This spring Erin French published her memoir, Finding Freedom, about the years that led to the founding of her renowned restaurant, The Lost Kitchen, in Freedom, Maine. At first, she said, “I felt too young to be saying that I had a memoir,” but she came to recognize that, “actually, a lot has happened in a short period of time.”Not all of what happened in those years was good or easy, but it all made her who she is today. Erin grew up in Freedom, often working for her dad at his diner in Belfast.
