Simard brings us into her world, the intimate world of the trees, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths--that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp, but are a complicated, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social, cooperative creatures connected through underground networks through which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own. Part science writing, part memoir, part call to action, Simard writes in an inspiring, illuminating, and accessible way, weaving together her personal challenges with illness and misogyny, while pursuing her dedication to unravelling the complexities of nature.
