Marion Dane Bauer
Marion Dane Bauer was encouraged to become a writer by an aunt. Her first book, SHELTER FROM THE WIND, was published in 1976. Her novel ON MY HONOR, about a boy struggling with his part in the drowning death of a friend, was a Newbery Honor Book in 1987.

COMING OUT FROM THE SILENCE.
Praise
"Beautifully written and faithful to wolves' behavior... Bauer portrays the wolves' place in the natural world with compassion, respect, and warmth, but this is also the story of any unique individual's struggle to find his or her niche."
