A Novel that leads to Tassajara


Tim Ream writes:

Hello friends of Tassajara!

Please allow me to present:

Fallen Water: A novel of Zen and Earth
by Tim Ream

A desperate fugitive on the run in the drought-ravaged wildlands of the Big Sur Coast fakes his way into a remote Zen monastery where playing monk is his only hope for staying free. Constant friction with the idiosyncratic monastics and the enigmatic female Zen Master force him to confront what he’s really running from and what freedom truly means. His unexpected self-discovery is deeply intertwined with the mystery that landed him there and with the embattled wilderness he loves.
