Louise Gray Bücher

Uns ist wichtig zu wissen, woher das Fleisch kommt, das auf unserem Teller liegt – aber wissen wir auch, wie das Tier starb? Louise Gray begibt sich auf die Suche nach einer Antwort: Sie beschließt, ein Jahr lang nur noch Fleisch von Tieren zu essen, die sie selbst getötet und zerlegt hat. Ihr Vorhaben führt sie aufs Land, sie beginnt, Austern zu knacken und Fische zu fangen, lernt schießen, geht auf die Jagd. Sie recherchiert über Industriefleisch und erkundet alternative Foodkonzepte. Das größte Tier, das sie erlegt, ist ein Rothirsch. Im Augenblick des Schusses kreisen ihre Gedanken um Verantwortung, Erwachsenwerden und die Beziehung zu ihrem Vater. Ihr Selbstversuch wird zu einer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Leben, dem Sterben und der eigenen Moral.

Eight-year-old Izzy is more curious, playful, and clumsy than her serious, grown-up sister Carrie. In fact, Izzy is much more like Gran, an eccentric scientist who has a house full of weird and wonderful pets. But when one of Gran's experiments backfires, Izzy discovers that she has the ability to become invisible! That is, unless Perky the parrot is perched on her shoulder, or she has one of his feathers safely stowed in her pocket. Yikes! While Gran searches for an antidote, Izzy explores her invisibility--to her and Perky's amusement--but Mom, Dad and Carrie aren't impressed. Can Izzy prove that she is using her invisibility to help those around her, and regain her sister's trust?

The narrative blends memoir and academic research to reveal how the miraculous intersects with everyday life, showcasing a God who is accessible to everyone, regardless of faith. It highlights the transformative nature of divine encounters in the ordinary, emphasizing God's presence in the lives of all people, not just the faithful elite. By intertwining contemporary experiences with biblical themes, the book illustrates the boundless possibilities that arise when the ordinary meets the extraordinary, inviting readers to explore their own connection to the divine.
