Young Ruby Fairchild has always navigated a delicate balance between solitude and connection. After being sent to Juvenile Detention for a horrendous crime she didn’t commit, she spends three years with her grandmother Sorcha in a secluded cabin in the Idaho Mountains. Her bond with a fierce white wolf named WAYA (Cherokee for “snow”) provides the love and loyalty for which she has always yearned. Yet, as danger approaches from hunters who want to destroy all wolves, Ruby embarks on a journey of self-discovery, delving not only into finding the father for whom she has always yearned, but to protecting the wild creatures that link her fate to the wolves and her ancestors. In a gripping tale of courage, loyalty, and the search for belonging, Ruby learns that the roots of family run deeper than blood and that true strength lies in the bonds we choose to forge.
