A heart-warming story with a very yummy intriguing hero named Wolf. Wolf and Mary made an adorable couple. It did have some cringe-worthy moments. Incredibly dated and awkward writing and painfully skewed stereotypes. Whites do not refer to themselves as white Anglos and Native Americans do not refer to themselves as Indians. And a 29-year-old virgin doesn't need to keep referring to herself as an old maid no matter what her staunch strict Aunt drilled into her head. It's the late 80s not early 1900s. Made the time setting very confusing. This really needed a good editor, especially since there is a glaring typo on the first page, first line of the author's note (this story was written and published in 1989 not 1998).
