Poignant memoir from an accomplished media veteran with a television presence familiar to millions of viewers, who cast off a shallow public lifestyle in order to seek out a private, deeper, more meaningful life—includes a photo insert.
Media veteran Jack Perkins gave up his life’s work and found his life’s purpose.
For twenty-five years, millions of Americans watched Jack Perkins on NBC News as a correspondent, commentator and anchorman. People were familiar with his face, his bearing and his rich, reassuring bass on A&E’s award-winning series Biography.
Yet at the age of fifty-two, at the height of his career, Jack Perkins disappeared from the public eye and moved with his wife, Mary Jo, to a bare-necessities cabin on an uninhabited island off the coast of Maine. This isolated home they came to call “Moosewood” was the setting for Jack and Mary Jo’s spiritual awakening.
In their new, quiet and difficult life, Jack began to rethink everything he thought he knew. For thirteen years they endured—and learned to enjoy—snowbound winters, shuttling supplies from the mainland, testing themselves and their marriage, and discovering the rewards of a close-to-nature life, acknowledging that the hand guiding their blessed new lives was the hand of a gracious God who knew them long before they acknowledged him.
