Freedom Lessons - A Novel Audiobook Download by Eileen Harrison Sanchez


In 2014, I learned that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in my philosophy, so I started a journey of discovery. Starting with the first chapter of The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, I began to read the classics: King Solomon's Proverbs, The Tale of Genji, and One Thousand and One Nights. Within months, my bookshelf was filled with new autobiographies and memoirs by authors who had broken free from their chains.
