When diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour, Gudrun Pflüger was told she had eighteen months left to live. Taking the wolf—a true “endurance athlete”—as her model, she immerses herself in the wilderness of the mountain ranges of western Canada and focuses her mind and body on a mysterious and inspirational path toward self-healing.

Through an intensely personal, scientific and emotional connection with the wolves she studies and the glorious landscape that surrounds her, Gudrun Pflüger tells a touching and absorbing story of the transformative and healing power of nature.
