![]() ![]() Through the years she learns to become one with nature, hunting and trapping as effectively and efficiently as “Trapper.” Life is good for Elka. While learning to live off the land, she no longer interacts with other people. ![]() When a thunderhead blows through and literally blows Elka, age 7, away “Trapper” finds her and fills in a “Daddy” roll for her, even if she doesn’t tell him. ![]() (You’ll just have to read what happens, I don’t want to spoil any part of the fantastic finale for you!) When we first meet Elka, the main character, she is 18 years old and living as part of the “wild” with a man she calls “Trapper.” Her real parents left her with her Nana to seek fortune in the Northern country when gold reappears in the land after the bombs have created new geographic designs. This breathtaking novel starts at the end of the main characters “old self,” and reverts back to tell her story leading up to that first fateful encounter. This book is set in post apocalyptic days after Russians “accidentally” drop bombs that kill off most all of humanity while destroying wildlife and vegetation. When first reading the description I was unsure of what I would be in for, but author Beth Lewis took me on an incredible journey that I am not soon to forget. The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis I was surprisingly absolutely blown away by this book. ![]()
