Pamela Bradley decided to leave her home in San Jose and follow her husband Grant, on an extended business trip to Brattleboro, Vermont. Uprooting herself and her two children, Jenny and Andrew, was a hard decision. After arriving in the old, dismal town, Pam is afraid that it was the wrong decision.

Making new friends is difficult, but the stories about the "wild boy" who lives in the woods bring even more worries.

David was only thirteen years old when he watched his step-father kill his mother in cold blood. To protect his own life, David fled to the woods. He’s been living there and hiding there ever since. But now the Bradleys have moved into the area and their paths are set to cross.

The story of the lost, frightened boy and the family who reaches out to help him is a charming and engrossing read. David will capture your heart. Myrna Ericksen has created an easy to read novel that brings alive the loveliness of Vermont and the miracle working power of love.
