Local author to hold two events for her new book

    Michele Maingot Cabral will celebrate the launch of her book “Walking Away: Waking up from the American Dream” with an event on Friday, Feb. 13 in Dover-Foxcroft and then Friday, Feb. 20 in Milo.

    “It is the first in a four-part series about leaving behind an ordinary life to live a life closer to nature and self-reliance,” Cabral said. “My husband and I like to say we are the king and queen of do, not doom!”
    “We are finishing up a cool little off-grid log cabin in the woods built with our hands. Our story is being passed from hand to hand, partly because of the handy how-to’s after each chapter. We like to share our mistakes and discoveries.”
    She said, “I will be reading from the book, answering any questions, and signing books at the meet-and-greets.”
    The Feb. 13 event will take place from 3-5 p.m. at the Center Coffee House, and on Feb. 20 Cabral will be at the Milo Free Public Library at 5:30 p.m.
