About the Author

In honor of the restoration of wolves back into Yellowstone National Park in 1995, Gloria has become a passionate advocate for better protection for the wolves and grizzly bears that call the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem home. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) is one of the last remaining large, nearly intact ecosystems located within the Northern Rocky Mountains. She has been involved with wolf issues and wolf organizations for over ten years. Gloria is committed to using her voice for these voiceless animals in the constant battle for better protection and coexistence. A lifetime observer of nature, she spends most of her free time studying the behavior of wolves and grizzly bears in the wild, quietly earning herself a coveted ethology background. Through her observations and personal stories, Gloria hopes to better inform the public on understanding the full importance of top predators to the ecosystem.

I would actually like to take the time to thank the author. I was very pleasantly surprised by the level of details about the wolves and how their lives are. Your book was just beyond amazing. Although I am not a good reader, I spent a few hours reading and studying your book. I was so indulged in it that I couldn't stop.

As a wanderer myself, I found Gloria's book very intriguing. It helped me explore the parts of the world where I had never been before. Her love for the wolf made me realize how important it is to love and protect the animals around us. She taught me the basic rule of life; love can conquer everything. So grateful to her for sharing her inspiring story. – Darell Dowrey Author of Killing for custody

Your book was just what I was looking for; a great way to quickly and painlessly understand the importance of endangered species, especially wolves. I have been trying to find a good animal aid like your book and haven't had much success. Thanks for filling this niche!

"926 was one of the most resilient wolves I have ever known, having overcome so many losses throughout her life and not only surviving but nurturing the growth of her Lamar Canyon Pack anew. While we all mourn the loss of 926 and so many others who've been taken from us before their time, let's also remember the joy they gave us and the continued hope they represent."

"Yellowstone Wolf Ancestry" - Leo Leckie

"This is a remarkable book. But there's more. The poetic language employed in telling this story enhanced the emotion and beauty of this piece. Creative diction like this excites me; it was what I liked best in this book. There were beautiful illustrations depicting certain events in the story, and at the end of the book, there were pictures as far back as Gloria's tadpole-catching days; there were even pictures of the beloved 926F."
