Plot Summary of The Loop
"Biologist Helen Ross finds herself trying to save the wolves of Montana--against the wishes of some of the wealthiest cattle-owners in the area. When her adversaries pit themselves against her, she faces death threats and other humiliations. The person who comes to her rescue is an unlikely hero--the son of the wealthy cattle-owner. Together they find a passion for the wild, and a love that will survive the toughest of obstacles."
Laura Fong, Resident Scholar
