Just when they thought that they were on the up, their world is once again turned upside down on Christmas eve, when their youngest son gets a cold which develops into a nightmare infection, a "killer of children" and is immediately rushed to Temple Street Children's Hospital. This leads them on a rollercoaster ride of turmoil and emotion. Will their son survive? Will their marriage? How can this be happening again after all they've been through?The Tree That Fell in Winter tells the story of how trying to be strong or playing the hero all the time topples even the strongest of people. It's about a family coming together in the face of adversity and overwhelming trauma to emerge stronger, as individuals and as a family.
