Travel just a few miles beyond Acadia National Park and you will find a little known and seldom visited patchwork of quaint fishing villages, rocky coastlines, wild blueberry fields, and vast stretches of forestland reaching all the way to the Canadian border, a hundred miles away. Beyond Acadia: Exploring the Bold Coast of Down East Maine is a travel guide that brings together, for the first time, the amazing opportunities to enjoy a day or a week in Down East Maine, leaving the crowds and traffic of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island behind. Here you will find trails on The Bold Coast overlooking cliffs that plunge a hundred feet to the crashing surf below, quiet country roads winding through the forest, picturesque villages, art galleries, breweries, wineries, farm stands, campgrounds and inns. What you won’t find are t-shirt shops, traffic jams, or overcrowded hiking trails. Beyond Acadia is an engaging and informative guide to this relatively undiscovered area east of Ellsworth and Winter Harbor, stretching to the Canadian border. Compelling photos, clear maps and an easy to understand format will make the book indispensable for people who long to take their Maine experience “beyond Acadia,” both literally and figuratively.

They meet strange creatures, brave the forces of nature, and grapple with their own worst fears. Will they find the sun, or will they find something more?

Although Beyond Acadia reads as a memoir, fiction interweaves Joseph Guillaume's thoughts, fears, aspirations, interpretations, moods, and perceptions. Historical events' times and settings are very close, if not exact, to actual happenings. Real and imaginary places, fabricated and altered names, invented characters and those based on the living or dead stream the passages and embellish the stories. Bill Boudreau's novel, Redemption Island, makes many references to sequences and narratives in this book.
