Julie Powell's first book, Julie & Julia, was an immensely popular New York Times Bestselling memoir about personal identity, obsession and food.  Now, she takes readers on another journey of discovery, this time through the world of butchering.  When her marriage to Eric is threatened by an irresistible love affair, Julie looks for distraction by offering herself up as an apprentice at Fleisher’s — a family-owned butcher shop in the Catskills. She hopes to fulfill a long-held desire: to take something apart and turn it into something nurturing and beautiful. The work is tough, physical, and sometimes dangerous — an intense experience, that, like the Julie/Julia Project, forces her to focus both inside and out.
