In 2017, Rebecca Schiller turned fantasy to reality and moved her
family to a countryside smallholding for a life of sowing and
growing. But as the first few years go by, and the ever-expanding
list of tasks builds to a cacophony, it becomes clear that this is
not going to be simple. Another January comes in, and with it the
threat of a mental health crisis, and so Rebecca turns to the
garden where she has made her home, and to the women of this
place's past. Here, she stumbles on a wild space of imaginative
leaps, where she begins to uncover the hidden layers of her plot's
history - and of herself. The ground under Rebecca's boots offers
hard lessons as the seasons shift, delivering unflinching glimpses
of damage done to peoples and the planet and regular defeats in her
battle with the slugs. Yet as the New Year returns, carrying a
life-changing diagnosis and then a global pandemic, Rebecca begins
to move forwards with hope: the small holding has become her
anchor, her teacher and her family's shelter. Because when we find
ourselves in an unknown land, we all need something small to hold
on to and a way to keep ourselves earthed.
