Only Half Wild doesn't just tell you Crawford and Crocket were close — it hands you the receipts, one at a time, until you're the one doing the arithmetic on how two people this different stayed this tethered. Crocket meets the world with "Oh, hell yeah" and a grin that's already three moves ahead of yours — a man whose delight looks disarmingly simple until you realize he's read the whole room before that grin even lands. That's the Cheshire Cat in him: warmth with a blade folded inside it, gone before you can pin down what he actually gave away. Crawford spent decades on the other side of that grin, trusted with what he almost never said out loud, and this book is her accounting of it.

What she never quite finishes counting is the parallels — a bond still uncovering unfathomable parallels, the book calls it, and it means exactly that: not a friendship she's explaining, but one she's still excavating, page by page, right in front of you. Two people built from opposite material — his land, his creatures, his people against her roads and her restlessness — who somehow kept finding more of themselves in each other, not less. Only Half Wild is the record of that dig, still going, still turning up more than either of them expected to find.

… a book worth keeping.
