Miyax tries to survive by copying the ways of a pack of wolves and soon grows to love her new wolf family. Life in the wilderness is a struggle, but when she finds her way back to civilization, Miyax is torn between her old and new lives. Is she the Miyax of her human village—or Julie of the wolves?

Reviews
Irene Worth's performance is a jewel. Her lyrical telling a treat. Sadly, the recording, made in 1977, doesn't measure up to today's standards of sound quality. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
