YA
After waking up in Penn Station with amnesia and a copy of Walden, "Hank" sets out to rediscover himself--literally. Running from something and with no idea where to go, he heads to Walden Pond where he begins to become a new person as he attempts to exhume his past. It's an inviting premise, but parts of the plot feel forced.
