Corporatocracy reigns...Nature's patience ends...A young woman is chosen...Now is the time for a global reset... Have you ever wondered what life on Earth will be like in the not-too-distant future? The Greenling transports you to 2060, where you will meet Noah, a young Irish woman who finds herself at the tipping point of the planet's climate catastrophe. Because of her strange connections with non-human life, she is misunderstood by her family and peers. Through her growing sensitivity to Nature's communications, Noah realizes she is being chosen to lead an impending planetary reset-one on a direct collision course with global corporatocracy's unstoppable lust for greed and control. As she strives to effect environmental change through local and global activism, she begins to wonder if instead of fighting for Nature, it's time to fight alongside Nature, which has become increasingly sentient with a mind and plan of its own. Has humanity waited too long? Has Nature been too patient? The stage is now set for what comes next-the beginning of the last battle. The Greenling blends elements of eco-fiction and magical realism into a relatable coming-of-age call of protest and resistance. This beautifully written, multilayered, and, at times, mystical story follows its endearing and complex characters as they face their unique struggles and triumphs. As their surprising journey unfolds, it progresses from rural Ireland to the Amazon rainforest, through the university halls of Toronto, and finally to the remote realms of Northern Scotland.
Autorenporträt
David Booram grew up creek-stomping and geode-hunting in the deep ravines of central Indiana, where he first experienced the magic of nature and learned about birds, frog-gigging, fishing, and organic gardening from his grandpa. He attended Indiana University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Religious Studies and Business Administration. David founded Direction 4 Life Work, where he provided career counseling to students and adults for 30 years. In 2012, he co-founded Fall Creek Abbey, an urban retreat center, where he and his wife, Beth, have sought to renew the contemplative spirit through hospitality, presence, and conversation. In addition, David companions individuals in his work as a spiritual director and trains others in the art of offering spiritual direction through the Fall Creek Abbey School of Spiritual Direction. David describes himself as an ordinary mystic, a lover of nature, especially birds, a poet, a contrarian, a gardener, an artist, and a musician who pursues a life of gentle integrity, humor, creativity, and love. He is the author of Wisdom for Old Souls, co-author of When Faith Becomes Sight and Prayers at Twilight, and creator of the popular Examen Qs and Couples Qs.
