Book excerpt: Barkerton, Massachusetts, 1650, three children and a woman went missing, and the inhabitants of Barkerton were in panic. Was it a witch, a friend, or some kind of monster that had taken them? Even more disappearance had happened several times in the past, but no one had wanted to talk about it until now. This time, it was the Barker family, and this town had been settled by them nearly thirty years ago. A search party was sent out into the forest to find them, but there were no bodies to be found, only a hideous man with an evil disposition. There would be a trial. In present day, the Carrier family-Jonathan, Sarah, and their two boys-move into their new country home, where they begin seeing visions of a ghost, a singing chandelier, and a strange man who is trying to lure the boys into the woods. The boys eventually go missing, and Jonathan must get them back safely. The older of the two boys, Thomas, shocked his parents when his face is seen in the bark of the mysterious sycamore tree. In 1616, in the village of Wampanoag Indians, terrible times have cursed the village with yellow fever, drought, and famine. Nitchicke, the village spiritual adviser (taupaw), is tasked to find a solution. He and twelve other taupaw search the forest for a place to convene with the spirits. On the night of the full moon, a silver tear is shed by the moon, and it lands in Nitchicke's lap. He must carry this moonstone to the ancient burial ground, where it will capture the spirits of the dead and remove the curse on his village. The journey costs him his life. He was buried beneath a sycamore tree. It was said that his face could be seen in the bark.

Download or read book Tree Face and the Cripple written by Paul Ebbs and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “First off, I didn't mean to kill my Dad.” Sam Croker did just that and yet it was the least of his problems. Crash-landed and alone in the South American rainforest, kilometers from anywhere, with no equipment or survival skills would be the ultimate challenge for almost anyone. But Sam has been paraplegic for years. He can’t walk. Has no feeling in his legs. Has no food, and no means to obtain it. If he lasts three days without being drowned, poisoned, or eaten it will be a miracle. That miracle arrives from two unexpected directions—a hideous face carved into a tree which invades Sam’s fevered mind as if it were alive and the disabled girl who worships it as her God—and so the first glimmers of possible rescue begin to shine. But the Kik-Kik wants to keep Sam for herself and drug smugglers want to hunt down and kill them all. Tree Face and the Cripple is a story of survival against the odds and an awkward, unlikely friendship based on profound misunderstandings. It is both a high-action suspense thriller with a shattering climax, and a spiritual journey for Sam from bitter, defeated, spoilt, rich kid, into someone altogether stronger. Well, it could be, if Sam lives that long.

Arboretum is an eclectic blend of science, automatic writing, self-analysis and satire.

Download or read book Finding the Mother Tree written by Suzanne Simard and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the world's leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest—a moving, deeply personal journey of discovery Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. In this, her first book, now available in paperback, 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 by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own. Simard writes--in inspiring, illuminating, and accessible ways—how trees, living side by side for hundreds of years, have evolved, how they learn and adapt their behaviors, recognize neighbors, compete and cooperate with one another with sophistication, characteristics ascribed to human intelligence, traits that are the essence of civil societies--and at the center of it all, the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful forces that connect and sustain the others that surround them. And Simard writes of her own life, born and raised into a logging world in the rainforests of British Columbia, of her days as a child spent cataloging the trees from the forest and how she came to love and respect them. And as she writes of her scientific quest, she writes of her own journey, making us understand how deeply human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology, that it is about understanding who we are and our place in the world.
