WHEN THE WORLD SPEAKS, WHO WILL LISTEN...?

At the edge of a forest, in the shadow of a mountain, a sentient tree grows.

As Sap thrives, she observes her new world - the beauty and the destruction. Formed from her trunk, powerful tools are milled and wielded by humans.

Sally Pringle picks up a violin, made from the dark wood of Sap, and a string of mystical manipulations occur.

Rebecca Pringle and her true love, Simon, are guided by a wooden figure, carved from Sap's own branches, in their dream of joining Medicines Sans Frontiers.

Susan Daily, a friend to the Pringles, documents their stories at Sap's desk, with Sap's pencil, on Sap's paper.

As the threads of their lives intertwine, Sap leads them, and humanity at large, towards salvation and away from self-destruction.

John Howley has been an author, writer, poet and musician since his formative days through the 1960s and beyond. Since graduation he has worked a plethora of ""real jobs"": electrician, engineer, builder, professional musician (not a real job), nurse, carer. Whatever he undertook, he was always observing nature and humanity, and taking notes, often turning those notes into songs. Writing If a Tree Falls is his attempt to raise awareness of our part in nature, and nature's part in us. He always believed in fairies, trees and angels, because his father told him so.

Reviews for If a Tree Falls

“Wondrous and beautifully written, a sparse emotional journey of lyrical pleasure…” Margaret, Readalot reviewer [NT]
