Erin French tells a very raw, honest, and deeply thoughtful story in "Finding Freedom." The reader is taken through her journeys, struggles, and absolute rock bottom experiences in life, as Erin paints a richly detailed and emotionally vivid canvas of her story through the pages of her memoir.
I greatly admire her strength to go through the toxic relationships, battle addiction and mental health concerns, and emerge on the other side, still motivated to keep going and eventually go on to start the famous and exclusive "Lost Kitchen" restaurant. Erin then went on to revisit her experiences in vivid detail when writing this memoir, which was probably not an easy or comfortable thing to do. I leave finishing her story inspired and motivated in my own life and in awe of this strong, incredible woman.
Side note: I was so happy for her mom when she finalized her divorce and found herself and happiness!
I am taking off one star for the long, lengthy paragraphs that were sometimes difficult to follow and sometimes made awkward for picking the book up again. Perhaps it is her writing style, but it was a bit unusual for a memoir-style book.
