A View from the Wolf's Eye
Candy Peterson's memoir is an intimate story of love and beauty told with such skill and honesty it reads like a letter from a beloved sister. Candy has captured the transcendent beauty of nature and the struggle of individuals to serve it in a meaningful way. In A View from the Wolf s Eye Candy does a masterful job of revealing the vulnerability of a woman in love with family and wilderness. ----Nevada Barr, Author of Winter Study and Superior Death.From a rustic island cabin, over 37 summers, Carolyn Peterson emerges as a woman equally competent to skin a dead moose and bake a rhubarb pie, to carry a heavy pack behind her researcher husband and to wash diapers in a metal tub over an open fire. Her memoir is instructive, uplifting and inspiring, a wise chronicle of life lessons, learned by being a long time in one place and training one's eyes to recognize its wonders. ----Susan Ager, Detroit Free Press columnistIf Rolf Peterson is the heart of Isle Royale wolf-moose research, then Candy Peterson is the soul. Present since the early 1970s, her spirit and wisdom touch everything. I have spent tens of hours listening to her storehouse of knowledge on everything about this shining gem of nature called Isle Royale. ----Douglas Smith, Wolf Project Leader, Yellowstone National Park
