Local author Melissa Coleman will discuss her memoir, “This Life Is In Your Hands: One Dream, Sixty Acres, And a Family’s Heartbreak,” during the Freeport Conservation Trust’s annual meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Freeport Community Center, 53 Depot St.
The book focuses on Coleman’s childhood on a farm with her parents, Eliot and Sue Coleman, pioneers of the back-to-the-land movement. Her presentation “will make a ‘growing local’ connection between Cape Rosier in the 1970s and FCT’s current project to permanently protect Winter Hill Farm,” a release from the trust states.
