About Story

“Son of the Wilderness” is a story written in classic fable style for the purpose of inspiring the young reader’s heart to develop moral character. The story is set in a fictional kingdom where a noble King is faced with a heart-rending decision. He must either allow his newly born son to grow up in a palace full of decadence or send him to be reared by a Huntsman, with no knowledge of his royal heritage. Follow the arduous adventures of the Son of the Wilderness as he discovers life’s true purpose and receives the reward of both the Kingdom and a noble heart. The Son of the Wilderness is the first part of a trilogy. It will be followed by “Princess of the Palace,” which takes readers on an adventurous journey in search of truth.

Reviews

This amazing story inspires unbridled imagination of children while shinning a light on the importance of developing strong Godly character. The fable, accompanied by the brilliantly written discussion guide, will soon be a treasured resource for parents and grandparents alike, along with professionals in positions to foster the personal growth of children. I can’t wait to read the sequels.

As a homeschooling parent, I appreciate the discussion guide that accompanies the Son of the Wilderness. This guide fabulously offers a time of reflection on positive behavior, causing them to evaluate their own actions through a proper lens. The fable itself depicts beautiful sensory images and appeals to the readers emotions woven throughout the story; i.e. “vile creatures, bred in the dark dungeons,” “gleaming armor on silk pillows,” “the stars became his encouragement,” and “the temptation of luxury would be too great.” Thank you for sharing this valuable fable and I look forward to reading the trilogy in its completion.
