An oriole sings to a dying father. A bleeding-heart dove saves the day. A crow wakes a woman’s resolve. Owls help a boy endure isolation. Cockatoos attend the laying of the dead. Always there are birds in these linked stories that pay homage to kindness and the kinship among women and the planet. From Australia to the Philippines, across cultures and species, kindness inspires resilience amidst loss and grief. Being together ignites resistance against violence. We pull through in the company of others.

Four generations of women named after trees refuse to be cut down: Banaba, Narra, Pili and Dao.

‘ In the name of the trees, I retrieve you from hurt and sickness.’ In a Philippine ritual of retrieval, Lola Narra tries to heal her granddaughter Dao who was paralysed in an accident that killed her father.

They live in Canberra, far from the healing trees of their first home in the village of Ilawod where the story began. But between the Philippines and Australia, the land knows, the trees know, as do these hardwood women: their colonial inheritance is wound on wound on wound-lúgad sa lúgad sa lúgad.

They tell stories to hide, evade, or make truth bearable. But trees remember. They do not lie. And knowing is resistance.

May sekreto si Lola Nene: Dalawa ang kaniyang pangalan—
isa ang gamit ngayon, isa noong panahon ng mga Hapon.

May sekreto rin si Laya: Isa siyang saksi—sa kalupitan ng kaniyang mga kaklase,
at sa bibig niyang nananatiling tikóm sa kabila ng mga pangyayari.

Magkaibang panahon, magkaibang laban.
Paano kung ang lihim pala ng kaniyang Lola Nene
ang magtulak kay Laya na magsalita’t manindigan?

Lola Nene has a secret: she has two names—one she uses today, and one she used during the Japanese occupation.

Laya has a secret, too: she is a witness—of her classmates’ cruelty, and of her own silence in the thick of it.

Different eras. Different battles.
What if Lola Nene’s secret is what finally pushes Laya
to speak out and take a stand?
