Accidents and family dynamics are like identical twins. A painful experience to one, brings forward similar pain in the other, and that is what happens in this book.

Luke Warren transcends from human existence into 'wolfdom', leaving his real family behind. When he is involved in a serious accident with his daughter, Cara, and ends up in a vegetative state, the divided family's pot of secrets and hurts gets cooking. The two siblings have to make a decision but cannot agree on what would make their father happy and which decision will reflect his own. While their stories are told, Luke's own story weaves through it all as a replay of his life between the wolves in Canada.

There are so many great reviews of this book, that I do not want to indulge much.

A little bit slow-moving, fascinating, yet a bit far fetched. The hero is the biggest anti-hero of them all, which in my opinion, lends a believable trail throughout the narrative.

Since the book aims to raise awareness for wolf research, it is understandable that the plot and theme would want to stir emotions and leave the reader to reconsider their attitudes towards wolves. It worked.

It was a good read indeed! It took me more than two weeks of sporadic reading to get it finished. But in the end I am glad I persisted and will read this author again, for sure.

Delee I was on the fence about this one- but your review tipped the scale to the side of reading it. Thanks Margitte! :)

You're most welcome, Delee. I am looking forward to her other books. This was the first one. The challenge to attract attention with a book in a highly competitive market was met with this one, for sure.


Deanna Great review, Margitte!
