<description>This week Jesse talks to a new friend we met at the first Maine Poutinefest, author Paula Grandpre Wood. Paula had a very popular table that year, so of course we wanted to talk to her and learn about her book, The Long Walk Home with the Ceinture Fléchée. In talking about the book they’ll cover the miracle of  the bridge, focus on the history of Trois-Rivières and much more.
