“I didn’t say a thing,” Ama says. She steps onto the hard surface of
the road, yanking on my wrist.

It’s the head of all the wolves, the most dangerous and fearsome of them all. I long for her comfort and wisdom as I take this giant step, but I’m on my own, with only Ama, who seems none too friendly.
