Dan is lost in the woods. He is all alone and he is starving. When he first decided to leave home he thought he had his trip all planned out. He had enough money to last until he got to Canada and he would simply hitchhike his way. Now he is still a long way from his goal with just a few dollars in his pocket. He is feeling sick and dirty from performing the sexual act the last trucker demanded in payment for his ride. Things seem completely hopeless until he comes across a patch of wild raspberries. 

When Tyler finds a young man stealing his raspberries he almost shoots him, only the boy’s stillness saving him. Tyler Tyler has no choice but to bring him home. isn’t a people person and he has good reasons for being alone so he doesn’t hesitate to send the boy on his way. However, when Dan faints from hunger and exhaustion Tyler has no choice but to bring him home.

WILD RASPBERRIES by Jane Davitt is an interesting read. This novel is not at all what I expected but the surprises increased my enjoyment of the story. Both of these characters have suffered a lot in their lives and I admired their strength and persistence. The way that Dan and Tyler find what they need in each other is lovely. I would really like to spend more time with these two heroes so I hope their will be a sequel.
