The Oxbow Wolves — D.B. Jackson

The Oxbow Wolves is a story of the struggle between a small wilderness family and a pack of displaced wolves, both looking to survive in a hard environment where there is only room for one or the other. The final conflict comes down to a standoff between the mother of two small children and the matriarch of the wolf pack, both willing to fight to the death to protect their offspring. The final resolution is a heart-rending denouement that could only be reached by two strong mothers.
