Kim Heacox, author of the National Outdoor Book Award-winning Jimmy Bluefeather, presents a brilliant novel exploring family love and the lengths one will go to protect it. This sprawling tale is filled with suspense, unforgettable characters, and a captivating group portrait of a rebel alliance discovering their true selves in America's stunning natural landscape. It appeals to both aging idealists and adventurous kids, while also delivering laugh-out-loud humor. Heacox poses the urgent question of what price progress in a compelling narrative set in an Alaskan hamlet threatened by big-money development. The only thing standing in its way is a pack of wolves and a determined twelve-year-old girl intent on saving them. The story weaves lyrical tributes to nature’s healing power with a fast-paced plot that builds to a heart-pounding conclusion. In the small town of Strawberry Flats, plans for a road and bridge threaten to disrupt the peace. Former trapper Salt d’Alene is caught in the middle, striving to care for his son Solomon, who has muscular dystrophy. Eleven-year-old Kes Nash longs for her father to return to normal after his service in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, a wolf named Silver and his pack watch from the outskirts. Told from three alternating perspectives, this vivid story about rediscovering hope and new life after trauma is filled with humor and compassion, showcasing the best of America—wildness and kindness.
