Bear's Embrace, The

A True Story of Surviving a Grizzly Bear Attack

by Patricia Van Tighem

tagged: personal memoirs, women
Description

The Bear's Embrace is a candid, moving, and beautifully written account of survival and recovery. Although grizzly attacks on humans are rare, they are often fatal, and PatriciaĆ­s reconstruction of the attack itself is vivid and disturbing. As medical professionals, Patricia and her husband bring a unique perspective to their time in hospital, and their observations from the other side of the fence are illuminating.
