A moving and thought provoking tale of ancestry and the soil that connects us. It delivers a powerful message.
Many thanks to Greenleaf Book Group and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

First off, I would like to thank NetGalley and Greenleaf Book Group Press for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this book.

Ordinary Soil is no ordinary story.

At first, I struggled with what was happening in the story, but once I caught up things just started to fall into place. And boy did it hit and hut hard. This story is ripe with feelings and there was always a lump in my throat.

I'm honored to have been one of the first to read it in its complexity.

Watch and read as generations pass before your eyes, taking you on the path of the male members if this ancient family.

And under the feet of those generations is the dirt that carries them, the dirt that the first generation made vows over, vows that would haunt the following men that worked the earth.

Fantastic read. Wusj I could read it again, but it's been archived. I will have to buy it.

Alex Woodard does a great job in writing Ordinary Soil and was hooked from the description. It had everything that I was looking for in the genre and the characters were strongly written.
