At age forty-nine, Eileen Flanagan had an aching feeling that she wasn t living up to her potential or her youthful ideals. Drowning in e-mail and stuff she didn t need, the simple Peace Corps life of her twenties was a distant memory, and the African country where she d taught was in crisis, struggling to adapt to global warming. Renewable: One Woman s Search for Simplicity, Faithfulness, and Hope is the story of a spiritual writer and mother of two who returned alone to southern Africa to try to help change the world and unexpectedly found the courage to change her life."
