Shadow's Dream

About the Book

Harried Denver businesswoman, Jesse Harless, has had enough of the long hours and stress of her non-advancing job. Even her best friend and their forays into the glittering nightlife of the city cannot pull her out of this funk. A chance meeting with an old friend propels her into the mysteries of the Native American culture, where she is given an odd, yet special gift-an eight-week-old wolf pup she calls Shadow.

Despite her friends' misgivings, Jesse gives up everything and moves to Montana where she hopes to give her wolf the freedom and life he deserves. Jesse enlists a company of new friends, including an angry young Native American and an ex-LA cop, who learn to love and do their best to protect Jesse, Shadow and his orphaned, misfit pack.

Through her union with this cast of characters, Jesse is able to bond with the Ancients' reverence for Mother Earth and all the Creator's children, which leads to her own freedom as well.
