About the Book

The Taming of Corky is a story about love, both the love of a young, childless couple reaching out to a lost child, and the fulfillment of love the child might bring to them. Jan and Bert Whittier have yearned for a child for the twelve years of their marriage, hungry to become parents. Nine-year-old Corky is the sole survivor of the plane crash that killed both his parents and left him in the wilderness, desperately trying to survive alone. When Jan and Corky stumble across each other in the woods several months after the crash, their story truly begins. Will their chance meeting satisfy both their needs, or will circumstances keep them apart?
