This book is a collection of candid stories told by 15 people who joined the return to the soil movement. Instead of talking about the movement only in terms of making a living out of farming, they introduce what it is really like to be back to the soil, and how they contribute to the agricultural community. Reading about subsistence lives of those who returned to the soil, readers will find an opportunity for the spiritual awakening which urban dwellers tend to miss as they live in a capitalistic society, not to mention of reflection on the importance of life and what happiness is really about
