A review by readtotheend
Good Dirt by Charmaine Wilkerson

emotional mysterious reflective medium-paced
I really enjoyed diving into Ebby Freeman's family history , learning about the very special heirloom jar that was passed down for six generations. The jar's history includes Ebby's great-great-grandfather, Willis Freeman, who was an enslaved man. We go between past and present timelines and this book explores themes of grief, trauma, racism and heritage. I loved Black Cake by Wilkerson and was really happy to hear her author's voice in this book as well. She has a way of really bringing historical fiction to life. If you love historical fiction and family stories, you should pick this one up! It was equally great on audio and in print.
