A tale of Indians and the wolves they share the forest with during a time of great and irrevocable changes wrought with the arrival of a new people from across a great ocean. A coming of age saga as told through the similar and shared (often spiritual) experiences of both man and animal. Unforgettable characters and situations that children, young adults, and those still young at heart will enjoy, laugh, weep, and be thrilled to, as Standing Bear and his pet wolf face the, unfortunately, all too violent birth of a new world, together.
