An award-winning author turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future. A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine. 288 pages hc
