They told him he was a corpse, forgotten in the soil of his village. He chose to become a seed.

From the unforgiving red earth of Bokonyinge village, a boy is born into a legacy of sorrow. Poisoned by the envy that killed his mother and abandoned by a father lost to grief, Carlos Onyinge George is left in the care of his grandmother, Rosa-a woman whose own life is a war against poverty.

His childhood becomes a harrowing odyssey of survival. He faces brutal beatings from a cruel stepmother, the gnawing hunger of the streets, and the terrifying threat of mob justice. He lives as a beggar, a thief, and a ghost in the concrete jungles of Nairobi and the harsh paradise of Mombasa. Each time the world tries to bury him, a flicker of defiance-and the unexpected kindness of strangers-digs him back up.

The Soil That Tried To Bury Me is a raw and unflinching inspirational memoir of a true story of resilience. It is a powerful Christian testimony of how faith can be the one light in the darkest of nights. This profound journey of overcoming adversity traces Carlos's path from a boy who couldn't spell his name to a man building a legacy, proving that our deepest pains can become the foundation for our greatest purpose.
