Synopsis
Remember me.
Jean Dickey dreams of doing something important for women's rights. She failed in 1970, but now she's in her seventies and has a second chance. Her granddaughter, Dani, arrives to help her start a civil rights center on Chicago's Lower West Side. But when a cold-case crime on the center's deteriorating property is connected to Jean, and Jean talks about visits from her grandmother's ghost, Dani faces a difficult decision about Jean's future.
Eighteenth and Western is upmarket book club fiction. It tells the stories of three women, each in a different era-1920, 1970, and present-day-struggling for rights and fulfillment. Their situations are dissimilar, but their lives are parallel. Eighteenth and Western is, at its core, an account of grandmothers and granddaughters and the strength, suffering, and resilience passed down through generations.
What is "buying direct"? Where you spend your money matters.
Buying direct means purchasing an audiobook directly from its creator, instead of from a large, third-party company that often takes the bulk of the money and leaves the creator with pennies.
We'll let you in on a little secret: Audiobooks are expensive to make, usually costing between $3,000-6,000, and authors typically receive less than one dollar per sale from large retail companies. That's why the Empire is taking action.
100% of the profits from sales on this site go directly to the creator.
Think of it as "shopping local" for audiobooks. ❤
How does this work? We partner with an independent content delivery service to fulfill purchases made here. Why? Because they take zero royalties from sales, which allows us to pass 100% of your purchase on to the audiobook creator.
We know this means downloading one more listening app, but we hope you'll be willing to do so since it's for such a great reason. This also allows us to offer you better deals on titles, without shortchanging anyone.
When your purchase is complete, you'll receive an email from them with instructions on how to access your audiobook. Please remember to check spam/junk folders.
We wouldn't recommend this service or this app to you if we didn't already love it! It's ad-free, available worldwide, and has all of the important features that most listeners prioritize, including:
✓ Speed controls
✓ Bookmarking
✓ Timers
✓ Chapter navigation
✓ Dark mode
