Tears of the Tree Man cover art

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity… and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
― William Blake (1799)

An immigrant with dreams of rebuilding Eden in his new country, now exiled to an urban desert.

This is a story of struggle and joy, of frustration and beauty, of plans and principles forged over a lifetime but challenged at every turn.

This is a story of a man who puts his own life in jeopardy to save total strangers. Whose entire life’s work is rejected as worthless until he finally finds the real reason for his existence.

A novel by Curt Mattson.
