Jennifer Davis finds Big Black, her beloved black wolf, half buried
in the snow and near death. It is then she notices his left front
paw, or the absence of it. In near panic she brings her wolf friend
back to her home where her parents have a warm firing burning in
preparation for the canine visitor.
The Black Wolf is a novel of struggle to return the wolf to
some form of normalcy with an untried prosthesis to replace the
missing appendage, of heartache at the loss of a number of canine
friends at the hands of unscrupulous hunters, and the rewards of
successful events in the life of Jennifer, Big Black, and the other
members of the wolf pack on the Davis' property on Manitoulin Island
on the north shore of one of the five Great Lakes in the northern USA
and mid-eastern Canada, Lake Huron.
On going battles with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the
local Ontario Provincial Police and the College of Veterinary
Medicine in Guelph, Ontario, and a general hatred of the wolf, keep
the story moving exploring wolf culture, major canine surgery and
development of magical Ojibwa paste made from mystical white poppies.
Jennifer's struggle to return the wolf to his natural role as alpha
leader of the pack, a budding romance and subsequent double marriage
are but a few of the many exciting twists to The Black Wolf.
Some questions that remained unanswered after the first novel in the
series, Jennifer's Boots, will be answered in The Black Wolf.
However, more questions will arise leaving you anxious for answers
in book three, Running Fawn's Legacy, to be released in late
2011. One question answered in book three is the true identity of the
black wolf and why he acts so unlike that of a normal wolf.
