This wasn’t a pet that had escaped or some hybrid wolf, it was a pure wild wolf that seemed to want a connection. He found the wolf and the odd thing was that the animal was relaxed and tolerant. Nick threw on his skis and went to investigate. A few days later he spotted the wolf on the ice. It all started one day when he spotted some tracks in the snow that looked to be of a wolf.

While Lean In is a book about advice for women and the workplace, it also serves as a pseudo-memoir where Sandberg outlines her pathway to a successful professional life starting with her childhood, descriptions of her mentors, highlights of critical moments in her college and post college years, and the variety of jobs she held before COO of Facebook.
