Story
Meet Alex, a photographer on a holiday with his family in the south of France. Meet Abe, a music producer with a baby on the way. Two men - both fathers, husbands, and sons - take us on a journey you will never forget. The finest actors of their generation, Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Sunday in the Park with George) and Tony Award nominee Tom Sturridge (1984), had audiences roaring to their feet during the sold-out Broadway engagement. Now Sea Wall / A Life, a dramatic exploration of transformative love and devastating loss, comes to Audible.

Raw emotions journey
Reviewed: 01-03-24
This was an interesting exploration of raw emotions during family relationships. The performers did a nice job. There was too much profanity for my taste. Generally, I find that authors who resort to using excessive profanity in their works, lack real writing talent.

Story
For six years Jim and Jamie Dutcher lived intimately with a pack of wolves, gaining their trust as no one has before. In this book the Dutchers reflect on the virtues they observed in wolf society and behavior. Each chapter exemplifies a principle, such as kindness, teamwork, playfulness, respect, curiosity, and compassion. Their heartfelt stories combine into a thought-provoking meditation on the values shared between the human and the animal world.

This fulfilled my expectation and was very educational about wolves and their social orders. This is a great book if you want to learn more about the delicate relationships within the wolf pack.
