A debut memoir from one of the first women who fought for wolf protection in the United States—a story of passion, resilience, and determination.

Wildlife biologist Diane Boyd has spent four decades studying and advocating for wolves in the wilds of Montana, just west of Glacier National Park amidst some of the most pristine wilderness left in America. This is her incredible true story.

A single woman living on her own in a cabin without running water or electricity, Boyd launched her career in the 1970s, a time when men dominated the conservation scene in America. It was also a time when wolves were among the most hated animals in the country, detested by farmers, politicians, and ranchers alike. Boyd’s goal was big and risky: she was to trap and attach radio collars to as many wolves as she could without alerting too many locals to what she was doing …

Strapping on her skis in waist-deep snow, Boyd traveled far and wide searching for wolves to trap, tranquilize, radio collar, and release back out into the wild to, she hoped, thrive in their rightful home. In her evocative writing, Boyd captures her passion, her indomitable spirit, and the intricate balance between human and carnivore coexistence.

She also introduces us to Kishinena, the first wolf who marked the species' return to the western United States. The founder of what was later known as the Magic Pack, Kishinena’s pioneering life of adventure and bravery mirrors Boyd’s own.
