“Ordinary Soil brings to haunting life the desperate realities of
the American heartland but also offers a glimpse into a better future ... a
call to action for all of us.” — WOODY HARRELSON
Haunted by a shadow from the past, a young farmer attempts suicide beneath a rotting burial elm, unearthing a dark ancestral history. But deep beneath the diseased generational roots lies a powerful secret — one that could save both the man and the land.
Review
Alex Woodard has written a sweeping novel with a transfixing narrative.
I was amazed at the depth of feelings I felt for the characters. The author captured the spirit of his characters effortlessly.
It is clear authenticity was an important goal of the author, and Woodard hit the mark in descriptions of everything in the story from things that might seem trivial to the big things.
This was a wonderful depiction of history and easy to get lost in. The narrators voice was soothing.
