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. In the fall of 1968, Melissa Coleman's parents, Eliot and Sue - a handsome, idealistic young couple from well-to-do families - pack a few essentials and abandon the complications of modern reality to carve a farm from the woods....

Heartbreaking but courageous story

If you could sum up This Life Is in Your Hands in three words, what would they be?
family, honest, heartbreaking
What was one of the most memorable moments of This Life Is in Your Hands?
The visions painted of children playing carefree on summer days in rugged Maine.
What about Melissa Coleman’s performance did you like?
It's her story... she lived it, earned the right to write about it, and earned the right to narrate it for us. I can't even imagine the feelings she had while not only writing the book, but then also recording the audio version. I can only hope that she found some peace within the process. To hear it told by anyone else would have felt "false".
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It did make me cry! Not so much the actual story of when the inevitable event happened, but more about how each family member dealt with it afterwards.
