I understand nothing in this world last forever. That's what the things change when the seasons change, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. However, I don't understand the relationship between Eddie and Deanna. I realize it was most likely going to be a one-time thing that last for a couple months before breaking, but their relationship just feels so random. I know there's a connection between the nature and the natural animalistic urges of humans during mating, but...I don't...it just didn't feel right.
1. I wasn't wild about the huge age gap, but that's normal in this day and age.
2. They didn't really get to know each other until late in the game. Mainly it's just been sex.
3. Deanna will most likely pass away around the time the baby is young adult, kind of pointless when she is currently 47. This is a touchy subject since many people may be ok with having children at a later age.
Any thoughts?

I felt like the relationship was a bit of a stretch myself. Although, maybe it was supposed to be simple/animalistic for the point of reproduction. The relationship certainly didn't feed much for me in the book. I think maybe a smaller age gap would have made it easier to grab onto with the thought that maybe she was ten years younger rather.
There was also that weird/uncomfortable sexual pull between Lusa and Little Rickie that I was afraid would take fruit but thank goodness did not.
Any thoughts on the ending? Was Eddie Bondo hunting the wolves?

Would a coyote care about the difference in age between the male and the female? Would you have cared if the sexes were reversed? She had been alone for a very long time. I could understand her feelings. That story line really showed how we are animals in the cycle of nature with urges to reproduce, but not without a higher brain too. She wasn't unthinking in her actions, but there was a basic instinctive edge to it too, that couldn't (and even shouldn't, perhaps) be denied.
