Touching Spirit Bear
By Ben Mikaelsen
In his Nautilus Award-winning classic Touching Spirit Bear, author Ben Mikaelson tells a powerful coming-of-age story of Cole Matthews, a young man who must confront the effects that violence has had on his life. After violently attacking Peter Driscal in an empty parking lot, Cole is given an alternative to jail time: attending Circle Justice, an alternative program that sends juvenile offenders to a remote Alaskan Island to focus on changing their ways. Cole's journey to redemption begins when he is mauled by a mysterious white bear and left for dead. Through his reflections on his abusive parents, helpless Peter, and his own anger, Cole begins to seek forgiveness and understanding for his actions. Ben Mikaelson paints a vivid picture of a juvenile offender, examining the roots of his anger without absolving him of responsibility for his actions. Touching Spirit Bear is a poignant testimonial to the power of pain and its ability to lead to healing. Discover this classic story of transformation and redemption on the shelves of 2nd and Charles!
