Lit Circle

For my job, i was to find out background information on the author and try and connect her experiences with the book. Barbara Kingsolver was born in Annapolis, Maryland but was raised in Kentucky. This is how she probably got the inspiration for the religious Price family. When she was young, her parents who were medical and public health workers ventured to the Congo. She lived there and took in the experiences that she uses to tell the story of the the American Price family living in Africa. Kingsolver uses her experiences to insert facts that make her story come to life.
