What happens when doing the right thing is the hardest choice of all? Meet Willow , a young wolf from the Shadow Pines pack who loves adventure, friendship, and the forest she calls home. When a long winter leaves her pack hungry and worried, Willow is faced with a powerful test of character—one that challenges her honesty, courage, and leadership.
