Genre: Romance
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


Ms. Gaffney takes an unusual concept - a man raised in the wild by wolves - and drops him into the family of a late 19th century scientist. The scientist's purpose - to observe and document the wild man. What no one had reckoned on that the man, though raised in the wild, was still human, albeit with different sensibilities. Aside from the wonderful romance, the reader learns to see the natural world of plants and animals from a very unusual point of view. I just had the privilege of re-reading Wild at Heart. I recommend it highly.
