What started out as a matter of curiosity slowly evolved into
an eight-year labor of love for Doris Provencher Faucher of Biddeford,
and the result is something that has provided area Franco-Americans with
a sense of history and pride.
After retiring from a 17-year teaching career at Biddeford High
School in 1988, Faucher found herself with plenty of spare time on her
hands. Her four children were all grown, and she finally had an opportunity
to begin a project that she had been thinking about for several years.
With plenty of encouragement from her husband and friends, Doris
sat down at her computer and began weaving the story of Sébastien
and Marguerite Provencher, a young peasant couple who ventured from their
village to begin a new life in Canada.
Parts of the story have been fictionalized but many of the characters
and events are real. In fact, Doris has traced her own genealogical
roots back more than 10 generations, discovering that she is a direct descendant
of Sébastien Provencher. After eight years of meticulous research,
Doris has discovered much about her heritage and she wanted to share what
she had learned with others who share her ethnic background.
The result?
A novel entitled Le Québécois: The Virgin Forest.
The 255-page story, set in the mid 1600s, details the struggles and dreams
of French peasants who risked everything in order to make a new life for
themselves in a wilderness that was untamed and full of hope.
Faced with the prospects of living in a country dominated by
a feudal system, newlyweds Sébastian and Marguerite choose instead
to make the long and treacherous journey across the North Atlantic into
the unknown regions of Canada. The story of the Provencher family is similar
to the stories shared by thousands of others who were lured to the new
continent with promises of indentured servitude and the prospects of owning
their own land; a dream that would never be realized in Louis XIV’s France.
From its opening pages, Faucher’s novel explores the trials and
tribulations of the early settlers in the St. Lawrence River valley area
with an amazing historical accuracy and a penchant for stunning details.
The story is compelling in its themes, winding its way through 15 years
as Faucher slowly reveals the determination and fortitude of her ancestors.
For her part, Doris says she is happy that the book is finally
finished, but she is planning to begin work soon on a series of sequels
that will continue to trace the history of Franco Americans who emigrated
into Maine from Canada.
Where can people find the book? It’s now available at the Bookport
in Kennebunkport and at Nonesuch Books (formerly Bookland) in Saco and
South Portland."

Margaret Cox Murray, editor, says, "The opportunity to share some of Maine's tremendous talent in the form of Reflections on Maine is not only a celebration of Maine, but also a celebration of fine Maine writers and artists." Pointing to a quote on the book's back cover by poet and contributor Rod Farmer, "...it is good to place one's sense of place in a place of good sense...," Murray adds, "that's Maine, in a nutshell.
Reflections on Maine is available for $9.95 plus
$1.50 shipping/handling per book, for shipping. Also, Maine residents please
pay sales tax at 5.5%. For more information, contact Rainbow Press at P.O.

Celia C. Risen began interviewing Jewish residents in Maine in connection with the English as a Second Language (ESL) courses she was teaching. The stories she heard sparked her interest, so she further pursued the history of Jewish immigrants to Maine. The interconnections between the Jewish and Franco-American cultures is part of this historically important book. This book fills in the gap of the knowledge about the Jewish immigrants who came to Maine during the late 1800s, early 1900s.
