Broken Roots

By Antoey White

How do you heal when pain raised you?

Malik never asked to be a product of the streets, but when the love he needed went missing, survival became the only option. Raised in a home filled with silence, resentment, and unspoken trauma, he's forced to navigate fatherhood, betrayal, and identity in a world that expects him to fail.

When past wounds resurface and loyalty is tested, Malik must decide: will he break the cycle?or pass the pain on?

Broken Roots is a raw and emotional urban fiction debut that dives deep into generational trauma, Black fatherhood, and the scars we carry in silence. Gritty, honest, and deeply human, this story is for anyone trying to rise above the damage they never asked for.

If you loved The Coldest Winter Ever or A Hustler's Pain, this one's for you.
