Bloodroot - Amy Greene

Adark and riveting story of the legacies-of magic and madness, faith and secrets, passion and loss-that haunt one family across the generations.

Myra Lamb is a wild girl with mysterious, haint blue eyes who grows up on remote Bloodroot Mountain.

But when John Odom tries to tame Myra, it sparks a shocking disaster, ripping lives apart.

"If Wuthering Heights had been set in southern Appalachia, it might have taken place on Bloodroot Mountain.... Brooding, dark and beautifully imagined." --The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
