About This Item
Grey Stone Books, Vancouver, Canada 2000 hardcover, 5½" x 7¾", with dust jacket AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket Although grizzly bear attacks on humans are rare, they are often fatal, and the author's reconstruction of the attack itself is vivid and disturbing. But equally vivid is her depiction of the complicated process of putting her life back together. The attack leaves her with permanent facial disfigurement, making her re-entry into the world something as painful as the reconstructive surgery she undergoes. She details the long road back to equilibrium with perception and humour.
