One day while passing through the library, I saw the book assigned to us for class. When checking it out, the librarian kept talking about her experience listening to it on audio cds and quickly convinced me to check those out instead. Each portion of the book is read by a different family member which reminds the "listener" that the project was a group effort.
Barbara begins by explaining her family's past and how she met her current husband. She lists reason for her distress with their past diet in Arizona. The most memorable being the poor quality of water availible. She and her girls decide to move across the nation to a location where they vacationed each summer to live with her husband. The family announces that they will only eat what they can buy locally or grow themselves. Each family member begins to write (besides the youngest girl) about their experience. Barbara's is the main story and is full of descriptive language as well as beautifully crafted examples.
