It's 1913 and a young reckless girl goes out into the forest on the edge of the Baltic Sea and meets a gang of rowdy young men with revolution on their minds.

But what is owed to those left behind, trapped in the old lands? From the flour mills of Latvia to Liverpool suburbia to post-war Soho, The Story of the Forest follows the lives of those trying to make sense of themselves in a new world, haunted by the memory of what might have been.

Who we are in real life / by Koops, Victoria,author.;
"IRL, Darcy has just moved to the small prairie town of Unity Creek with her two moms. It feels like she left everything good behind in the city.

Then she meets kind, quiet Art, who invites her to join his Dungeons & Dragons game. Art is mostly happy fading into the background at school and only really coming alive during his friends' weekly D&D game--until meeting Darcy pulls his life off-course in wonderful and alarming ways. Suddenly he has something worth fighting for. But what if that something puts him in conflict with his father, an influential and conservative figure in their town? Can Art stand up against his father's efforts to prevent Darcy and her friends from starting a queer-straight alliance at school? Meanwhile, in game, Darcy's and Art's D&D characters join forces to fight corruption as they grow closer in the homebrew world of Durgeon's Keep--as fantasy and reality collide."--
