So many times I'll be watching a program , or movie, on television meant to take place before 1960 and the script will deviate from what was normal in those time periods. Most often that deviation takes the form of a woman chief executive officer.Well, maybe if she inherited the job from her Daddy, like the queens of England do, but fifty years ago a woman boss was mostly put down, ridiculed behind closed doors, even by her own employees.Yes, it took a truly outstanding woman to lead a company and earn respect. There were excuses for NOT promoting a woman: usually that she's just gonna get pregnant and be absent a great deal caring for those rug rats she was bound to have. ( Guess I'm blessed. My husband helped care for our children when they were sick.)"Mother of Wolves" is the story of a woman who was betrayed by a member of her own family. She  swore to get even.Since this was an ancient time, a time when few people owned firearms, she had to survive on her wits, her beauty and the lessons she learned from her father. Being a tomboy can pay off in the long run!The man who wronged her, didn't stop with just her. It's hard to tell just one lie; you have to keep telling lie after lie to cover up what you've said in the first place. When he begins to go after other innocents they run to her side. She didn't know they knew her side of the story!!While she tries to conquer her own boogeyman, our heroine discovers there are times when you shouldn't keep promises to yourself, and, just as people came to her defense, she should help the little guy(s).Okay, I'm being vague. You don't expect me to tell you the whole story,do you? Just know "Mother of Wolves" is a believable adventure. If Lupa, the main character, was the CEO even in the 12th century no one would so much as talk behind her back, much less make fun of her.
