Tension is high in Big Sky Country: the last wild bison in the world are being slaughtered when they wander outside Yellowstone National Park and onto land where cattle graze.

When veterinarian Jed McCane gets caught in the battle between cattlemen and environmentalists, he's faced with a choice that could devastate his life. It's up to a young buffalo activist—and the majestic, shaggy beasts she risks her life to defend—to lead Jed to discover what he must do. But will the cost to Jed be too high?

"An outstanding, thought provoking novel. The best books are those that are educational and entertaining at the same time. I read Buffalo Medicine at the same time government officials were contemplating allowing the massacre of 300 Yellowstone buffalo. While April Christofferson is a fiction writer, she uses real facts and real locations in this book. Sometimes Buffalo Medicine was so realistic I found myself reading late into the night just to get a better understanding of the true Yellowstone drama and its likely outcome. If you're an environmentalist or a wildlife advocate, Buffalo Medicine will be your next favorite novel. And even if you don't have strong feelings about nature or animals, you'll still love this book. It's well written, unpredictable, and highly addictive." –Marty Essen, award winning author of Cool Creatures, Hot Planets
