Silver Metal, Audiobook Children's/Young Adult Fiction (2023)

Award-winning novel based on a true story. Etienne's family is fleeing La Rochelle in the dead of night to avoid arrest, but his cousin has offered him a safe haven. Now he must choose - stay and pursue his dream of becoming a musketeer or leave and face an uncertain destiny. Both choices are fraught with dangers. Either way his life will never be the same.

In October 1660, Etienne Gayneau rushes through the cobblestone streets of La Rochelle, France, to meet his cousin at the harbor. A ship carrying King Louis XIV's elite musketeers is docking. This story traces one boy’s journey from France to America as he finds the courage to save himself and those he loves. 

Etienne Gayneau's family is fleeing La Rochelle in the dead of night to avoid his father’s certain arrest in the morning, but his Catholic cousin has offered him a safe haven. Now he must choose. If he leaves with his family, he will have to abandon his only true friend along with everything he has ever known, and he never become a musketeer to face an unknown furture. If he stays, he will never see his parents and sisters again. Both choices are fraught with dangers and uncertainty. One thing is sure – his life will never be the same again.

“The vivid story of a boy discovering his value on the perilous voyage of early American settlers.” – BookLife Review

“… a twisting, suspense-filled, highly accessible tale as the young boy attempts to protect his family from the many dangers they face. A skillfully plotted, coming-of-age story with a memorable cast of characters. Highly recommended!” The Wishing Shelf

A beautiful coming of age story about a young boy who flees religious persecution, leaving everything behind but his faith.” – Readers’ Choice Awards

One of the themes that stand out in Thrown to the Wind by Amanda. M. Cetas is the role of religion in society. The dynamics of power and control also become apparent, and one can't help but question to what extent governments should get involved in religion and the role of religious leaders in interpreting the scriptures. This thought-provoking work also aroused my curiosity about history and Calvinism. I cannot wait to read more about the Huguenots. The characters were well-developed, and the author subtly ensured that the narrative was effective in passing on the intended message without alienating anyone. All the events and places were vividly described, which helped to capture my imagination. I also loved the steady narration, which kept me intrigued.” – Readers’ Favorites Review

Useful, simple room divider
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
All the pieces were accounted for, and some even had extra pieces, maybe just in case they need changing. It was a bit like putting together a piece of IKEA furniture, though I went slower than usual so as not to make any mistakes. It wasn’t too hard to put together myself, and helps give my studio apt a feeling of space and privacy for my bed. I only wish it had a lovely Japanese design on it, but it does amazingly seem to match the wall color.

Great design, very useful, and resolves the issue of unusable outlets. Great buy!
Color: White, Size: 5FT (2 USB-C)
This is soooooo very cool to use. It allows me to use it in so many other sockets that I could never really use due to their location. It makes it easy to swivel the plug to the position needed. It is sturdy, a good price, and the cord length is just right. I will carry one in each of my backpacks & computer bags, as well as it will replace most of my extensions. The weight was right so that I could put it in my backpacks and having all of the outlets makes it very useful.
