Animal Vegetable Miracle
I started the new book for our book discussion. Barbara Kingsolver is an author of fiction and nonfiction. This is a nonfiction book about leaving her home in Arizona to come east and live off the land with her family. Her husband had rented his family farm in Appalachia while they had lived in both locations for many years. They would spend the summer in the East and head back to Arizona for their daughters' schooling. A three year drought helped this family make this decision to move east where the rain will help grow their crops. As a biology scientist, Kingsolver is heavy into conservation and environmental issues. She calls herself a political writer, and with global warming becoming an even greater problem by the minute, this is an important book.
