Herrick sets his spare verse novel in an outback valley inhabited by the dysfunctional Hardings and the Jacksons. When Lucy Harding learns that Jake Jackson is on a quest to find a rogue wolf, she sees an opportunity to run away from her abusive father. Instead, she faces the wolf and rescues Jake. This poignant coming-of-age story has a low-key but happy ending.
