Its beautiful, and at times heart-breaking, meditation on birth and death, and all that lies between, offers a unique insight into the challenges life presents. From the pursuit of happiness to the nature of time, it examines the fundamental questions that plague our time-junkie generation.Darkly funny and deceptively simple, Time and the Tree draws the reader on a surreal journey, where a group of unlikely characters grapple with choices and grope towards self-knowledge in a world where compassion is interwoven with menace.

Lyrical, wise, and ultimately hopeful, it has the hallmark of a modern-day classic. A captivating read for fans of The Alchemist, or A Wrinkle in Time. And, with its beautiful new artwork, this 2nd edition of Time and the Tree is a treat for both the eyes and the heart.★ 2025 Nautilus Book Awards Gold Winner★ Eric Hoffer Da Vinci Eye Book Award Winner★ 2025 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Inspirational Fiction'Time and the Tree is unlike anything I’ve read in contemporary literature - a beautiful fable fit for difficult and confusing days.' - Luke Gerwe, PBS NewsHour
