ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Overstory” by Richard Powers is a profound exploration of human connections with trees and nature.

As the characters’ stories unfold, their individual struggles and personal transformations intersect with a larger movement to protect the natural world. The book weaves together ecological science and personal narrative, reflecting on how humans impact nature and the urgent need for preservation. Powers uses the symbolism of trees to illustrate growth, resilience, and interconnectedness.
