls’ lives off-balance, turning even the calmest moments in the home into episodes of pure horror.

En dag beslutter Ida Tin, at hun vil bytte sit trygge liv i København med lejlighed og venner ud med en anden slags liv: En dogmetilværelse med færre elementer, færre ting og mindre støj. Ida Tin tager alene til USA, hvor hun vil rejse let med sit telt og sin motorcykel og sove under stjernerne i ørkenen. Hun vil øve sig i at være alene med sig selv og træne sin modighedsmuskel. Men fra dag 1 udfordres hendes projekt: Hun møder en mand, hun forelsker sig vildt i, og står pludselig over for valg, der i den grad kræver en veltrænet modighedsmuskel.

"Tine har evnen, men ikke viljen." Sådan lød skudsmålet i Tine Aurvig-Huggenbergers karakterbog. Et udsagn, hun gennem hele livet har sat sig for at bevise, de tog fejl i. "VILJEN ER ALT" er en bog om at rejse sig fra det værst tænkelige udgangspunkt. Fra en barndom fuld af vold og svigt, over Tvind og på egne ben som 16-årig, og en opstigning fra pædagogmedhjælper til de inderste cirkler af velfærdssamfundets magtrum.
