Playin on Yggdrasil is a story about Justine, a girl who has to live with bullies, grief and a tree that helps her escape all that. Only her escape may be worse than her real life. 

The story is told from her father's point of view. As Justine tells her dad about her days whether at school or with Drasil her friend who is a tree and maybe more than a tree, he works through his own understanding of his world, God's place in the world and what it might mean to live the kind of radical love that God appears to call him to.

Playing on Yggdrasil is a spiritual fantasy that sees faith in a very different way than most people think of fantasy. It asksdifficult question and refuses to hand out simple answers. The love of father and daughter is tested in ways that they never imagined. In this world, or in any other world it is necessary to chose between being a person who lives by grace and hospitality or a person who embraces violence and pain as the meaning of life.
