Description
Cole Matthews, a troubled teen, is given a radical alternative to jail: banishment to a remote Alaskan island through a Circle Justice program rooted in Native American traditions. His year of isolation takes a brutal turn when he's attacked by a mysterious spirit bear, leaving him to confront his violent past and the deep-seated anger that fuels it. As Cole grapples with his survival and the consequences of his actions, he embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery and healing. This powerful novel explores themes of violence, forgiveness, and the transformative potential of nature and ancient wisdom.
