Patricia Klindienst is a master gardener who also teaches writing at Yale. She brings those two areas of expertise together in her engaging new book, The Earth Knows My Name: Food, Culture, and Sustainability in the Gardens of Ethnic Americans (Beacon). "There is so much in each chapter of this extraordinary book that you might want to grasp it in one large bite, but you can't, for here the world of farm and garden and food takes us to a far deeper place than we're used to going, to a world that is not separate from politics, despair, refuge, beauty, and ultimately the salvation of heart, life, and culture...Patricia Klindienst has given us nothing less than a great gift in The Earth Knows My Name." - Deborah Madison.
