Product Description
by Brandy C. Adams (Author)
Root & Flame is a soulful novel of healing, heartbreak, and becoming. Saffronia James has spent a lifetime searching for freedom-from the weight of generational trauma, the confines of a controlling marriage, and the seductive pull of a younger lover who promises dreams he can't deliver. Set against the lush, humid backdrop of Impasse, Louisiana, her story unfolds in the quiet spaces between breath and survival, motherhood and loss, addiction and spiritual awakening.
As she rebuilds her life one fragile step at a time, Saffronia learns that real freedom isn't found in running-it's rooted in stillness. And sometimes, the only way to bloom is to burn away everything that no longer serves you.
Root & Flame is a meditation on resilience, the complicated beauty of Black womanhood, and the power of planting yourself-one breath, one pose, one petal at a time.
Brandy C. Adams is a writer, yoga teacher, and survivor of life's most difficult lessons. Born with a restless spirit and a poet's heart, she uses the power of storytelling to explore themes of trauma, resilience, motherhood, and spiritual healing. A proud military veteran and advocate for survivors of domestic violence, Brandy draws from her own experiences to create deeply personal and transformative narratives.
When she's not writing or guiding breathwork classes, you can find her nurturing her garden, sipping ginger tea, and reminding anyone who will listen: You are the root and the flower. One breath, one pose, one petal at a time.
