Description

Deeply Rooted is a memoir about what happens when a woman stops performing goodness and starts embodying truth.

After a lifetime of trying to belong in a world that demanded performance over presence, Trista Overby packed her bags and left the United States behind. What began as a solo sabbatical to France became something deeper—and entirely unexpected.

Through raw diary entries, quiet awakenings, and soul-shifting moments, Trista uncovers the root systems that shaped her—from family roles to societal expectations. Along the way, she reckons with the quiet ache of being a “good girl” in a world that never truly saw her.

From standing barefoot on foreign balconies; learning to speak a new language—not just French, but the language of her own body; winding road trips through new landscapes, quiet mornings with fresh bread, and the unexpected poetry found in solitude: in silence, in stillness, in the sacred return; to crossing oceans to discover that peace isn’t a destination—it’s a way of being.

And that freedom isn’t found in a place—but in presence.

This isn’t just a story of healing. It’s a reckoning!

A return to self through truth, embodiment, and presence… the radical decision to live deeply rooted in her own worth.

A woman who chose herself… even when it cost her everything.

This book isn’t here to rescue you.

It’s here to remind you that you were never lost.
