Finding Freedom by Erin French Book Summary

**New York Times Bestseller**

From Erin French, owner of the critically acclaimed The Lost Kitchen, a TIME world dining destination, a life-affirming memoir about survival, renewal, and finding a community to lift her up

Long before The Lost Kitchen became a world dining destination with every seating filled the day the reservation book opens each spring, Erin French was a girl roaming barefoot on a 25-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 19th century mill. This singular memoir—a classic American story—invites readers to Erin's corner of her beloved Maine to share the real person behind the “girl from Freedom” fairytale, 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 to the challenges, stumbles, and victories that have led her to the exact place she was ever 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, a sense of place, as a way of bringing goodness into the world. Erin’s experiences with deep loss and abiding hope, told with both honesty and humor, will resonate with women everywhere who are determined to find their voices, create community, grow stronger and discover their best-selves despite seemingly impossible odds. Set against the backdrop of rural Maine and its lushly intense, bountiful seasons, Erin reveals the passion and courage needed to invent oneself anew, and the poignant, timeless connections between food and generosity, renewal and freedom.

Wonderful!!. Wonderful!!

AMAZING BOOK. Beautiful story of the life of Erin French, who has been squeezed by life like a lump of coal, to become a precious DIAMOND. Highly recommend both the book and the Lost Kitchen restaurant!

Great Book!. A wonderful story of redemption, of grace, and of true beauty. From a southerner who lived in Camden Maine for a summer and tended the grounds at what was once called “Marion Village” - Maine’s most “modern” motel… er, but while the billboards remained, it was anything but modern when I worked there. I get her, I get the restaurant, I get her fighting spirit. But it occurs to me that she’s somehow discounted God in all of this, when I believe it was God who brought her out of where she was. She’s a fantastic writer who does an excellent job describing food so well that you can taste it. However, she’s still a work in progress (as we all are). For as many times as she uses the word “I”, “me”, “my”, etc., she never comes across as anything could have even been remotely her fault. In complex family matters and schisms, I’ve never seen a case where it was all completely one side where 100% of the fault lies. I know what it’s like to have a crappy parent or two, but it doesn’t seem to me as if she can envision the life of her father who had to take in running an all-consuming business, two daughters, and a wife all the time with no skills to communicate. Her ex is made out to sound like a douche, and he probably was, but she seemingly does little to understand what his internal struggles were - but there’s a lesson in here for all of you boys and girls out there - if you’re dating a divorced person, always, always, always find a way to interview their ex - you can save a lot of time that way! I hope this lady prospers and continues to do well!

Thank you. Erin, you’re an absolute inspiration!! Thank you for sharing your story.

Inspirational Erin French. I strongly encourage you to read this book. Erin, being so honest with her plight - It’s so inspirational. I laughed, I cried, and I didn’t want the stories to end. Do yourself a favor and read this book. My prayers are that I am blessed to be able to visit the Lost Kitchen (Maybe next year). PS: Resilience, Perseverance and Strength are words I feel that best describe Erin.

Amazing. Simply a sublime, deeply loving book. Couldn’t put it down!

Excellent. Great read. One of the best memoirs I’ve read.

Inspiring and full of grit. An incredible memoir from the chef and owner of The Lost Kitchen. Erin’s story is a true story of resilience and passion. Highly recommend!!

An honest life. An amazing story

The Lost Kitchen. Truly a great read! This coming from a male! Who has seen his share of adversity! Great book!!!!

A Terrific Read!. I couldn’t put this book down. It is a riveting read. Even though I was aware of Erin’s success, you keep rooting for her as she navigates her way through pain and hardships no one should endure. The book and all of her achievements are a triumph!

Lovely. A Maine girl comes full circle! What a beautiful story!
