A free-thinking, enterprising mother raising five boys on her own, Charlotte Bridger Drummond loves to thumb her nose at convention. A popular writer of women's adventure stories, Charlotte is fiercely independent, an avid believer in science and logic -- and always game for a little excitement. But when she agrees to join a search party for a child who has disappeared in the Great Northwest Woods, Charlotte quickly finds herself in a mysterious world that challenges her concept of reality.

Starving and half-dead from exposure, Charlotte is rescued by a band of elusive, quasi-human beasts. As she becomes a part of the creatures' extended family, Charlotte is forced to reconsider her previous notions about the differences between animals and humans, men and women, and above all, between wilderness and civilization.
Beautifully written and historically accurate, Wild Life a highly original tale set at the very edge of civilization, where one woman takes on the untamed world of nature, and in the process, discovers much about the deepest recesses of her very own human nature.
