ISBN: 9780375421310.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn extraordinary story of survival and recovery by a woman who was attacked by a grizzly bear.\n\nOn a sunny fall day in 1983, Patricia Van Tighem and her husband, Trevor, began a hiking trip in the Canadian Rockies with a two-thousand-foot climb through rocks and forest. The next morning, in a landscape dusted by snow, they crossed paths with a grizzly bear–and their lives were forever changed.\n\nThat Van Tighem survived at all is a miracle, and her account of the attack is vivid and startling. But her recovery was just as disturbing: Her numerous reconstructive surgeries were painful; her facial\ndisfigurement isolated her; and the nightmares that haunted her carried their own psychological burden. Yet she was eventually able to accept her unthinkable experiences, and to put her life back together as a survivor, a wife, and a mother.\n\nWith honesty and eloquence, The Bear’s Embrace tells of the unpredictability of life, of bravery, terror, rage and love, of what it means to look and feel different in a culture that values perfection. Uncommonly affecting, often astonishing, The Bear’s Embrace is an inspiring story of human\nperseverance and self-knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pantheon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965053759541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0375421319","price":25.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780375421310_ee03c526-e2c2-46bd-906a-0ec1e76d8b2a.jpg?v=1792558340","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-bears-embrace-a-true-story-of-survival-9780375421310","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
