Book Description
Sexy, Fat-paced, and intense, this romantic suspense novel will keep you up all night reading! Riley Marie Finn lives a stolid, conventional life, every detail planned and unexpected and dull. But when her boyfriend dumps her and the school district where she teaches releases her due to budget concerns, Riley’s whole world turns upside down. Jilted and jobless and determined to change her fate, she heads to the Adirondacks in search of summer employment, where she ends up lost. Rescued by a broody forest ranger who directs her to the hamlet of Wanakena, she is hired in place of a woman whose dead body is discovered at the very place Riley appeared. Josh Waylon is a forest ranger haunted by the ghost of his unfaithful wife, the first victim of the Wilderness Strangler one year ago. With a battered heart and a cloud of suspicion hanging over him, he swears off human contact until Riley invades his territory. Broken and desperate and unable to resist their mutual attraction, Riley and Josh join forces to flush out the ‘Wilderness Strangler’ and clear their names. Can their growing feelings for each other heal the damage of their past lives? Can they solve the dual murders before one of them becomes the next victim? J.E. Irvin is a career educator and an award-winning author. Her stories, essays, and poems have appeared in a variety of print and online publications. Happiest when canoeing in the Northwoods or hiking forest paths, Irvin and her husband reside in Springboro, Ohio, where they share their life with two crazy cats, a resident beaver in the pond behind their home, and a variety of wildlife in the prairie to the west.
Subpar Parks
Author: Amber Share
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593185552
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
**A New York Times Bestseller!** Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America’s national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors. Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply "Too cold for me!" Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as "Too spiky!" Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, “Save yourself some money, boil some water at home.” Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

A Paradise For Boys and Girls
Author: Hallie E. Bond
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 9780815608226
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
For over a century children have spent their summers at "sleepaway" camps in the Adirondacks. These camps inspired vivid memories and created an enduring legacy that has come to be a uniquely American tradition. In A Paradise for Boys and Girls: Children’s Camps in the Adirondacks, a complement to the Adirondack museum exhibit of the same name, the authors explore the history of Adirondack children’s camps, their influence on the lives of the campers, and their impact on the communities in which they exist. Drawing on the rich documentary and pictorial evidence gathered from the histories of 331 camps located in the Adirondacks from 1886 to the present, this collection chronicles the changing attitudes about children and childhood. Historian Leslie Paris details social change in "Pink Music: Continuity and Change at Early Adirondack Summer Camps." In the title essay of the book, Hallie Bond offers a history of Adirondack camping from the establishment of Camp Dudley on Lake Champlain in 1892 to the present. Finally, historian Joan Jacobs Brumberg concludes the collection with "A Wiser and Safer Place: The Meaning of Camping During World War II." Lavishly illustrated with historic photographs, the book includes a directory of Adirondack camps, with brief descriptive notes for each of the camps. The photographs and essays in this volume offer readers a richer understanding of this singular region and its powerful connection to childhood.
