Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life—vowing that, for one year, they’d only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an enthralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.

“[This] is a book that, without being preachy, makes a solid case for eating locally instead of globally.”
-Richmond Times-Dispatch
“I defy anyone to read this book and walk away from it without gaining at least the desire to change.”
