Kirkus Reviews calls it “inspirational…a heartwarming tale of magic, philosophy, and love”
When was the last time you were enchanted by a bedtime story for grown-ups?
Bear and Girl is just that. It’s the heart-warming tale of a woman who is found unconscious by a spirit bear in the Canadian Rockies. He carries her back to his cabin, and gradually heals her wounds, even as her presence heals his.
But the story behind the story is even more astonishing!
James Behr befriended a woman online, then found to his horror that she was being abused by her partner. Since he didn’t know her real name or where she lived, the only way he could help her was by telling her comforting stories to help her sleep.
That’s how this gentle adventure was written: one line at a time via online chat, as a series of bedtime stories for grown-ups.
Bear and Girl will enchant you, and leave you happy and comforted. Girl is a strong, resilient woman who survives against the odds, and finds her destiny with Bear’s help. Bear is an enchanted, magical creature – a gentle giant with a puckish sense of humor.
You will laugh and cry and find joy and delight in Bear and Girl!

“This is good. Really good, beautiful, and seriously brilliant. It's a little sad, a little funny, and a little sweet. I believe in magic and you've captured that perfectly”
