Yarmouth, Maine (September 2009) — Some 35 years ago, Jane Freeberg listened to a friend’s story about one exceptional Christmas she had as a child in a small New England fishing village. And she never forgot it. Now, she shares it all in “The Scallop Christmas,” the story of how a young girl comes to understand what is truly important. Beautifully illustrated by Astrid Sheckels, the book will be available in October from Maine-based Islandport Press.

Ms. Freeberg will celebrate the release of her new book with a launch party from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 10, at the Georgetown Historical Society. She will sign copies of the book, which will be available for sale, and light refreshments will be available. The historical society is located at 20 Bay Point Road.
