Bloodroot is at once a moving exploration of familial love and the story of an incendiary romance that consumes everyone in its path: Myra, a wild young girl with mysterious eyes who grows up on remote Bloodroot Mountain; her grandmother who protects Myra and passes down "the touch" that bewitches people and animals alike; Myra's children who must reckon with all they inherited from their mother; and John Odom, the young man who tries to tame Myra. A stunning debut novel about legacies - of magic and madness, faith and secrets, passion and heartbreak - from a natural-born storyteller.
