CITY WOLVES

Join Author Dorris Heffron on Thursday, July 14, at 1.30 at the Dwight Library. She'll be discussing her newest novel, CITY WOLVES. This is an historical fiction, following the first female veterinarian in Canada from Halifax, through Boston to the Gold Rush days at Dawson City as she pursues her passion for the wild wolves, and the Malamute sled dogs descended from them.  A believable cast of characters, a true love of the north country and the brave dogs that made living there possible, interspersed with  Innuit spiritguides  who keep watch over the breed they developed from the wolves makes this a great read.  A different perspective on the Yukon gold rush, and the women who have been mostly unsung in history, keeps this high on our summer reading list.
