When she reached Wyoming, Shreve was captivated by the red dirt, the Bighorn Mountains, and the wide-open spaces. Unable to shake the spell of the "cowboy state," she soon found herself trading her New York City apartment for a house in Ten Sleep, Wyoming -- population 300.<P>Shreve threw away her cell phone and took to the rules of the land, adjusting to a lifestyle that was a near antithesis to that of the urban jungle. Time is of a different essence, nature is both livelihood and enemy, deer and coyote mark the dawn and dusk. After she met a local cowboy by chance on the side of the road, first a friendship and then a romance blossomed between them.<P>When Shreve was unexpectedly presented with a ten-day-old coyote pup whose parents had been shot for killing sheep, she had a choice to make. Despite her reservations and the terror of her tomcat Eli, Shreve decided to do the unthinkable -- to raise the coyote pup she came to call Charlie in her 12 12-foot log cabin.<P>In arresting prose and illuminated with Shreve's breathtaking photography, <I>The Daily Coyote</i> is at once Shreve's month-by-month exploration of Charlie's first year and a meditation on the nature of wildness versus domestication, of nature versus nurture, and of forgiveness, loyalty, and love in all its forms. 3243068 book 11 11 2008 The Daily Coyote: Story of Love, Survival, and Trust In the Wilds of Wyoming total:348|5:110|4:150|3:73|2:12|1:3| 348 1396 565 138 4 2 false false Thu Dec 04 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 14:07:09 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 14:18:11 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jan 20 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 21:59:28 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 22:02:10 -0800 2009
