Pulled by the Root: An Adoptee's Healing Journey From Trauma, Shame, and Loss

by Heidi Marble, Alysa Zalma MD

Adoption involves complex trauma that, if unhealed and unheard, will pulse through subsequent generations. Pulled by the Root is a raw, vivid, and cinematic account of Heidi Marble's lived experience as an adopted person. The story is led by Heidi as she pieces together her identity and comes home to her true self. Each chapter is followed by psychiatrist Alysa Zalma's commentary, which extracts the essence of what is happening psychologically and spiritually.

Pulled by the Root is an awakening not only to the experience of being adopted but also to the experience of being human.

Heidi has a way with words and descriptions like no other ! Loved every minute of this book. And as a therapist I nerded out on the psychoanalysis partner to each chapter.
