Publisher's Synopsis
Harlan Wilder is past middle age, alone, stubborn, and meeting himself for the first time. Typical for him, it's taken a motorcycle accident on an isolated road among frozen Georgia mountains to force the introduction. Now stranded in the cold on a steep incline, and with no way of retrieving his bike, he treks downhill in search of an easier way back to civilization. But things turn bizarre for this angry Southerner when he's thrust into the company of an extraordinary black bear who unnerves him with her rude critiques of his unexamined dogmas about life and reality. She dissects his self-delusions, along with every other conclusion he's drawn about anything and leads him on a journey of self-discovery he wasn't expecting. Just who is this bear? Things are about to get interesting for a man who's convinced he has everything figured out.
