From the author of THE SNOW CHILD, the million-copy bestseller, BEAR STORY is a novel about the beauty and terror of the Alaskan wilderness, the love between a mother and a daughter, and what it means to face down our fears and survive them.

'Dazzling and moving' Tiffany McDaniel, author of BETTY
'I am enthralled and haunted' Louise Erdrich, author of THE ROUND HOUSE and THE NIGHT WATCHMAN

Birdie's keeping it together, of course she is. So she's a little hungover sometimes on her shifts, and has to bring her daughter Emaleen to work while she waits tables but it's a tough town to be a single mother, and she needs to get by. Maybe the shine is starting to wear off life at Wolverine Lodge. Maybe Birdie's ready for a fresh start.

And then Birdie meets Arthur, who is quieter than most men, but makes her want to listen; who is gentle with Emaleen, and understands Birdie's fascination with the mountains in whose shadow they live. When Arthur asks Birdie and Emaleen to leave the lodge and make a home, just the three of them, in his cabin a plane ride away, Birdie's answer, in a heartbeat, is yes.

Out in the wilderness Birdie's days are harsher and richer than she ever imagined possible. Here, picking berries and swimming in sunlit waters, she will feel truly at one with nature. Here she, and Emaleen, will learn the whole, fearful truth about Arthur.

Bear Story is a daring reimagining of the legend of Beauty and the Beast, that asks the question: can love save us from ourselves?
