    Summary: 
    Camas Davis was at an unhappy crossroads. A longtime magazine writer and editor in the food world, she'd returned to her home state of Oregon with her boyfriend from New York City to take an appealing job at a Portland lifestyle magazine. But neither job nor boyfriend delivered on her dreams, and in the span of a year, Davis was unemployed, on her own, with nothing to fall back on. Disillusioned by the years shed spent mediating the lives of others for a living, she had no idea what to do next. She did know one thing: She no longer wanted to write about the real thing; she wanted to be the real thing.
    A writer and editor in the food world, Davis was in Oregon with her boyfriend to take an appealing job at a Portland lifestyle magazine. Within a year she was unemployed, on her own, with nothing to fall back on and no idea what to do next. She heard about Kate Hill, an American woman living in Gascony, France who ran a cooking school. Hill introduced her to a family of Gascon pig farmers and butchers who took Davis under their wing, working in their slaughterhouse and cutting room. Forced to question everything she'd believed about life, death, and dinner, Davis learns what it really means to pursue something-- and dedicate your life to it. -- adapted from jacket
