About the Book
Hilborn’s new memoir Restoring Eden, draws us into life on her family fruit farm in the Piedmont of North Carolina. With lyrical nature writing, she shows us a vibrant world filled with wildlife, native plants, food, and flower gardens. When she discovers a wetland that is the cause for the poisoning of her land and the loss of the animals, Hilborn searches to find the killer. What she learned affects all of us. Part investigative journalism, part memoir, and part popular science, Hilborn ultimately offers hope for a secure food future and shows how change is possible.
