But as the years passed, the outside world intruded in various ways: curious fans, after reading her best-selling book \u003cem\u003eWoodswoman\u003c\/em\u003e, tracked her down; land developers arrived; there was air and noise pollution and the damages of acid rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eWoodswoman II\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of the author's decision to retreat farther, a half-mile behind her main cabin, and build a tiny cabin--fashioned after the one in Thoreau's \u003cem\u003eWalden\u003c\/em\u003e--in which she could write and contemplate. In this book (originally published under the title \u003cem\u003eBeyond Black Bear Lake\u003c\/em\u003e) she writes movingly of her life with two German shepherds as companions, of a sustaining relationship with a man as independent as herself, and her renewed bond with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLabastille, Anne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eAnne LaBastille\u003c\/strong\u003e (1933--2011) was a wildlife ecologist, photographer, and the author of more than a dozen books, including the four book \u003cem\u003eWoodswoman\u003c\/em\u003e series.","brand":"W.
