LAURA CARPINI

BEAR SPEAKS

 

 

 

“He fills in the empty spaces of time when I feel lonely and deserted and by myself.  To actually see Him embodied is shocking and wonderful but rare … That’s when I fall to my knees from the joy of it all, and let my heart beat with ‘thank you, thank you, thank you.’  I like those times.”

 

 Out in the Montana wilderness, alone, your guide can come from the most unlikely of sources.   For the young protagonist in Bear Speaks her tutor comes in the form of a grizzly bear.  Sometimes terrifying, often fantastical, her adventure is always imbued with love.
