Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, Barbara Kingsolver (Harper Perennial, 2008)
Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, this book tells the story of how one family was changed by one year of deliberately eating food produced in the place where they live.
Barbara wrote the central narrative; Steven’s sidebars dig deeper into various aspects of food-production science and industry; Camille’s brief essays offer a nineteen-year-old’s perspective on the local-food project, plus nutritional information, meal plans and recipes.
