Stripes of the Sidestep Wolf--#3 finished

The tough life of a small town in Australia that has been passed by the highway and is slowly dying.  The story revolves around a husband wife and their son.  The husband just kind of lost it & has quit working life saying God will provide.  Wife struggles working and son has hard time finding work too & doesn't want to move out of town like many others do.  The town is near a volcano that is not active & while he is there collecting wood, sees a wolf with stripes.  He mentions this to a kind of crazy girl and she researches it as a thylacine, a Tasmanian tiger that is now believed to be extinct.  A good read with interesting characters that also makes you think about these areas/small towns that are slowly dying out.

I have posted it on PBS, it is the only copy so I hope at some point it will get ordered & mailed out.
