Marcia Schuyler by Grace Livingston Hill audiobook.
Genre: romance
Set in early 19th century upstate New York, Marcia Schuyler begins on the brink of a society wedding that is meant to secure the Schuyler family's standing. When Marcia's beautiful, willful sister Kate vanishes the night before the ceremony, leaving behind scandal and a shattered groom, the family's desperate solution falls to the quiet, dutiful younger sister. Marcia steps into Kate's place and marries David Spafford, the man she has secretly admired from afar, knowing his heart is still fixed on the bride who betrayed him. In a new home where every neighbor watches, Marcia tries to live in the shadow of another woman's trousseau, reputation, and expectations while fending off cold judgments, meddling relatives, and the dangerous attention of those who sense her vulnerability. Her one steady ally is Miranda Griscomb, a blunt, freckled neighbor girl whose fierce loyalty becomes both shield and surprise friendship. As old wounds reopen and Kate's choices echo back into the Spaffords' lives, Marcia must decide what love, honor, and self-respect will require of her.

The Finding of Jasper Holt by Grace Livingston Hill audiobook.
Genre: romance
When Jean Grayson boards a westbound train to visit her sister, she expects a quiet journey and a warm family welcome. Instead, a strange encounter leaves her carrying a wallet tied to a man she has never met, and a midnight disaster throws her into a terrifying fight for survival. The one person who pulls her from danger is Jasper Holt, a capable, guarded stranger whose name sparks whispers everywhere it is spoken. In the small community Jean is headed toward, Jasper's reputation has already been tried and condemned, and the people closest to Jean have their own reasons to keep him shut out of decent society. Yet Jean cannot forget the man who saved her life, nor ignore the unsettling sense that she has been drawn into a larger conflict involving stolen papers, fierce business rivalry, and a scheme that could ruin Jasper for good. As Jasper struggles to reclaim what was taken from him and prove the truth of his character, Jean must decide whether to trust the town's judgment or the quiet evidence of courage, sacrifice, and changing hearts.

A Daily Rate by Grace Livingston Hill audiobook.
Genre: romance
Celia Murray is a lonely young woman trying to make an honest life for herself in Philadelphia, earning a modest wage and renting a room in a bleak boardinghouse where the food is poor and the atmosphere is worse. Separated from Aunt Hannah - the loving, steady presence who once made her childhood feel like home - Celia clings to her faith while wondering whether anything in the city can ever feel warm or safe. Then an unexpected inheritance drops into her lap, and Celia dares to imagine a different future. Instead of chasing comfort for herself alone, she sends for Aunt Hannah and pours her new resources into a bold experiment: transforming the shabby boardinghouse into a true home, one clean room, nourishing meal, and quiet act of kindness at a time. As the house begins to change, so do the lives inside it, and Celia discovers that ministry is often made of ordinary days and imperfect people. But new hope brings new risks - jealousy, misunderstanding, and the ache of wanting more than she feels she deserves. When Horace Stafford, a compassionate mission-chapel minister, steps into their orbit, Celia must confront the secret longing she has tried to bury and decide what trust really costs.

The Greek View of Life by Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson audiobook.
Genre: philosophy
In The Greek View of Life, classicist Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson offers a lucid, wide-ranging portrait of how the ancient Greeks understood the world and their place within it. Rather than a chronicle of battles and rulers, this book asks a deeper question: what kind of life did Greek culture imagine was worth living? Dickinson guides listeners through the Greeks' attitudes toward nature and the divine, the demands of the city-state, the meaning of freedom and citizenship, and the competing claims of pleasure, duty, and self-control. Along the way, he draws on Greek literature, philosophy, and art to reveal a civilization that prized clarity of thought, balance, and measure, yet never ignored the shadow of suffering and limitation. Written with an eye for comparison, the book invites modern readers to test their own assumptions against a society that helped shape Western ideas of reason, beauty, politics, and education. The result is both an introduction to Greek ideals and a reflective meditation on what culture can teach us about character, community, and the art of living.

Criminal man - according to the classification of Cesare Lombroso by Gina Lombroso audiobook.
Genre: science
In this influential work of early criminology, Gina Lombroso presents and organizes Cesare Lombroso's provocative attempt to explain crime through classification. Drawing on medical observation, anthropology, and statistics, the book argues that criminal behavior is not a single phenomenon but a spectrum of distinct types, from the so-called born criminal and the habitual offender to the criminal by passion and the mentally ill delinquent. Lombroso's method is concrete and case-driven: he compares bodies, faces, and habits; catalogs physical and psychological 'stigmata'; and links crime to heredity, epilepsy, insanity, alcoholism, and social environment. Along the way, the reader is taken into courtrooms, prisons, and asylums through examples meant to show how different offenders think, act, and relapse. Whether approached as a serious scientific proposal, a historical artifact, or a cautionary tale about bias in measurement, the book raises enduring questions about free will, responsibility, and prevention: if crime has causes that can be studied, can society replace pure punishment with diagnosis, treatment, and reform?
