About Beneath the Lotus
How far would you go to save the person you love most? Would you lie? Steal? Could you pull the trigger, knowing you can’t turn back?
All Jimmy wants is an ordinary life. As a clean-cut teenager, he does everything right: gets good grades, stays out of trouble, and keeps his head down—but there’s one thing he can’t control. With an addict mother chasing her next fix, a gluttonous father glued to the couch, twin siblings with unsettling closeness, and a cold-hearted uncle who delights in seeing others suffer, normal is impossible.
Jimmy has no other choice than to deal with it—for Pecu. His baby brother is the only good thing in his life—the only thing worth staying for. But when Jimmy discovers his new girlfriend bound and clinging to life in his own basement, he realizes the horrible truth. If he doesn’t act, his family will destroy Pecu.
Protecting his brother, like all good deeds, comes with a price.
Can Jimmy save Pecu without becoming the monster he wants to save him from?
An unflinchingly bold psychological thriller, Beneath the Lotus will leave you questioning everything you thought about good and evil. With richly drawn characters and a harrowing descent into crime, there’s never been clearer proof of how even the purest intentions can lead to the darkest choices.

Author Bio:
Dacota Rogers was sentenced to over 18 years in federal prison for a drug crime when he was 20 years old. This tragic mistake of his was made into one of his greatest blessings. Before prison, he’d never been interested in reading, but with that being the only form of escape left to him he developed a love for fiction. One day it dawned on him that maybe he could write stories too.
He began small, writing short stories that developed into longer works, but he soon realized that he didn’t want to be a short story writer; he wanted to be a novel writer, so he began writing in longer form. While incarcerated, Dacota wrote four novels, a few novellas, and dozens of short stories. Due to good behavior and changes in laws stemming from the First Step Act, Dacota was granted compassionate release, and now he is out of prison and ready to share his stories with whoever will read them.
