Downeast

Five Maine Girls and the Unseen Story of Rural America

By: Gigi Georges

In Downeast, Gigi Georges follows five girls as they come of age in one of the most challenging and geographically isolated regions on the Eastern seaboard. Their stories reveal surprising truths about rural America and offer hope for its future. “It’s almost impossible not to care about these fierce young women and cheer for their hard-won successes” (Kirkus) in this “heartfelt portrait” and “worthy tribute” (Publishers Weekly). Nestled in Maine’s far northeast corner, Washington County sits an hour’s drive from the heart of famed and bustling Acadia National Park. Yet it’s a world away. For Willow, Vivian, Mckenna, Audrey, and Josie—five teenage girls caught between tradition and transformation in this remote region—it is home. Downeast follows their journeys of heartbreak and hope in uncertain times, creating a nuanced and unique portrait of rural America with women at its center. Willow lives in the shadow of an abusive, drug-addicted father and searches for stability through photography and love. Vivian, a gifted writer, feels stifled by her church and town, and struggles to break free without severing family ties. Mckenna is a softball pitching phenom whose passion is the lobster-fishing she learned at her father’s knee. Audrey is a beloved high school basketball star who earns a coveted college scholarship but questions her chosen path. Josie, a Yale-bound valedictorian, is determined to take the world by storm. All five girls know the pain and joy of life in a region whose rugged beauty and stoicism mask dwindling populations, vanishing job opportunities, and pervasive opioid addiction. As the girls reach adulthood, they discover that despite significant challenges, there is much to celebrate in “the valley of the overlooked.” Their stories remind us of the value of timeless ideals: strength of family and community, reverence for nature’s rule, dignity in cracked hands and muddied shoes, and the enduring power of home. Revealed through the eyes of Willow, Vivian, Mckenna, Audrey, and Josie, Downeast is based on four years of intimate reporting. The result is a beautifully rendered, emotionally startling, and vital book. Downeast will break readers’ hearts yet offer them hope, providing answers to what the future may hold for rural America.

THE END OF THE EARTH : THE PERPETUAL PILGRIM BOOK FIVE

By: Dr. Guylene Gigi Tree

Many people have heard of the Camino de Santiago, the network of pilgrim trails in Spain that leads to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, northwest Spain. Just about ninety kilometers west is a point on the Iberian Peninsula, the furthest western point on the European continent, or the end of the earth. The famous pilgrim trails that crisscross Europe leading to these points are called Caminos. Some people have walked them. Even more have considered walking one or more. Still others, fascinated by the adventure, cannot walk a Camino but enjoy hearing stories of others who have done so. If you find yourself in any of these three categories, you will enjoy this book. Book five in this "The End of the Earth" series continues the stories. There is much more to walking a Camino than just walking. It is the beginning of the journey of a lifetime. There is so much to learn about yourself, your relations, your life, and your world. It all begins with that first step. But be aware, there is no end. Once you begin your Camino, you are a pilgrim for life, a Perpetual Pilgrim.
