Yumi Fuller left her hometown of Liberty Falls, Idaho, at age fifteen, determined to escape the world of potato farming. Now, twenty-five years later, she returns to confront her dying parents, her estranged best friend, and the complicated past she left behind. However, Liberty Falls has changed, and Yumi quickly finds herself caught in a new kind of battle: a fierce conflict between agribusiness forces and a group of activists known as the Seeds of Resistance, who roam the country in their biofueled camper, The Spudnick, fueled by stolen McDonalds french-fry oil.

Through Ozekis quirky, colorful characters and razor-sharp humor, All Over Creation explores the consequences of corporate life, the globalized world, and the struggle for political and social change. Its a story about seedsliteral and metaphoricaland the possibility of renewal. As Yumi revisits her past and grapples with the complexities of aging, activism, and family, she discovers that the power to change the world can often start with a single, unexpected seed.

Ruth Ozeki, acclaimed author of My Year of Meats and A Tale for the Time Being, weaves a warm and witty tale about agribusiness, environmental activism, and the ties that bind us to our roots.
