About the Book
Imagine what would happen if a rough-shod crew of loggers discovered that the mushrooms growing underfoot in the woods, mushrooms as ancient as the primeval forest itself, had strange and wonderful aphrodisiacal properties... CAN you imagine? *THE FIRST TREE* is the story of a young man's coming of age in such a universe. Here is a book that tells it the way it is, while breathing life into the sweaty world of crew bosses and working men. The hero is Tom Lacey, a university student set adrift by tragedy who ends up working in the woods. Whence Tom's adventures (and a host of hilarious misadventures) begin. THE FIRST TREE deals with environmental devastation and human renewal. The plot reels from coast to coast, and thickens with wild hijinks and a glimpse into the ancient world. The message is uncompromising -- yet it wears a human face. Toss in a poignant love story and you have the makings of an unforgettable first novel. Get ready to laugh -- and cry.
