The Harvester

At the first bluebird of spring, David Langston lets his dog choose the year ahead: a city office or wild herbs, solitude or courtship. Belshazzar’s answer is not the one his master hoped for.

On a lakeside cabin stoop, with melting snow in the wind and the woods waking around him, the Harvester has made Belshazzar his trusted judge for six years. David would rather gather ginseng and golden seal than join the city’s money-making scramble—but now the dog seems to have sentenced him to the “girl business.” A woman might bring the companionship he secretly longs for, or unsettle the hard-won freedom he and Bel share. As spring advances, can a woodsman who has planned his life alone make room for the one he dreams of?
