Beyond the Bear by Dan Bigley and Debra McKinney

Surviving a brown bear attack in the wilderness takes a rare and exceptional individual.  Words like persistent, courageous, indomitable come to mind.  One has the expectation of a person with a strong sense of self, a will to live that is in overdrive, and an inner strength that is beyond measure.

Dan Bigley has all these traits in spades.  But he is so much more than a man who survived a bear attack.  He is centered, a down-to-earth man living a balanced life.  His focus is on his family.  He finds joy in the little things.  The bear attack, he tells us, GAVE him all of things that make a life one well lived and not just coasted through.

The bear didn't just blind him, she chewed his face.  Even with the disadvantage of titanium plates in his skull and his eyes pop out of his sockets - Dan found a woman of qualify to love and cherish him, marry him and raise their children in their slice of heaven in Alaska.

This is a story of love and hope... and also one of the more terrifying encounters a man can experience.
