Suddenly, the Cider Didn't Taste So Good: Adventures of a Game Warden in Maine

Retired Maine Game Warden John Ford has seen it all. He's been shot at by desperate prison escapees, been outwitted by wily trappers, and rescued scores of animals. As a tenacious warden, he always was willing to spend the time needed to nab violators of the state's fish and game laws. At the same time, he wasn't a heartless, go-by-the-book enforcer; he usually had a good quip ready when he slipped the handcuffs on a violator, and he wasn't above accepting a lesson learned as sufficient penalty for breaking the law. Ford is also a gifted storyteller, and he writes of his adventures in Suddenly, the Cider Didn't Taste So Good, a collection of true tales, some serious, some humorous, and all heartwarming.
