Wilfred (Wolf) Truly has had an unbelievably sad and rough life in his short eighteen years......the traumatic loss of his mother, the utter abandonment of his low-life piece of sh*t philandering drunk of a father, (I did not like Frankie) and the thought of losing his one true friend in the world (Byrd) has literally sent Wolf over the edge.
With one final trip to the top of Angel's Peak, Wolf plans to end his misery and take the plunge (no spoiler here) but along the way encounters three lost souls wandering through the woods who turn his plan into a disastrous nightmare of an adventure that ultimately gives his life new meaning.
A bit of magic from above, a shocker of a sacrifice and a twist at the end made for an engrossing read!
Dear Daniel,
A person has to have lived a little to appreciate a survival story. That's what I've always said, and I promised that when you were old enough, I'd tell you mine. It's no tale for a child, but you're not a child anymore. You're older now than I was when I got lost in the mountain wilderness.
Five days in the freezing cold without food or water or shelter. You know that part, and you know that I was with three strangers, and that not everyone survived. What happened up there changed my life, Danny. Hearing the story is going to change yours.
Remember our family motto – there will be sway.
