Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What’s lost can be found again… Five summers ago, Chelsea Woodridge met, fell in love with, and married ranger Theodore Lapierre in beautiful Bar Harbor. It was perfect, until her father’s manipulations cost her not only the man she loved but their child, spiraling her into a fog that lasted for years. Theo loved Chelsea the instant he saw her and thought the feelings returned. Her visit with her father has him questioning her love when instead of returning, he gets a note of rejection. And several months later, a newborn on his doorstep. With her father now dead, Chelsea returns to Maine, where she’d been happiest. Theo’s presence brings back the pain of the past but seeing the daughter she thought was dead devastates her. How could Theo have thought she didn’t want her own child? More importantly, how could her father have lied to her about her baby? Rebuilding the marriage may take more than either can manage. They shared love once, but Chelsea still holds secrets. Ones that can’t be revealed if she wants to have a life with Theo and their daughter.

Download or read book Creating Acadia National Park written by Ronald Epp and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he is known as the "father of Acadia" and a founder of the oldest national park east of the Mississippi River, George Bucknam Dorr's seminal contributions to the American environmental movement have gone largely unacknowledged. Even today, those who live in or visit the coastal Maine communities surrounding Acadia National Park do not fully realize the scope of his achievements. This biography is the story of Dorr's pioneering role in the establishment and development of a unique conservation model that dovetailed with the evolution of the US National Park Service--which shares its 2016 centennial with Acadia.Raised in Boston as a member of New England's elite merchant class, Dorr adopted Maine's Mount Desert Island as his home and the setting to apply the practical lessons of "Boston Brahmin" philanthropy that tracked back to his maternal grandfather, banker and Harvard College Treasurer Thomas Wren Ward. Yet through his finest work--the creation and management of Acadia National Park--and through his collaborations with park co-founders Charles W. Eliot, John D. Rockefeller Jr., and others--Dorr transformed an elitist social inheritance into an all-consuming commitment to conservation. One hundred years after its founding, this national treasure is visited, enjoyed, and beloved by millions every year.The first biography of George B. Dorr ever written, Creating Acadia National Park: the Biography of George Bucknam Dorr is based on painstaking research both in the US and abroad, including federal, state, and private archives. Newly-discovered and uncatalogued sources are supplemented by in-person interviews. This work will appeal to general and scholarly readers who care about the philanthropic roots of land conservation, those interested in what has been celebrated as "America's Best Idea," and above all, those who know and love Acadia National Park.
