Synopsis

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can’t seem to live without.
Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human… until the cold makes him shift back again.
Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It’s her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human—or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.

February 2015 in Review

Posted February 28, 2015 in Faith, Reading / 2 Comments

It is so hard to believe it is the end of February already. This has been a crazy month.

Things that Happened in February

Lent started with Ash Wednesday the beginning of the month.
I got the nasty cold thing going around the school. I have to remember to thank my students for that one.
We had this really great false spring with temperatures in the 60s (Farenheit) and then we were down to the negatives again.
I left town twice this month! This is pretty big when the closest other places are 2+ hours away and there is a lot of snow on the ground.
I spent a great deal of time with my head in a book and I am perfectly okay with that.
