Marie-Antoinette Micheli holds a master's degree in sustainability science and global change, as well as a bachelor's degree in geosciences, political science, and environmental science. She is very active with the European institutions in promoting sustainable, pesticide-free agriculture in Europe, and is aware of the serious ecological issues arising from our everyday consumption. In this autobiographical account, she reveals the obstacles we face and suggests ways of overcoming them. Following the after-effects of a serious accident she suffered at the age of eleven, she overcame several handicaps and resolutely believes in the regeneration of the planet.
As a child, the author firmly believed that goodness was the force driving people and the world around her. Deeply connected to nature and the essence of existence, she constantly pushed herself to excel - both in school and in sports. But the summer she turned eleven, everything changed.
