I love the writing in this book. It’s so beautifully descriptive. The story is both harsh, and gentle. Hopeful, and sad. I worked with Mexican gray wolves, and it’s clear the author understands the battles faced with reintroduction and ‘management’. It’s written by an insider, not someone who’s just guessing. It’s a story of pain and loss, but balanced by love and redemption.

I feel that I was too young to appreciate this book, which isn't something I thought I would say about any book before reading this. I think a lot of what the book was doing flew over my head. I found it difficult to relate to themes and characters as I am now but it was beautifully written, and I really wish I could have gotten more out of it. I didn't think I cared much about the characters until the last chapter, which I found very hard hitting despite it all. I didn't exactly enjoy this book - sometimes it felt a chore to be honest, but I'm still glad I tried it. Maybe someday I can reread and understand it better - though when I think about it, I hope I will never experience such loss that will make me relate to it.

Oh the main character happens to be a lesbian which is probably how this ended up on my to be read list. (It's not a romance, or an Issue Book - or at least not a Lesbian Issue book but you know, it's there even if you might miss it if you blink too hard)

This is a wonderful book. It has such a mystical, emotional quality to it. It brought me to tears, literally.

The only complaint I have about this book is what that it was too short. I wished the author would have added a little more background on the years between Zeb & Willa's childhood and the present (all those years that they were separated from each other). Otherwise I thought this was a beautifully constructed novel, and it's one I won't hesitate to recommend to others.
