It all comes from the root… and Grover McQuiston was the root of it all.

Strung-out 1970s NY punk rocker crash-lands in a sleepy Southern town, raising Cain and resurrecting skeletons his iron-fisted grandfather is determined to keep buried. As his traumatized family and world spiral out of control, Grover learns nothing, absolutely nothing stays buried forever.

Not even blood.

Sweeping from the grime of the 1970s New York punk rock scene to the truck-scarred roads of the rural South, Rooted is an evocative, wry and beautifully-written historical fiction novel that captures the grit of Southern storytelling at its finest.
