Becoming Forest opens with Aishling—the young Irish woman at the
heart of this story—as she visits her grandmother in California
following her grandfather’s death. Aishling finds her
grandfather’s journal and reads about a trip he made to India
years ago to visit the original Bodhi Tree, the place where the
Buddha found enlightenment. At the end of the journal, she
finds a letter addressed to her from her grandfather asking for her
help passing along his message of “deep security” to her
generation as they deal with the climate crisis and the uncertain
future ahead. Aishling goes to India to follow in her
grandfather’s path to find a way of responding to his request.
There she meets and falls in love with a young Buddhist monk, who
is also on a quest. As they walk together along the roads of India,
they gather unexpected and invaluable insights from each other and
come closer to the answers they both seek. Thirty years
later, Aishling’s daughter Tara is visiting her in Ireland. Tara
is grieving the death of her father and also the destruction of the
forests from drought and fire. She is also searching for a way to
heal the burnout she and her friends are experiencing while working
to combat climate change. Becoming Forest weaves together threads
of Native American and Celtic spirituality with Buddhist
understanding and connection to the natural world, creating a
tapestry which holds both the despair and awakening of Aishling
