Melissa Coleman :: Author :: This Life Is in Your HandsWHAT A GREAT BOOK...
if anyone is looking for a amazing book that you cant put down-
Set on a rugged coastal homestead during the 1970s,
This Life Is in Your Hands introduces a superb young writer driven by the need to uncover the truth of a childhood tragedy and connect anew with the beauty and vitality of the back-to-the land ideal that shaped her early years.
this is what i wrote on her facebook page
OMG.... i felt like i was reading about my own childhood..BUT not quite..
I was so moved by your writting, your beautiful story telling- and the way that you captured it all and put it into such an amazing memoire... I immediatly told my mom- dad, sister, friends to read it because it moved me so much..my heart just connected and ached for you all- as a mom, and a daughter- i empathasixed with everyone..and ehen i read about that the guy who did the burt and I stoires was at your place- i even more was freaking out b/c my father (who had a very similar upbringing as your dad and mom) tells me those funny stores with his nose plugged ll the time "bert and i..." just so many parallels to my upbringing- except ours was in vermont at the end of a dirt road and eventually accepted some modern advances- such as a washing machiene- and one day- maybe 10 - 15 years later- even HEAT-
anyway- i wont go on and on
I just wantes to let you know how amazined i was by your book- how beautiful writen it was- how i thought you did such an amaziog job of telling your story. I would love to know how everyone is now
