As Above

By Christine Quintana

Quintana's writing is natural, bitingly funny, and heartfelt. --The Georgia Straight

Jo, a sixty-something recovering alcoholic, struggles to piece together a life shattered by addiction. Once a prominent botanical researcher, she now lectures at the local horticultural centre and begins to open her guarded heart to Rick, a fellow sober soul with his own complicated past. But Jo's fragile progress is disrupted when a mysterious phone call from her estranged daughter forces the past to resurface. As Jo embarks on a desperate journey to connect, the intricate, unseen communication between trees mirrors her own quest for healing and reconciliation.

Christine Quintana's As Above is a profoundly moving exploration of redemption, renewal, and the beauty of finding connection in unexpected places. Set amongst the majestic cedar forests of Victoria, British Columbia, this tender and spiritual play is a meditation on the deep roots that connect us to each other and the natural world.
