Blue Nights by Joan Didion

Joan Didion's Blue Nights is not the audiobook to listen to if you're already feeling down.  Picking up where The Year of Magical Thinking left off, Didion explores her daughter's death and her own struggle with grief.  The Wall Street Journal provides a good reason to listen to it:

"Yet, with her poignant descriptions of a much-loved little girl who grew up to be a troubled but still cherished woman, Ms. Didion has created something luminous amid her self-recrimination and sorrow. It's her final gift to her daughter—one that only she could give."
