The Tree
by Judy Pascoe
It was simple for me: the saints were in heaven, and guardian angels had extendable wings like Batman, and my dad had died and gone to live in the tree in the back yard.'When Simone's father dies, her mother Dawn is left to raise her and her brothers on her own. As their mother succumbs to sorrow, the children are left floundering in their own unhappiness and loss. But Simone hears her father calling to her from the tree outside her window, and climbs the tree to listen. At first disbelieving, her mother agrees to climb and listen too. The children hear their mother and father laughing and arguing in the tree and are consoled. But the tree's roots are growing under the house, threatening to pull it down .Now a major feature film THETREEFILM.com
