Bear and Girl is a book that can prompt thoughtful conversations about safety, friendship, loneliness, faith, healing, and the strange forms grace can take.

If you would like to read and discuss this story with your book club or reading group, a free Discussion Guide is available.

It includes:

• a short note from the author about the unusual real-life origins of the book
• a set of thematic discussion Doorways to help groups enter the story from different angles
• facilitator Lifelines to help restart conversation if it stalls
• optional suggestions to help create the right mood for discussion

The Guide is designed to open conversation, not control it.

If you’d like to preview the materials for your group, please email:

If your group selects Bear and Girl, signed bookplates may also be available on request.
