After Trump's 2016 election, a woman starts a regenerative farm in the Appalachian Mountains--an act of resistance against environmental collapse. But when her engagement unravels under the weight of undiagnosed bipolar disorder and generational trauma, the solitude meant to fuel her activism becomes a crucible for everything she's spent years avoiding. A DNA test revealing biological siblings sends her deep into the mountain hollers, chasing family secrets and long-lost kin. What she finds is Georgina Mae--her birth mother--whose struggles with addiction and survival echo her own. As she pieces together the past, she must confront the truth: some reunions carry a cost, and some answers are buried with those no longer here to give them. Interwoven with myth and memory, Uprooted is a lyrical meditation on family, identity, inherited trauma, and the strength it takes to grow something new from broken ground. Uprooted was shortlisted for the prestigious Bridport Prize.
