The animal swerved into the bracken, its smooth long tail slipping away. Satchel listened a minute for any sign of it but it was gone . . . He wondered what its name had been, who had owned it, what hard history had left it alone here, at the foot of the hanging volcano.
In a dying country town lives a young man fighting the future, a young woman fighting the past, and a long-lost animal that can teach them both the art of survival.
Stripes of the Sidestep Wolf is a shimmering, ultimately joyful novel, a story of journeying towards courage and freedom, of finding the will to live a life beyond expectation.
