This book can be bought on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe.

There is a world alongside ours-vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers’ novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Join CJE SeniorLife for our March Book Club discussion! Renee Hochberg will lead a conversation about The Overstory by Richard PowersĪ sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of the natural world.
