- Courte biographie
- Jennifer was born in England, but spent her formative teenage years in Trinidad. After graduating from the University of the West Indies in 1970, she returned to England and married a Trinidadian. A racist attack by Skinheads motivated her and her husband to emigrate to Canada in 1979 where they hoped for a better life for their mixed-race children. RED WOLF is her first published novel.

I especially liked how Adam/Hawk's story was interspersed with those of two osprey's quest to reproduce successfully, symbolically connecting Hawk's desire to survive with White Crest and Three Talon's desire for healthy offspring.
There are many books out there about kids with cancer. I think this is the first I've come across, though, which directly ties that cancer to environmental causes, and I hope that many more may follow. While this is an important story, at the same time, I am unsure if children would find it a compelling one. Dance, through Adam/Hawk, often takes on a lecturing or teaching tone which might turn off some readers.
