Wolf Woman by Beatrice Wolfe

Beatrice Wolfe’s story is like those of so many of her Indigenous brothers and sisters. It’s the story of rejection and deceit. It’s the story of abuse and shame. It’s the story that many of her friends, family members, and her beautiful mom were never able to tell because their lives were cut short. She tells her story so that people can watch out for women and young girls who are being exploited, not because they choose to be, but because life dealt them a bad hand.
