Paperback, 142pg

An 'All Creatures Great and Small' transplanted to the Rugged Canadian West, with a multicultural theme and Contemporary Edge. Doc Henry Steiner is an Old Saw Bones Redneck Veterinarian with a mysterious past. Into his one-person, over-worked, Backwater practice traipses a young First Nations woman (Roberta Collineur, Ph.D., D.V.M.) who is fresh out of Vet School, scientifically talented AND tied to her Aboriginal Cultural Roots. The volatile personal, political and professional mismatch is held together by their compassion for animals, rugged individualism and a need to redeem past family wrongs never shared by friends or colleagues. The setting is Knife Bend, Alberta, a town full of 21st century pioneers and colorful eccentrics, whose town is about to be 'Aspenized' by an Eastern-based Multinational Corporation. The Corporation is led by a suave and clever Veterinarian/Lawyer with a personal score to settle with "Old Doc Henry," and a newly discovered obsession to acquire the new Native 'Wolf Doctor' as his own personal 'squaw'.
