No hope, no friends, no future. But when Simon the Healer appears everything begins to miraculously transform. The lake, the land and even the villagers themselves blossom into what they should have been all along: beautiful, strong, vital. Jacob learns the lost art of Tree Singing and suddenly the future opens up for him. He pursues his dream of becoming a great flute maker and Singer to the ancient Baboda trees, while Simon moves on, intent on spreading his healing to other parts of the world. Dreams, however, are powerful things and often deliver a future in ways unexpected. For every rise there is a fall, and for every fall the path rises to meet us once again.'

The Woodcarver's Son is an existential novel using the tree turned puppet turned boy to explore what it is to be human.

It is an Everyman story with the tale of the wooden puppet held up to show our own confusion and uncertainty at this life that we experience.

Pinocchio never really knows what he is doing and along the way he ends up living his life. He discovers having the freedom of humanity is not all he thought it might be but that life can only be lived going forward, there is no going back.
