Soulcoustic: Rhythms from my family tree

Soulcoustic: Rhythms from my family tree

A lot can change in five generations, and a lot can stay the same. Each generation faces its own challenges—war, loss, heartbreak—and yet the bonds of faith and love keep families together and strong across generations. Soulcoustic is a collection of writings from five generations of the Ford family. These poems, songs, and letters show the blush of young love, a World War II soldier’s longing for home, and a deep, abiding faith that transcends time. By compiling these family writings into one collection, Lena Ford Davis ensures that the Ford/Wilson legacy will endure for generations to come. The music and rhythm of these songs and poems reverberate within the soul. Anyone who reads them will feel the ripples of God’s love and the warmth of passed-down wisdom. God has given this family a gift for language, and in return they sing his praises through sacred song. The Ford/Wilson family has endured war, racism, and deep grief, but each generation has risen above adversity through words and faith. Soulcoustic contains inspiration not just for future generations of Fords/Wilsons but for anyone who knows the sacred power of faith and family.
