Bloomsbury presents How to Plant a Billion Trees: A Memoir of Childhood Trauma and the Healing Power of Nature by Nicole Walker read by Laurel Lefkow
When Nicole Walker was molested and had an abortion at age 11, the distance between her and the world grew until she couldn't imagine a future place for her anywhere. In How to Plant a Billion Trees, Walker tries to understand why her whole life didn't fall apart, as was predicted. As she pieces together her story, she finds that it was thanks in no small part to her mother, her sisters, her friends who did not let the sexual abuse to define her. In this candid portrayal of a young girl, Nicole Walker writes about how, thanks to her family, her friends, and the mountains of the Wasatch, Cascades, and San Francisco Peaks, she reknit herself into the fabric of a supportive culture.
Employing the forest as a model to understand how to reconnect her life with the world, Nicole studies the way that ecosystems anticipate, react, and support each small part of the whole. As she learns more about ecology, she discovers that in a healthy forest, even the gritty, decaying elements contribute to the health of the forest. The process of rebuilding the self into a community parallels the process of a forest's growth. To apply that lesson to the human ecosystem, Nicole realizes that even the hard-to-stomach stories need to be told, and, with air, that grit is transformed into something alive and new.
