Souls of the Soil (American Waldron Book Series)

“Souls of the Soil” is one tale within another; a contemporary novel converges with well-researched historical fiction. The story is driven by an actual murder in New York in the year 1756 during the French and Indian War and the discovery of a local family cemetery plot centuries later. But Gloria Waldron Hukle’s final slice of her “American Waldron Book Series” opens long before blood drips from the blade of a sharpened rusty bayonet and mingles with an unknown future. After living in Arizona for decades, Tom Carey, an attorney, unexpectedly finds himself back where he was born and raised - the Empire State - specifically Upstate New York. Whatever he remembered about the old days that occasionally kept him awake at night have disappeared. Well, almost everything. After he picks up the rental car at the Albany airport, thoughts of the hours of the last day of his father's life linger as he heads north toward the lands his Dutch ancestors settled. The lives of two sets of fathers and sons, all four of whom share the same DNA, crisscross between centuries in this last of the four book series that began with “Manhattan: Seeds of the Big Apple" and continued with "Threads - An American Tapestry" and "The Diary of a Northern Moon". “Souls of the Soil” opens in the year 1679 as a badly burnt, disheartened Dutch immigrant farmer living on Papscanee Island near Albany, laments his loss of everything..As the fire smolders, the angry immigrant wonders how he can go forward. Thus begins the never-ending quest for happiness and meaning, the trek continuing many centuries and generations later in 2014 with the reconciliation of family members brought together by the unexpected death of a close friend.
