Audio book description
We've got to go. Now. It's early morning and Danny's mother is at his bedside, urging him to get up. They're on the run from Chris, his mother's boyfriend, a violent man who beats them both up, and won't let them go. Chris pursues Danny and his mother from London to the north, where they take refuge with Danny's grandparents. But even there, nothing is safe. Danny is conspicuous as the only mixed-race boy in their small community, and with the ever-present threat of discovery, he has to learn how to live continually on the edge. A tense and chilling story to which the chase gives terrific drama, The Edge shows the depth of character, and the understanding of the predicaments of children today, that gives Alan Gibbons his special quality.

Audio book description
Shelley Stewart is president of one of Alabama's largest advertising agencies, the co-owner of Birmingham's WATV-AM, and a well-known radio personality. In The Road South, Stewart delivers what Booklist calls, "an inspiring memoir that, despite its grim beginnings, is at times as lively and vivacious as radio patter". Spirited and striking, this is the story of a man who struggled against a society divided by color. Stewart recalls the death of his mother at his father's hands and the damage of abuse from other relatives. "I hope my story will do nothing if not inspire. If I can overcome the hurdles of poverty, abuse, and racism, then so can anyone." Shelley Stewart's memoir is full of hope and promise, even in the midst of the most dire situations. Dion Graham's thoughtful narration gives additional power to the emotions found in The Road South .
