SUMMARY:Author reading and signing: Uprooted: A Memoir of Belonging and Becoming by Sarah Beth Long
DESCRIPTION: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. \nJoin us for this very special book reading and signing by author Sarah Long! She will have her new book Uprooted available for purchase as well. \nHow to register: No registration needed\, drop-in \nCost: Food/beverage purchases encouraged to support teahouse nonprofit space. Sarah will have books for purchase if you would like to take one home. \nLocation: Living room/Fireplace\, 1st floor \nDr. Sarah Long is an author\, full professor at Appalachian State University\, and therapeutic writing consultant. Her award-winning memoir Uprooted: A Memoir of Belonging and Becoming is a lyrical meditation on family\, identity\, inherited trauma\, and the strength it takes to grow something new from broken ground. She is the founder of the Writing Cure (www.thewritingcure.com) and offers customized expressive and therapeutic writing courses and consulting to human-centered organizations and individuals struggling with the harder parts of being human. \n
