A note left on a car windshield, the death of an old dog, and the author finds himself back on the Lakota reservation where he traveled more than a decade before with the tribal elder Dan. The touching, funny, and unforgettable journey that ensues takes the reader deep into reservation boarding-school mysteries, the dark confines of sweat lodges, and lonely Native homesteads far back in the Dakota hills. With characters including Dan's warrior-hearted friend Grover; an odd little dog named Charles Bronson; and Big Orv, an elder who went to prison to protect his son, Nerburn's engrossing narrative evokes the Native American way of teaching and learning with a depth that few outsiders ever experience.
The Wolf at Twilight will touch readers with its story and forever change the way they look at our country, our history and the people who first inhabited this land.
