2025 IPPY GOLD MEDAL ‘Cover Design’ - Independent Publishers Award
2025 INDIE FINALIST ‘Best Overall Design, non-fiction ‘ - Next Generation Book Awards
This beautifully crafted, multi-award winning, independently published book represents the culmination of the author’s decades of experience as a published writer, photographer, and story-teller. Kevin O’Donnell captures not only the unique light of the Door peninsula’s landscape, but the brilliance of its people. The photographs are complemented with original essays and poems that explore the length and breadth of this unique Great Lake’s peninsula — from tip to tail. From “The Work We Embrace” through to “The Life We Live”, each chapter of Behind The Door: Profiles of a Peninsula gently pulls at the delicate threads that have contributed to the creation and continued evolution of the peninsula’s most uncommon tapestry with flavors as delicious as a perfectly muddled brandy old fashioned.
“Meticulously crafted.”
