Book Overview
Of Embers and Roots
Book One of The Firekeeper's Legacy
In the shadowed hills of the early American colonies, Lena-a young woman born of Cherokee and Scottish blood-fights to build a life in a world that denies her very existence. Raised on the strength of her mother's hands and the songs of ancestors whispered through cedar trees, Lena walks the knife's edge between two identities, desperate to hold onto the land, the stories, and the people who have shaped her.
When her husband Daniel is called to fight in a war for a country that doesn't recognize them, Lena is left to birth and raise their children in a world stitched with grief, silence, and quiet violence. As she endures isolation, the loss of her mother, and Daniel's return as a wounded and fractured man, Lena must hold her family together with nothing but firelight and will.
Of Embers and Roots is a lyrical and raw tale of identity, generational trauma, motherhood, and the kind of love that chooses to stay even when broken. It is the first chapter in a multigenerational legacy carried not through documents or bloodlines, but through lullabies, gardens, and the sacred act of keeping memory alive.
