The Soil Remembers: The Dirt They Come With (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798278932987)

In Poteet, Texas, even the sweetest strawberries are grown dirty.

Every spring, the strawberry competition brings pride, money, and tradition to Poteet. For generations, winning has meant more than a ribbon-it has meant power. No one questions the results. No one looks too closely at how the same families always seem to rise to the top.

Sahira Cailleach does.

When cracks begin to form beneath the town's most cherished institution, Sahira finds herself pulled into a web of corruption that reaches far beyond prize tables and auction floors. Old alliances, dangerous secrets, and forces better left buried in the soil begin to surface. As influence tightens its grip on the town, Sahira must navigate a world where appearances lie, loyalty is weaponized, and truth comes at a cost.

But some roots run deeper than anyone realizes-and some people carry gifts that were never meant to stay hidden.

Blending small-town intrigue, supernatural tension, and razor-sharp social commentary, The Dirt They Come With is a dark, cinematic tale of power, legacy, and the price of fairness in a place where corruption grows as naturally as the fruit.

Because in Poteet, what's buried always finds a way to bloom.
