Dix écrivains ont accepté l’invitation lancée par Geneviève Lefebvre : participer à la Traversée de la Gaspésie. Une plongée hors zone de confort librement consentie. Car si l’appel des montagnes gaspésiennes parvient chaque année à séduire près de deux cents adeptes prêts à se lancer dans l’aventure, celle-ci n’a rien d’une sinécure. Chacun a tôt fait de se heurter à ses limites physiques et psychologiques. Les sommets se méritent, bobos et blessures sont légion, découragement et fatigue ne sont jamais bien loin. Mais c’est sans compter la magie des lieux, la bonté légendaire des Gaspésiens, le prodigieux charisme de Claudine Roy, la fondatrice des Traversées, et un saisissant effet de groupe. Les confidences aidant, on trouve son second souffle, on se découvre de nouveaux amis, de nouvelles passions, on est emporté par l’extase. Et par la beauté somptueuse des paysages, qui, souvent, impose le silence. Chaque récit, chaque nouvelle et chaque réflexion de ce recueil exprime avec générosité, humour ou autodérision une expérience déterminante, tout en contrastes. Il y aura un avant et un après.
