Root & Flame is a soulful novel of healing, heartbreak, and becoming. Saffronia James has spent a lifetime searching for freedom—from the weight of generational trauma, the confines of a controlling marriage, and the seductive pull of a younger lover who promises dreams he can’t deliver.
Set against the lush, humid backdrop of Impasse, Louisiana, her story unfolds in the quiet spaces between breath and survival, motherhood and loss, addiction and spiritual awakening.
As she rebuilds her life one fragile step at a time, Saffronia learns that real freedom isn’t found in running—it’s rooted in stillness. And sometimes, the only way to bloom is to burn away everything that no longer serves you.
Root & Flame is a meditation on resilience, the complicated beauty of Black womanhood, and the power of planting yourself—one breath, one pose, one petal at a time.
