Wolf Time (Oracle of the Wild)

“A magical blend of fact and fantasy . . . It is a terrific book, and deserves to be read by many.” –Dr. Jane Goodall

"Wolf Time is a masterpiece . . . a must read story for healing our relationship with Mother Nature and all life!" -Dr. Tererai Trent

When wildlife biologist Sage McAllister responds to an odd scratching noise outside her cabin door, she is stunned to find two full-grown gray wolves sitting on the deck. Surprise turns to disbelief when the wolves telepathically ask her to tell their story. Her assent triggers an extraordinary journey of time travel and shape-shifting when she merges with the wolves—experiencing the pure joy of life in the wild, as well as the terror and mortal danger posed by the darkest aspects of human nature. Through her travels, Sage witnesses the astonishing connections that exist among all beings, reunites with her own human pack, and has a chance to help humans make peace with a majestic and essential species.
