Julie's decision to return home to her people is not an easy one. But after many months in the wilderness, living in harmony with the wolves that saved her life, she knows the time has come.
Julie is not prepared, however, for all the changes that she finds. Her father has forsaken many of the old Eskimo traditions. He has given up his sled dogs for a snowmobile, and now looks after the musk oxen that serve as the village's income. He will do anything to protect them — even shoot any wolves that might threaten the herd. Julie knows that, like her father, she must find a way to reconcile the old ways with the new. But how can she do that without putting her beloved wolves in danger?
When Julie returns to her father's Eskimo village, she struggles to find a way to save her beloved wolves in a changing Arctic world and she falls in love with a young Siberian man.

I was OBSESSED with the first book in this series as a kid, but somehow I had NO idea there were follow up books? I really don't know how I missed that, but here I am reading this for the first time at 27 years old and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it.
I know as a kid, I would have liked this book - especially the portion that actually had the wolves in it. But as an adult, I'm looking at this through the eyes of someone who is very leery about white authors putting words in native folks' mouths. The relationship between Ellen and Julie was really touching, but parts of the book felt very stereotypical. I wasn't sure how to feel about Julie trying to "save her father from the white man's ways" and coax her village back into a healthy relationship with nature. That just seems very trope-y and I'm worried about the inaccuracies that I learned were so baked into the first book.
All in all, it's a good story about reconciliation between cultures and between family members with some fun talking to wolves. But I'm just nervous about hearing these simplified stories from white authors. I'd love to hear from any goodreads reviewers who are actually Inupiaq or Yupik and can speak to whether the story is respectful or not. Until then, I'll just kind of swim around in this tentative enjoyment and try to take everything with a grain of salt.
