Synopsis

What are the defining issues of a generation? From a park bench in downtown Washington, DC, to rural Alabama, a young couple find the best and worst in themselves as they face economic catastrophe. National unemployment has reached a record high—except in Washington. The euro currency no longer exists; the student loan crisis has reached its tipping point. Government regulation fueled by corporate interest has shackled the oldest of civilized human activity—agriculture. Martin and Sara persevere as they deal with family, farming and getting by in the Second Great Depression. In a nation where citizens are free to choose, what happens when there are no choices?

About this title

About the Author

R.P. Thead's debut novel, "The Sovereign Soil," is a story of "family, farming and getting by in the Second Great Depression" as the characters deal with the defining issues of a generation. Although political in nature, "The Sovereign Soil" eschews the partisan anger and bitterness that has come to define our nation's politics and Washington, DC, where the author lives with his wife and two cats, and where the novel begins.
