Add to basketWhat if the trees could tell us secrets that could save our future?
Lilly’s life is turned upside down when the global pandemic hits. In one sweep, she loses her job as an airline steward and is forced to move to rural Oxfordshire and live on her grandparents' farm. From flying high to living low, she spends her days trying to forget and her nights haunted by dark dreams where old Ma Hakka leads her to the depths of despair.
Her first thought is to keep the strangely disturbing nightmares to herself, but as they mount, the desire to share is overwhelming. During a group therapy session, she discovers that she is not the only one to experience such dreams. With the help of her newfound ally, Margaret, Lilly uncovers a series of dream accounts spanning seven generations which ultimately reveals the source of her dream – the Signal tree.
As her understanding of local history unfolds and her knowledge of how trees cast old lessons within the patterns of their wood, she is able to experience things through a new, longer-term, tree perspective. Can this new knowledge help her to re-learn the ancestral ways and, together with family and friends, create a path to a better future for the next generation – Generation 8?
Heather Comina was born in 01971 (at 326ppm atmospheric CO2). After her PhD she spent much of her career as a medicinal chemist. In 02018 (at 407ppm atmospheric CO2) she woke up to the reality that our home is in peril and founded Climate Concepts UK. She lives in Oxfordshire.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
