"Long before the Lost Kitchen became a worldwide dining destination, with every seating filled the day the reservation book opens each spring, Erin French was a girl roaming barefoot on a twenty-five-acre farm, a teenager falling in love with food while working the line at her dad's diner, and a young woman finding her calling as a professional chef at her tiny restaurant tucked into a nineteenth-century mill. This singular memoir ... invites readers to Erin's corner of her beloved Maine to share the real person behind the 'girl from Freedom' fairy tale and the not so picture-perfect struggles that have taken every ounce of her strength to overcome and that make Erin's life triumphant. In Finding Freedom, Erin opens up about the challenges, stumbles, and victories that have led her to the exact place she was always meant to be, telling stories of multiple rock bottoms, of darkness and anxiety, of survival as a jobless single mother, of pills that promised release but delivered addiction, of a man who seemed to offer salvation but in the end ripped away her very sense of self. And of the beautiful son who was her guiding light as she slowly rebuilt her personal and culinary life around the solace she found in food--as a source of comfort, as a sense of place, as a way of bringing goodness into the world."--,Provided by publisher.
