Product Information

Within Cole Matthews lie anger, rage and hate. Cole has been stealing and fighting for years. This time he caught Alex Driscal in the, parking lot and smashed his head against the sidewalk. Now, Alex may have permanent brain damage'and Cole is in the Biggest trouble of his life. Cole is offered Circle Justice: a system based on Native American traditions that attempts to provide healing for the criminal offender, the victim and the, community. With prison as his only alternative, Cole plays along. He says he wants to repent, but in his heart Cole blames his alcoholic mom his, abusive dad, wimpy Alex - everyone but himself - for his situation. Cole receives a one-year banishment to a remote Alaskan island. There, he is mauled by Mysterious white bear of Native American legend. Hideously injured, Cole waits for his death His thoughts shift from from Anger to humility. To survive, he must stop blaming others and take responsibility for his life. Rescuers arrive to save Cole's but it is the attack of the Spirit Bear that may save his soul. Ben Mikaelsen paints a vivid picture of a juvenile offender, examining the roots without absolving solving him of responsibility for his actions, and questioning a society in which angry people make victims of their peers and communities. Touching Spirit Bear is a poignant testimonial to the power of a pain that can destroy, or lead to healing

  • Novel about troubled youth

    This book is so captivating that you will not put it down. Plan to spend a few hours engrossed in the story about Cole, a troubled youth from Minneapolis, who is given his last chance to turn around his life through a Circle Justice program. The young man has to face his anger alone, camped on a remote Alaskan island, for a period of one year. Circle Justice, a practice of Native people's (according to the author), is being used in some judicial systems. Excellent book for those interested in stories about troubled youth, adjudicated youth, and treatment programs. Although a fictional writing, worth reading and mulling.

  • At risk youth - juvenile delinquent

    This book is an awesome portrayal of how left to ones own devices without interference from the outside world can allow a juvenile delinquent to accept responsibility for his own actions and work towards making amends for himself and his victim.
