Description
From the Dust Jacket
The hero is Thomas Alonzo Rapidan, who at twenty-one has lost the thread of his life. His marriage, a year old, is ruined. His work—at a university—is in a shambles. And so, in despair, he decides he will end his life. Wolf at the Door is the story of the days following that decision—when he puts his wife, Maggie, on the plane for home, gets himself beaten silly in a saloon fight, and takes up with a waitress, Dixie, who may just be able to save him from himself. Wolf at the Door is a novel filled with life and written by a man who has that magical power to make us forget we are reading and believe we are living the events of his book. John Yount writes close to human emotions and makes us know for ourselves what Tom and Maggie and Dixie experience. And by living with them, we, too, experience not only their pain but the joy of their survival.

Shipping
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a two-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
