  The story of heartbreak to triumph in the wake of a tragedy. Their first date in college was a U2 concert and after that Lauren and Jack Grandcolas were inseparable. He was mesmerized by her sweetness, fierce intelligence and eyes that were as blue and alive as the ocean. They married and settled in San Francisco, each pursuing their dreams in the business world. After a decade of trying, Lauren finally got pregnant at the age of thirty-eight. On September 6, 2001, she flew to New Jersey—her beloved Little Grandma had died and following the funeral Lauren shared the joyous news of her pregnancy to lift her family’s spirits. Flying home to Jack on September 11th, she arrived at Newark airport early and walked on to a flight for which she hadn’t been ticketed: United 93. During that terrifying flight, Lauren left a calm and reassuring voice mail for Jack which remains a testament to her courage and selfless love, even in the face of her own mortality.Like a River to the Sea is a story of love overcoming loss. In this moving memoir, Jack Grandcolas brings to life his college sweetheart while taking the reader through his long journey to make peace with the loss of Lauren and their unborn child. Jack is honest about the depth of his despair and his battles with depression, PTSI, and heavy drinking. As he digs himself out of the deepest hole imaginable, Jack learns universal truths that will help anyone confronted with tragedy.Like a River to the Sea is also a deeply personal look at an event of historical importance. Jack takes us inside the White House to meet with President Bush and to the precipice of a still-smoldering hole in the earth outside of Shanksville, Penn. The book goes aboard United 93 in its final minutes, when this brave collection of Americans fought to retake control of the plane, ultimately preventing the hijackers from completing their mission and becoming the first heroes in the war against terror.As with Jack’s life, Like a River to the Sea is defined by the boundless depths of human love. Eighteen years after losing his wife and their unborn baby, Jack finally remarried, and his new bride so honors the love between him and Lauren that her wedding ring includes stones that Lauren once wore on her finger. This is the magic of Like A River To The Sea, which begins with heartbreak but becomes a story about the triumph of the human spirit.

  MAGNIFICENT COUNTRY ESTATES The Duchy of Cornwall Estate – Established 1337 The summary of this audiobook is as follows: The Duchy of Cornwall, established in 1337 by King Edward III, is England’s oldest duchy, created to provide financial independence for the heir to the throne. Originally comprising lands in Cornwall and beyond, it has evolved from a medieval feudal estate into a modern, sustainable enterprise under Prince William, the 25th Duke. Historical Foundations The Duchy was founded through a royal charter granting Edward, the Black Prince, extensive lands and administrative rights. Over centuries, it survived political turmoil, including the English Civil War, adapting to economic and social changes while maintaining its core purpose. Evolution & Leadership Key figures like Prince Albert (Queen Victoria’s consort) and Prince Charles (Duke from 1952–2022) modernized the estate. Charles championed organic farming, sustainable architecture (Poundbury), and environmental stewardship. Today, Prince William focuses on social impact, mental health support for farmers, and homelessness initiatives. 
  Modern Estate & Operations The Duchy spans 135,000 acres across 20 counties, including: Dartmoor’s uplands (50% of holdings) Poundbury & Nansledan (sustainable urban developments) The Isles of Scilly (conservation and tourism) Revenue (£23.6M in 2023-24) funds royal duties, community projects, and environmental programs. The Duchy operates as a private estate with crown exemptions but voluntarily pays income tax. Sustainability & Social Impact The Duchy leads in: Regenerative agriculture (Focus Farms initiative) Net-zero goals by 2032 (renewable energy, carbon sequestration) Affordable housing and mental health support for rural communities Future Vision By its 700th anniversary (2037), the Duchy aims to balance tradition with innovation, serving as a model for sustainable land management and community development while supporting the monarchy’s future.
