On Becoming A Tree

On Becoming a Tree, follows a woman in the aftermath of a love that ends under the weight of belief, silence, and fear. Set against a landscape that absorbs memory as much as it does bodies, the narrative traces her attempt to remain tethered—to a man who cannot meet her fully, and to a world that punishes dissent. As time loosens its hold and the boundary between self and earth begins to blur, grief takes on a physical presence. Nature becomes more than setting; it listens, watches, and keeps what is left behind. Love persists, but not without cost, and endurance proves more complicated than devotion. Lyrical and unsettling, the book weaves intimacy with political undercurrents, exploring what it means to speak when silence is safer, and to stay when disappearance feels easier.

On Becoming a Tree is a meditation on attachment, loss, and the quiet ways people learn to survive what cannot be reconciled.
