My new hero, heroine, is Barbara Kingsolver. When she was young, her mother told her, "You won't find Betty Crocker in the Congo". Her life reads like a novel: childhood experiences in the wilds of Africa, PHD research studies about the social life of termites, to a novel, "The Poisonwood Bible", about life in the Congo. Her book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life" follows her family through the first year of an experiment.
