Over the course of one long day on a seemingly endless country road, a hitchhiker listens to the sad, desperate circumstances that her driver has found himself in--and becomes witness to his determined effort to free himself from a terrible trap of isolation and regret. The only weapon he has is a truly powerful one: his ever-wandering mind and its awesome ability to show him worlds no one else can see.

Through Russian Snows by G. A. Henty (1832 - 1902) LibriVox There are few campaigns that, either in point of the immense scale upon which it was undertaken, the completeness of its failure, or the enormous loss of life entailed, appeal to the imagination in so great a degree as that of Napoleon against Russia. Fortunately, we have in the narratives of Sir Robert Wilson, British commissioner with the Russian army, and of Count Segur, who was upon Napoleon's staff, minute descriptions of the events as seen by eye-witnesses, and besides these the campaign has been treated fully by various military writers. I have as usual avoided going into details of horrors and of acts of cruelty and ferocity on both sides, surpassing anything in modern warfare, and have given a mere outline of the operations, with a full account of the stern fight at Smolensk and the terrible struggle at Borodino. I would warn those of my readers who may turn to any of the military works for a further history of the campaign, that the spelling of Russian places and names varies Those Who Aunt The BabyMakers Auntie Mags (Dana Quercioli) and Aunt Pat (Colleen Doyle) see the world through aunt-colored glasses. And if you don’t know what that means, Mags and Pat will talk at you until you get it. From dismantling the “fun uncle” narrative, to current events and how they pertain to aunts, to debating whether Marshall’s or Kohl’s is the superior place to buy decent luggage, you’ll gain deeper insight and appreciation for the aunts in your life.
