Synopsis
The Loop
A pack of wolves makes a sudden, bloody return to the sleepy Rocky Mountain ranching town of Hope, Montana, where a century ago they were slaughtered in their thousands. Now shielded by law as an endangered species, they reawake an ancient hatred that will tear apart a family and ultimately the whole community.
The Loop is the story of Helen Ross, a twenty-nine-year-old biologist sent alone into this hostile place to protect the wolves from those who seek to destroy them. It tells of her struggle for self-esteem and survival, and charts her dangerous love affair with the eighteen-year-old son of her most powerful opponent, brutal and charismatic rancher Buck Calder.
From its breathtaking first chapter to its devastating climax, The Loop is an epic tale of primal passion and redemptive love, exploring man's conflict with nature and the wild within himself.
The Horse Whisperer
In the still of a snow-covered morning in upstate New York, a girl out riding her horse is hit by a 40-ton truck. Though horribly injured, both thirteen-year-old Grace Maclean and her horse Pilgrim survive. But the impact on their lives and the lives of those who love them is devastating.
Grace is the only child of a prominent New York magazine editor, Annie Graves, and her lawyer husband Robert. In a way which none of them at first understands, their destiny comes to depend upon Pilgrim's. So mutilated and traumatized is he that even the vet who saved his life now wishes he hadn't. Annie refuses to have him destroyed, sensing that if she does, something in Grace will die too.
She hears about a man in Montana, a 'whisperer' who is said to have the gift of healing troubled horses. Abandoning her job, Annie sets off across the continent like some latter-day pioneer, with Grace and Pilgrim, to find him. The man's name is Tom Booker and he lives on the Rocky Mountain Front, a place of daunting beauty, where the high plains run smack into a hundred-million-year-old wall of limestone. Here, under the massive Montana sky, all their lives are changed forever.
At once an epic love story and a gripping adventure, The Horse Whisperer weaves an extra-ordinary tale of healing and redemption and marks the début of a stunning new voice in contemporary fiction.
