Anotace knihy

In the Shadow of the Bear chronicles the authors return, after a forty-year absence, to the site of his childhood summer vacations at Little Glen Lake in northwestern Lower Michigans Leelanau peninsula. The ancient Ojibwa legend that gave a name to the areas most striking geographical feature, the Sleeping Bear Dunes, offers a way of understanding his mothers powerful but sometimes restless force of love and ambition in the family, as well as his fathers quieter, often self-sacrificing love. Chapters devoted to the return to Leelanau, to each of his parents, and to his fathers family culminate in the narrative of his daughters 2005 Leelanau wedding. Jim McGavran tells his story of self-discovery in prose that is alternately frank and lyrical as he recaptures his bewildered yet enchanted boyhood self, filtered through his consciousness of longing and loss, lending the writing a particular poignancy.
