As Andrews (Badluck Way, 2014) states near the end of this absorbing tale, the narrative is braided from research, experience, and invention. Coming from a background in ranching, Andrews had a feel for the land and an appreciation for the wild animals sharing the Montana landscape. After growing disenchanted with ranching, he signed on with People and Carnivores, a nonprofit conservation group that mitigates conflicts between people and large predators. It was while he was experimenting with ways to protect a corn field with electric wire that he became aware of Millie, a female grizzly nursing two cubs. What follows is a lyrical exploration of an attempt to accommodate two disparate goalsâthe dairy farmer's need for the corn to feed his cattle and the grizzly's need to eat and fatten up during the short Montana summer. The resulting saga of the fence, the bears, and the cruel tricks fate can play read like a grand Great Plains tragedy in the Faulknerian mode. Andrews' empathic writing turns Millie's story into the embodiment of modern compromise with apex predators. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
