Shadow of the Wolves by P.B. Roberts

It is the year 1922. A little girl is found abandoned and left to die in the Tennessee swamplands. A brutal and senseless killing that nearly took her young life causes her to internalize the raw and primal instincts of the canis lupus, or wild wolf. Gentle and spiritual in nature, Jennifer matures into womanhood and exhibits the appearance and life of a normal human being. However, beneath the surface and awaiting the perfect trigger, rests raw and primal instincts which are drawn to wild life more than the common civility of the local town business. For her, temptation arrives one night in a form that is both animal and human. It is a night when her husband is away and it becomes a supernatural experience, one that will change things for Jennifer, for her husband, and the entire town – and for the gray wolves who have sought refuge from harm – with help from her. But can she help them without falling prey herself? And what about the child she may be carrying – the one a local doctor told her was not possible? Is it human or a combination of her deepest desires? What would she want it to be?
