Florida Journeys

Daniel Hance Page enjoys telling stories with a message to be considered. "Florida Journeys" is a two-part book that talks about how people's lives are interwoven in the backdrop of the warm Florida climate.

In Part I of this two-part book, "Gone Fishing, A Journey of No Return," Rintin Fox is about to take a journey that will forever change his life. He is living a typical 9 to 5 existence and feels like something is missing. He gets no pleasure from anything and when his outdoors-loving girlfriend finally dumps him, he decides to go to Florida and learn to fish. It becomes a journey of introspection from which there truly is no return.

In Part II - "Lost No Longer," we have a different kind of journey into self-preservation and survival. Benteen (Ben) Sands thinks he is going on a Florida holiday. But due to a robbery and fearing for his life, he runs far into the Florida outback where he becomes hopelessly lost and must find his way back to civilization. He first finds ways to survive, then eventually finds his way back. Returning to civilization, he becomes a sort of quasi-celebrity known as "The Wild Man" or "The Man with the Spear." But even though he returns to civilization, the wild is now a part of him. Eventually, he is drawn back to the home he built in the wild where he finds his destiny.
