Like Wolves

By (author): Rosa Laborde

To celebrate their anniversary, Sam surprises his wife Vera by bringing her back to the spot of their rural honeymoon fifty years ago. Now surrounded by parking lots and software buildings, Vera is shocked to discover that the once charming bed and breakfast has transformed into the last place on earth she wants to be. When Sam has an unexpected heart attack, Vera is hopelessly stuck. A strange visitor and the arrival of her daughters force her to reevaluate the sum of her life and the relationships she has formed with her family. Like Wolves is a black comedy about marriage, dreams, choices, and finally letting go.
