Barbara Kingsolver brings readers along on her journey away from the industrial food pipeline to a rural life in which she and her family commit to becoming localvores--those who eat only locally grown food. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet.
