Paperback. Bitter RootsBy Edna Lessa Discover a story of love, loss and redemption in the pages of "Raizes Amargas", the newest dramatic novel by Edna Lessa. Lucas de Andrade always considered his father a hero, a pillar of strength and integrity. But when his father is tragically killed in the war of '53, Lucas' life changes forever. He is forced to take responsibility for the cocoa farm and care for his mother and younger brother, Elias. The devastating loss sends his mother into a deep depression, and Lucas finds himself alone, struggling to support his family. With his mother's death, Lucas becomes solely responsible for the farm and Elias' future. Determined to find purpose and heal his pain, he sets out for Brasilia to seek revenge against the armed forces he blames for the destruction of his family. However, the capital holds even more bitter surprises: he discovers the existence of a second family of his father, including Claudia, a sister he never knew he had. As Lucas becomes emotionally involved with Claudia, he faces a new wave of disillusionment as he realizes that his father was not the perfect man he idolized. Fighting his own demons and growing dependence on alcohol, Lucas returns to the farm with Claudia, in an attempt to rebuild his life. But destiny has cruel plans, and tragedy doesn't take long to knock on their door again. "Bitter Roots" is a gripping narrative that explores the limits of family love, the search for identity and the fight for redemption.
