Beschreibung

<p><b>With raw honesty and vulnerability, <i>Rowdy Girl</i> illuminates the realities of animal agriculture through tracing the author's journey from a poor upbringing to life as the wife of a Texas cattle rancher.</b> Unable to reconcile the cruel realities of her husband Tommy's business, Renee King-Sonnen begins to question some of society's most basic assumptions about the animals we eat and the food systems we uphold. These questions spark a profound transformation-and a determination to save the very cattle her husband's livelihood depends on.<br><br>The couple's opposing worldviews lead to escalating conflict, pushing their marriage to the brink. Seeking support, King-Sonnen connects with online vegan communities and launches a secret Facebook diary, <i>The Vegan Journal of a Cattle Rancher's Wife</i>. With a growing following, she rallies support for an ambitious plan: buy Tommy's herd, take over the ranch, and transform it into an animal sanctuary. The suspense peaks in December 2014, when Tommy agrees to sell her the cattle for [...]-if she can raise the funds before they're sent to slaughter.<br><br>More than a memoir, <i>Rowdy Girl</i> is a story of spiritual awakening and ethical transformation. It reveals the shared ground between ranchers and vegans-a commitment to compassion, tradition, and sustainability-while challenging the foundations of animal agriculture. Through her deeply personal journey, King-Sonnen invites readers to consider their own relationship with animals, the food they eat, and the possibility of living with greater compassion.</p>
