The Vegan Way: 21 Days to a Happier, Healthier Plant-Based Lifestyle That Will Transform Your Home, Your Diet, and You

Jackie Day. St. Martin’s Griffin, $24.99 trade paper (320p) ISBN 978-1-250-08771-3

Activist and first-time author Day, who is passionate about animal welfare, explains everything readers ever wanted to know about living the vegan lifestyle and sprinkles in some appetizing recipes. At an early age, Day realized that she could no longer continue hurting animals by eating them and began her mission of following a way of life that satisfied her ethical principles. Writing in a playful and upbeat fashion, Day guides her readers through a day-by-day approach to living vegan, providing them the incentive to make the switch from eating meat, eggs, and dairy to enjoying plant-based cuisine. If her slew of suggestions—vegan-friendly fast-food restaurants, “cruelty-free” cosmetics, and vegan beer—do not convince, then surely the catalog of vegan-friendly airports and vegan-conscious leisure activities will validate Day’s central claim: that being a vegan is both practical and fun. For those interested in becoming acquainted with “the vegan way,” this book marvelously succeeds. [em]Agent: Steve Troha and Dado Derviskadic, Folio Literary Management. (Oct.) [/em]
