Bestselling author Barbara Kingsolver's first nonfiction narrative will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat. With characteristic poetry and pluck, Kingsolver and her family take you along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only home-grown foods or learn to live without. Their good-humored search yields surprising discoveries en route to a food culture that's better for the neighborhood and also better on the table. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Kingsolver takes you along on her journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which she vows to buy only locally grown foods or learn to live without.
