In the lost man, Sydney sees an intelligence and wit the academics studying him can't fathom. The more she gets to know him, the more she aches for the sensitive, insightful man locked inside his wild shell. And then she sees the disheveled stranger staring at her from the window of his small cottage. She's back where she was before her marriage, taking care of her father, the absent-minded anthropologist, and seeing after her two younger brothers. But instead of healing, Sydney finds herself stifled by the very prim and proper life she's forced back into.

Wounded by the death of her young husband, Sydney Darrow has returned to her family's summer home in Michigan.

The words they speak, like his old name, are a long-forgotten part of his past. Inside, he yearns for the freedom of the forest, for his friends the wolves, but at the same time, he aches for the touch and companionship he sees the people around him expressing. Confused and alone, the lost man paces his cell, the small room where the people have locked him so they can study the ways of the boy who was raised by wolves.
