The Bear’s Embrace, by Patricia van Tighem
In this book Patricia van Tighem writes her story about the attack on her and her husband by a grizzly bear protecting his food in Waterton National Park in 1983.
This National bestselling book tells the story from the attack of the bear to everything that happens after. The hospital visits, the operations and more importantly the mental stage Patricia was in.
If you expect a book just about the Bear and what happens then you will get disappointed. This book is tells the story about a survivor and everything that happens.
Patricia van Tighem did not have the best of times after the attack things like infections and reconstructive surgery where mayor things in this book but also the metal problems and her depresions and what that did to her family of 4 children.
The Bear’s embrace is a interesting book to read and it will give you a different view of how survivors of things like this feel after it happend. I would say put it on your list of books to read.
And as a final note Patricia died at the age of 47 after an attempted of suicide on December 14, 2005.
