Bloomsbury presents Rowdy Girl, written and read by Renée King-Sonnen.

With raw honesty and vulnerability, Rowdy Girl illuminates the realities of animal agriculture through tracing the author’s journey from a poor upbringing to life as the wife of a Texas cattle rancher.

Unable to reconcile the cruel realities of her husband Tommy’s business, Renee King-Sonnen begins to question some of society’s most basic assumptions about the animals we eat and the food systems we uphold. These questions spark a profound transformation—and a determination to save the very cattle her husband’s livelihood depends on.

The couple’s opposing worldviews lead to escalating conflict, pushing their marriage to the brink. Seeking support, King-Sonnen connects with online vegan communities and launches a secret Facebook diary, The Vegan Journal of a Cattle Rancher’s Wife. With a growing following, she rallies support for an ambitious plan: buy Tommy’s herd, take over the ranch, and transform it into an animal sanctuary. The suspense peaks in December 2014, when Tommy agrees to sell her the cattle for $30,000—if she can raise the funds before they’re sent to slaughter.

More than a memoir, Rowdy Girl is a story of spiritual awakening and ethical transformation. It reveals the shared ground between ranchers and vegans—a commitment to compassion, tradition, and sustainability—while challenging the foundations of animal agriculture. Through her deeply personal journey, King-Sonnen invites readers to consider their own relationship with animals, the food they eat, and the possibility of living with greater compassion.©2026 Renée King-Sonnen (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Kritikerstimmen

If you’re looking for insight into the thought processes and story of a vegan (and religious) person, then this is a great book to dip into as you walk through King-Sonnen’s transition and future activism with the vegan farm sanctuary ... A book that’s potent enough to make you look at your hamburger in a new light.
Animal lovers will love this book; meat-eaters may find a game changer here.
It is not merely a memoir about becoming vegan. It is a memoir about what happens when conscience enters the room, pulls up a chair, and refuses to leave.
