Jeffrey Reese, a writer of the outdoors, is sent by his magazine to report on the reintroduction of wolves into the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana and Idaho only to find that the wolves' greatest struggle is with man's prejudice and hatred. Through his contact with wolves, Reese is drawn physically and emotionally into the mystique of creatures with human-like emotions. CRY WOLF CRY is a story about people; it is a story about wolves. It is a tale about heartbreak and glory, about hate and love; it is a chronicle of the sadness and happiness of life itself.
