Fiction fans may know Barbara Kingsolver for best-sellers like "Animal Dreams" and "The Poisonwood Bible". But she's also a trained biologist, dedicated to understanding the human relationship with our environment. She joins Kojo to reflect on the year her family vowed to eat only locally-produced food, and ended up learning a lot about flowering peanut plants, turkey mating, and themselves.
Barbara Kingsolver, author, "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life" (Harper Collins)
