Ray and Simon are used to being misfits. They eat at their own lunch table and hang out together because no one else seems to notice them unless it is to poke fun at their expense.
Enter Jane Doe (Ray ops for using a fake name for the girl who changes their lives). No one is sure why Jane's family moved to Burgerville, but it's something Ray vows to figure out. Jane immediately connects with Ray and Simon, and both of them fall for her.
As a history buff, Ray insists that Jane learns the history of Burgerville and steps forward to show her the highlights. When Ray's tour begins to take on the feeling of dating, Jane suggests finding Simon a girl friend of his own. Wow! Who would have believed that outcasts like Ray and Simon would be hanging out with girls?
Something is obvious from the start. Jane has issues. Ray is so happy with Jane, he wants to do whatever is possible to make her feel happy, too, but that might be more than anyone can handle.
Author Michael Belanger explores loneliness, love, and loss in THE HISTORY OF JANE DOE. Readers will learn that even when something doesn't last forever, it is still worth the effort.
