New from Regal House, Uprooted, building a farm in a memoir of trauma, resilience, and becoming

RALEIGH, N.C. - Sept. 3, 2026 - PRLog -- Regal House Publishing announces its new publication Uprooted by S.B. Long, a writer, farmer, and professor. She lives on a 13-acre working farm in Tennessee with her husband and a menagerie of creatures.

About Uprooted
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 mediation 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.

Praise for Uprooted
I've long marveled at S.B. Long's unsurpassed gift for narrative, brilliantly displayed in her extraordinary new memoir, Uprooted, a tale as powerfully and imaginatively rendered as the very best fiction. Harrowing, heartbreaking, unimaginably candid, often outrageous, and ultimately triumphant, Uprooted does not relax its spell and frisson until its final remarkable sentence. This is a courageous, necessary book by a master storyteller.
—Joseph Bathanti, North Carolina Poet Laureate (2012-2014) & author of Too Glorious to Even Long for on Certain Days

Everything comes from the earth; everything returns to it. In Uprooted, her gorgeous and unflinching memoir of adoption, identity, and healing, S. B. Long digs to reclaim the past all the while tending the soil out of which a new self might emerge. Against the backdrop of sustainable farming in North Carolina and a newly discovered birth family in rural Tennessee, Long weaves a raw, lyrical journey through trauma, resilience, and the search for belonging. Uprooted is a story of fierce honesty and mythic resonance, and, above all else, a story of transformation.
—Mark Powell, author of The Late Rebellion
