Would you listen to The Beginning of Everything again? Why? The Beginning of Everything Audio Book Review Robyn Schneider's The Beginning of Everything is a lyrical, witty, and heart-wrenching novel about how difficult it is to play the part that people expect, and how new beginnings can stem from abrupt and tragic endings. And now he must consider: If one's singular tragedy has already hit, what happens when more misfortune strikes? But as Ezra dives into his new studies, new friendships, and new love, he learns that some people, like books, are easy to misread. Together, Ezra and Cassidy discover flash mobs, buried treasure, and a poodle that might just be the reincarnation of Jay Gatsby. Cassidy is unlike anyone Ezra's ever met - achingly effortless and fiercely intelligent. No longer a front-runner for Homecoming King, Ezra finds himself at the table of misfits, where he encounters new girl Cassidy Thorpe. His particular tragedy waited until he was primed to lose it all: In one spectacular night, a reckless driver shatters Ezra's knee, his athletic career, and his social life. Golden boy Ezra Faulkner believes everyone has a tragedy waiting for them a single encounter after which everything that really matters will happen. Through remarkable characters and impeccable details, Pulitzer Prize–winner Steve Twomey shows how careless decisions and blinkered beliefs gave birth to colossal failure. There were false assumptions and racist ones, misunderstandings, infighting, and clashes between egos. As he fretted, a Japanese spy was counting warships in the harbor and reporting to Tokyo. Besides, the admiral thought Pearl was too shallow for torpedoes he never even put up a barrier. His intelligence had lost track of Japan's biggest aircraft carriers, but assumed they were resting in a port far away. In a small office at Pearl Harbor, overlooking the battleships, the commander of the Pacific Fleet tried to assess whether the threat was real. They thought precautions were being taken, but never checked to be sure. In Washington, DC, in late November 1941, admirals composed the most ominous message in Navy history to warn Hawaii of possible danger-but they wrote it too vaguely. In this "riveting" ( Los Angeles Times) account of the days leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Twomey "infuses a well-known story with suspense" ( The New York Times Book Review), offering a poignant new perspective on the most infamous day in American history.

The louder sound of the recording caught notice of the Grammy voters as well, and they nominated “Broken Horses” for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song, both of which Carlile won prior to the broadcast. Full of searing guitar and lyrical references to retribution, the song crescendoed with Carlile pushing her voice to a piercing scream in the final vamp.

With a sweet introduction by her wife Catherine Shepherd and their two children, Carlile led off the guitar-heavy song flanked by her longtime collaborators, twin brothers Phil and Tim Hanseroth. Broken Horses opens among the dirt roads and double-wide trailers of rural Washington state, where Carlile lived with her proud but impoverished family.

He finished the rest of his doughnut with the even keel of the veteran sheriff he was. Hutchins looked out at the placid morning calm of Douglas Lake, thought about the body they'd inevitably pull out and the stupidity of the waste.
