Shreve Stockton, a photographer, author, and city girl, falls in love with rural Wyoming while traveling cross country. She moves to a tiny Wyoming town, lives in a little ramshackle cabin, and begins dating a rancher who also hunts and kills coyotes for the government. He shows up one day with a coyote cub for her, and Shreve keeps it, thereby changing her life quite a bit. The details of her life so far with the coyote, Charley, are fascinating. The author has a blog, The Daily Coyote, for readers who want more gorgeous photos of Charley. Great animal memoir read.
