Download Ricochet: Two Women War Reporters and a Friendship Under Fire AudioBook Free
When three colleagues die violently during a solo wartime election day in Central America, two feminine journalists, close friends, are hurled into a torrent of change in their personal and professional lives and in their marriage with one another. The writer, bedeviled by stress and thoughts of abandonment, hangs on by her fingernails to confirming while her dear friend "just can't take another picture of an inactive body" and throws herself into educating photography to children who reside in a garbage dump. Big questions silently roil their lives - what's our responsibility to history? To individuals? - until, unexpectedly, they deal with an answer alongside one another whenever a child from the dump should go absent. Mary Jo McConahay is the author of Maya Streets, One Woman's Journey Among the People of the Rainforest. She is an award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker whose coverage of warfare, politics, and international justice issues over three years has appeared in Time, Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, Vogue, Rolling Natural stone, and dozens of other papers and journals. Also a believer in writing "deep travel", weaving local history and voices into narrative, she is the existing Lowell Thomas Travel Journalist of the entire year, a difference considered equivalent to the Pulitzer Reward in the genre. Maya Streets' awards are the Northern California Reserve Prize for Best Nonfiction Reserve, National Geographic Tourist Reserve of the Month, Culture of American Travel Writers Grand Award, Individual Publisher's Prize for Best Travel Article Book, LA BookNews International Reserve Prizes for Best New Nonfiction Reserve, Best Travel Article Reserve, and Best Memoir/Autobiography. This is a short audiobook originally released as an ebook by Shebooks - high quality fiction, memoir, and journalism for girls, by women.
