Joshua — Don Hepler

A determined young girl loses her entire family in a single snap of a tiny piece of metal. A guilty cowboy roams the wilderness in an effort to confront his own personal demons. A cocky rich boy from the East learns some hard lessons while becoming a man. These three have nothing in common except the implacable wrath of a renegade bear, crippled as a cub and in constant pain. This ferocious and unforgettable creature will change each of these young people's lives forever, in ways as stark and powerful as the frontier itself. Don Hepler has created a gripping tale of terror and tenacity in an untamed and uncompromising land.
