Efe and Sam have been best friends since before they were married. To an outside eye, they have a relationship most can only dream of.
But behind closed doors, Sam wants to start a family, while Efe longs for a life free of responsibility.
When an unplanned pregnancy forces Efe into a stark choice, she has to decide which is more important - her love for her family, or the life she wanted for herself.

Appiah's latest work, Rootless, is a top-tier piece of fiction that explores the complexities of marriage and friendship. The narrative, while deeply personal, resonates with a universal truth - the struggle between personal aspirations and the demands of a family.
For fans of Kristina Forest (The Neighbor Favor), Kennedy Ryan (Can't Get Enough), Sadeqa Johnson (The House of Eve), Millie Belizaire (The Garden of Eden), and Jessica George (My Name Is Maame).
