Deer Isle holds a special place in my heart. My husband's family, our children's family, come from this rugged outcrop on the coast. Almost an island, once an island, it still feels like one. The people here are quick to assess your character, but once deemed acceptable they'll do anything for you. When I first came here my husband's Uncle, a formidable lobsterman and epic pie baker, gripped my hand in his huge one and told me: "You talk funny!", to which I responded "So do you!" He roared with laughter and that was that. I love these people dearly and so it was such a treat to take Anneli there as part of our Island Project and share with her one of the island's treasures, The Church of the Morning After.
