Bressanone: I Came to Find You

Have you heard of Bressanone?

Through music and human nature, it tells the story of a pack of wolves slaughtered in great numbers on the prairie.

Taking two years to write, it strikes at people's hearts with raw emotion and an anguished plea:

In the Yukon River basin, the wolves watch their companions breathe their last beneath human guns.

There is no fear in their eyes, only a quiet calm: the pride of the prairie, their untamed nature.

While they can still run across the prairie and their blood has not yet run dry, they look back. Unable to lick their companions' blood, they carry their souls with them as they roam the world.

I love this song deeply, and I love the wolves' loyalty to their mates. “Wolves travel in pairs. Without the mate at their side, they wander alone, carrying their mate's soul as they roam the world.”

This novel is a story set in Bressanone… A slaughtered pack of wolves… “Born in pairs, they travel in pairs, and die in pairs.”
