Field Values

Stella has spent years being sensible: a steady office job sorting out insurance claims at an engineering firm, a nice house, a reliable husband, and two teenage children who think she's just a boring mum.

Back in 1996, she was a firebrand eco-activist who once chained herself to the bucket of the excavator her future husband, Steve, was driving.

When a chance encounter beneath the ancient branches of the Lucky Oak reveals that the local woods are under threat from her own employer, Stella is hurled back into a world she thought she'd outgrown.

If she joins the protest, she could lose her job, her home, and maybe even her marriage.

Is standing up for nature worth risking everything?
