Downeast: Five Maine Girls and the Unseen Story of Rural America

In her new book, Georges explores the far-reaching impact of urban-rural divide and offers an optimistic view of rural America. Challenging stereotypes about rural “hopelessness,” Downeast documents the lives of five resilient young women who not only survive their challenging upbringings, but thrive — and choose to stay, building their hometowns towards a brighter future.
