Riassunto

The Lobo Outback Funeral Home is a novel about commitment - or, rather, the consequences of shirking commitment. Earth First! founder Dave Foreman unfolds the story of burned-out and disillusioned Sierra Club lobbyist Jack Hunter, who leaves Washington, D.C., for his family's cabin in southwestern New Mexico's Diablo National Forest. Convinced there is nothing he or anyone else can do to stop humankind's war on nature, he returns to his old trade of horseshoeing, determined not to become involved again in conservation issues.
Nevertheless, he finds himself falling for the leader of the Diablo Wilderness Committee, Dr. MaryAnne McClellan, a biologist who is as pretty as she is tough. She tries to draw him into the campaign to protect the Diablo Wilderness Area from Forest Service logging plans, and she also wants to involve him when a pact of lobos - Mexican wolves - are reintroduced to this wilderness bordering a small ranching community. Hunter refuses to commit to either MaryAnne or the lobos, however, and he is soon caught up in the bloody consequences of his cynicism, discovering the true cost of not taking a stand for what he loves.
