Heart Wood is about much more than four women…

A friend of mine recently introduced me to a wonderful book by a ‘local author’… the thing about this introduction is that the book, Heart Wood: Four Women, for the Earth, for the Future, is that it’s much more than a book about four women and has far greater reach and acclaim than our local community offers.

While Amazon characterizes the book as “An eco-speculative-historical-mystical-feminist novel”, this book is really about looking at where we going, very quickly, in terms of climate change, AI, and GMO nutrition. In detail, author DicKard creates characters that we can believe and relate to while they face the lovely rural history of the past, juxtaposed with the horror of a future we are busily seeding today.

Take a look with an eco-friendly Kindle copy…this page-turner may just put you into action.
