Marta is a wolf whose mate dies in the early spring. She has to support three pups with the help of oldtooth, an elderly male. Its the modern age in society, and Marta and Oldtooth travel into a further and more dense area...just to be captured and relocated. It was late summer when she last saw the Dahl Lake, but when she is sent to Alaska, she flees and leaves her pack behind. Without her, her pack dies, will she be next?

I like the broad language use and the many comparisons with things. I also love the plot, and how its based on a different point of view; one we seldom understand. THe survival theme will put readers on the edge as one thing after another unfolds.

4 stars, for good language use, suspence, and plot. Very realistic and eye-opening, with a non-anthropormorphic point of view. If you like the Oddessy-type books, you will love Wolf.

This is a great book! I would highly recommend it. 'Asta Bowen depicts these wolves lives so realistically that you might think she had walked right along with thwm. It is as if she can think like a wolf, live like a wolf, feel like a wolf, BE A WOLF! This tragic tale is an amazingly moving and catching drama that I would recomend to any one! On a scale of 1-10, it's a 20! I loved it and I hope she writes some more!:-)This book should be included in everyone's home library. I have read it over and over and I have loved it more every time I read it! All I can say is that 'Asta Bowen is an amazing author, simply amazing!

This book is amazing. Having 'Asta Bowen, whom I was a student of, read this outloud it was incredable to hear Marta's voice and experience through the person who gave that to her. I hope she will write more books about herself because she has many tales to tell that haven't been told. Great job Ms. Bowen, you're a great inspiration, an excellent teacher and a wonderful writer.

An alpha-female wolf named Marta lived in an almost perfect home in Pleasent Valley with her new litter of pups, but are soon "rescued" and relocated to a place where Grizzlies rule. Marta is then confident to return home-with or without the rest of her pack. She then struggles for her life, trying to find enough game to survive. She then finds a place which has much game, few humans, and just an all around great place to live. She then finds a mate and gives birth to her second litter of pups. Soon she...oh, I can't say or I'll ruin the book. You have to read this book! It's a sad book but a good one, too. This is a must read book.

This book is a must-read for animal lovers. Live inside the mind of a she-wolf and discover their thoughts, fears, and terrors. It will break your heart and take your breath away and you will think about it for YEARS to come.
