Summers with the Bears: Six Seasons in the North Woods
by Author Jack Becklund

A delightfully heartwarming account of the unique bond one man and his wife share with the bears in their backyard, unraveling the possibilities a human-ursine friendship can transcend. Told in the tradition of James Herriot or Born Free, this is a poignant story that reinforces the notion of humankind and all of its creatures being able to live peacefully with each other, through understanding and respect.
