In this powerful debut memoir from the author of The Bear and The Last Neanderthal, Claire Cameron confronts the rare genetic mutation that gave her cancer by investigating an equally rare and terrifying event--a predatory bear attack.

Deeply researched and profoundly moving. . . . I could not put it down. --John Vaillant

A remarkable achievement that teaches us not only how to survive, but how to thrive. --David A. Robertson

When Claire Cameron was nine years old, her father, a professor of Old English, told her he was dying. In the years after he was gone, she found a way to overcome her grief among the rivers and lakes of Algonquin Park, a vast Canadian wilderness area. Around that same time, in 1991, a couple was killed by a black bear in a rare predatory attack in the park. Claire was shocked and, never fully sure of what happened, the attack haunted her.
