Jack and Mary Jo Perkins left Los Angeles for Bar Harbor at the height of his Emmy-winning career. There, they found a new home in the form of their cabin, affectionately called Moosewood. A former NBC journalist and host of A&E's Biography, Perkins examines the spiritual transformation that marked their time on Bar Island in Finding Moosewood, Finding God. We spoke with him in the days prior to his return to Bar Island, where he was due to record a video promotion for his book.
