Listen Later

Delighted to bring you our first non-fiction book review in the series. My guest Laura is a long time friend, she suggested this book because she is just as obsessed as I am with gardening and homesteading. Laura is a tech entrepreneur that is always serving incredibly creative solutions to the world's problems. Her company Give inKind is a fast growing platform that helps people help their friends and family through illness, big life transitions, and death, even if they can't reach them physically, which is all of us right now. 

Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; A Year of Food Life is a biography of the year that Barbara and her family pledged to eat only what they could grow or source from their county in rural Virginia. It is a delightful collection of essays written by Barbara, her teenage daughter, and her husband covering everything from the science and impact of food production in America to recipes for Asparagus and Eggplant. Beautiful and enchanting prose ensue. 

Enjoy!
