The challenges we face, the demands made of us, and the choices we make often grow out of control and it is hard to emerge from the bracken unscathed.Īs Housholder leads us through the thicket with Kati and Josh’s stories, he personally risks some scrapes in the choices he has made as a storyteller. Housholder uses the blackberry bush symbolism to represent that which ensnares us in life. The book repeatedly mentions blackberry bushes: characters walk among the bushes, get scraped by the thorns, etc. But they live on separate continents and have no concrete knowledge of one another until a brief and life-changing encounter in their early twenties.
