Love, land, and legacy collide in the hills of St. James.
Years after Carlton’s sudden return to Jamaica, the Wheatley family has tried to rebuild. Clive and Yvette are together again, raising children and reclaiming the land their ancestors once tilled. But peace is fragile in Summervale.
As new life blooms and old wounds linger, secrets begin to stir beneath the soil. Ayana comes back from England with truths that shake the family tree. Junie hides a past passion. And Carlton, once feared and now fading, must face the consequences of his choices.
From the courts of London to the ganja fields of Jamaica, this moving and lyrical tale of family, forgiveness, and faith continues. In the heart of it all stands the land that binds them.
Bitter Soil, Sweet Fruit is a powerful continuation of the Wheatley Family Saga, full of heartache, healing, and hard-won joy.
A story of Black love, generational growth, and the soil we’re rooted in.
