Book Synopsis
In the Shadow of the Bear chronicles the author’s return, after a forty-year absence, to the site of his childhood summer vacations at Little Glen Lake in northwestern Lower Michigan’s Leelanau peninsula. 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.
