Stories of the Mother Bear

By Myrtle Brooks

"An immersive and insightful drama." -Readers' Favorite

In Jackson, Wyoming, a cache of documents discovered in a deceased resident's attic confirms a childhood vision journalist Bill Larkin experienced while on a camping trip in Grand Teton National Park. Learning his memories of a mother grizzly, who transforms the lives of those who cross her path, were not imaginary, Bill embarks on a life journey, intertwining his autobiographical Stories of the Mother Bear with current events; foremost, the Vietnam War and its aftermath.

The deceased, Rufus Headrick, and his family were black cowboys. His grandfather, a freed slave, kept a journal from his days as a Texas cattle hand through the family's ever-westward travels to Teton. Portrayed is a large, engraved brass key, yet to be found, which a Kiowa youth gave Rufus' father along the Chisholm Trail. Who is the estate's rightful heir? And what connection does the Headrick Family have with the Mother Bear?
