One of the things I love most about this legend--born of perhaps the most elemental force on earth--is that it follows the protagonist, Clifton, from childhood into young adulthood and, it is hoped, beyond. It's a reminder to all of us of how all things are connected, and that when we care for the land, we are caring for all others, including ourselves. --Rick Bass, author of Winter: Notes from Montana, The Ninemile Wolves, and The Watch
