Our guest on this program was Melina Watts, who has written a fascinating novel called Tree, a piece of magical fiction written from the perspective of a Live Oak!  We  read the book and loved it, finding it engaging from both a spiritual  and ecological perspective. She read several passages for us and helped  us understand not only her purpose in writing the book, but the  complexities of maintaining its point-of-view, from acorn to full grown  oak. Along with telling us the oak's story, Melina includes fascinating  ecological details about the flora, fauna, and hardships of the Topanga  valley.  It is available from Amazon.
