A powerful work of memoir and storytelling that will change the way we think about the natural world. Like many diaspora people of color, Claire Ratinon grew up feeling disconnected from nature. She lived in cities, unwilling to go outside and stuck with the belief that success and status could fill the void of belonging. However, a chance encounter with a rooftop farm was the beginning of a journey that made her reconsider the life she had created and her beliefs about who she should be. Rejuvenated, she began growing food in London before feeling the desire to own a small piece of land to call her own. "Unearthed" recounts her decision to leave the city for rural England - and her first garden - in the hope of forging a path to embracing the natural world and a sense of belonging on her own terms.

"Ratinon's story will change hearts and minds" - Alice Vincent
