Synopsis

Eat, Pray, Love meets Marley & Me in this moving, eye-opening memoir that chronicles the first year of an extraordinary bond between a woman and an orphaned coyote, revealing powerful lessons about nature, love, and life. When city girl Shreve Stockton set out on a Vespa ride from San Francisco to New York, she expected an adventure—but not the one that would change her life forever. Detoured by fate, she found herself in rural Wyoming, falling in love with a trapper and working hard as a ranch hand. There, she met Charlie: an orphaned coyote pup who wandered into her world and made her cabin his home. The Daily Coyote is the extraordinary true story of their first year together. In a culture where coyotes are often feared and hunted, Stockton and Charlie navigate skepticism, danger, and profound joy, forging a bond that challenges assumptions about wild animals, companionship, and what it means to belong. Along the way, Stockton discovers deeper truths about love, resilience, and living in harmony with the natural world. Based on Stockton’s award-winning blog of the same name—hailed by Vanity Fair and the Los Angeles Times—this moving visual memoir documents Charlie’s first year in stunning full-color photography. Each month’s entry is accompanied by rich images of Charlie as he grows from adorable pup to wily adult, alongside Stockton’s tomcat, Eli, and set against the wide-open landscapes of Wyoming. At once tender, surprising, and unforgettable, The Daily Coyote is a celebration of unlikely journeys and the wild connections that can change everything.
