On a hot July night on Cape Cod when Adrienne was 14, her mother, Malabar, woke her at midnight with five simple words that would set the course of both of their lives for years to come: Ben Souther just kissed me. Adrienne instantly became her mother’s confidante and helpmate, blossoming in the sudden light of her attention, and from then on, Malabar came to rely on her daughter to help orchestrate what would become an epic affair with her husband’s closest friend.

Story
I’ve been in this life for 50 years, been trying to work out its riddle for 42, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last 35. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me.

This unique story is written specifically to help you drift off, with no clear beginning, middle, or end, so you don’t need to follow the details too closely. In it, you’ll hear Nick Jonas describe how Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams reached legendary status, and how they shaped the three components of a perfect swing.
What is the perfect swing? You might be asleep before you find out.
This title is part of a collection of audio experiences created to deliver your best sleep during this difficult time. While we’re giving this away for free, we’ll also be donating meals daily through Newark Working Kitchens so those in need and first responders don’t go to bed hungry.

Didn't Put Me To Sleep, But Was A Great Listen
I unfortunately know what the perfect swing is now. The delivery and tone had me perfectly relaxed for the full duration, so while I didn't fall asleep, I did rest and learn more than I ever wanted to know about swinging a baseball bat.

A Visualization Delight
Truly enjoyable, incredibly descriptive and inspiring story. Narrator could have taken slightly more time, however, nailed it with his grit and clear passion for the subject. Relaxing bedtime story to listen to at first, and (for a non-super-sports-fan) by the end, had me standing in my bedroom at 2am, demonstrating the exact positioning and visualizing MY "perfect swing". Wonderful little listen👌

Outstanding narration by Nick Jonas!
I have never cared about sports but no one can deny superhuman talent in any capacity! This story is interesting and Nick Jonas' perfect timber, pitch and velvety teddy bear tones skillfully narrating baseball stats will lull you to another dimension in your mind through space and time into this seemingly impossible lucid but sleeping state where you eventually realize you've somehow awoke feeling more rested than you think. Fantastic. Watch him play Nate Kulina on Tv show Kingdom. A natural talent.

Chock-full-o-facts and better than melatonin!
These bedtime stories are kinda interesting. First, if you really listen to the words, they take synaptic leaps that are reminiscent of James Joyce. And, if you love the topic (which I do), then you try to listen tp the baseball facts, but also want to go to sleep. Then, you realize that it's the magic combination of an unorthodox storyline + an incredible voice performance by Nick Jonas, that creates a winning formula to put you to sleep. I felt rested when I woke up and am definitely going to try more of these.

Hi there, I couldn't name a Jonas Brothers song but this story is such a great nighttime drift off sort of thing and Nick Jonas does have an exceptional voice. I wish I could say I loved the whole thing but I fell asleep probably 4 minutes in, so tonight I will set my sleeptimer to 10 minutes. New bedtime ritual!
