Wandering over 30 miles in four weeks, encountering danger at every turn. Solitude of strength, guidance and courage comes by way of miracle of prayer and discovery of scripture.

The young boy is ultimately tested by the true meaning of endurance, faith, and courage while also learning to coexist with natures wild.
