FINALIST: Audies, Narration Author(s) - 2008
Annotations:
In her first full-length nonfiction narrative, bestselling author Kingsolver reveals an old truth: you are what you eat. Unabridged. 9 CDs.
Publisher's Remarks:
Hang on for the ride: with characteristic poetry and pluck, Barbara Kingsolver and her family sweep readers along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Their good-humored search yields surprising discoveries about turkey sex life and overly zealous zucchini plants, en route to a food culture that's better for the neighborhood and also better on the table. 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.
