- Wildwood / by Florence, Elinor,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Broke and desperate, single mother Molly Bannister of Phoenix, Arizona, accepts the stern condition laid down in her great-aunt's will: to spend one year in an abandoned farmhouse deep in the remote backwoods of northern Alberta. If she does, she will be able to sell the farm and fund her four-year-old daughter Bridget's badly needed medical treatments. With grim determination, Molly teaches herself the basic pioneer skills, chopping firewood and washing her clothes with melted snow. But her greatest perils come from the brutal wilderness itself, from blizzards to grizzly bears. Only the journal written by her courageous great-aunt, the land's original homesteader, inspires her to struggle on. But there's another obstacle to her success: an idealistic young farmer, Colin McKay, wants to thwart Molly's strategy to sell her great-aunt's farm to an oil company. Will Molly be cheated out of her inheritance after all? Will she and Bridget survive the savage winter, and what comes next? Not only their financial future, but their very lives are at stake."--- Subjects: Psychological fiction.; Domestic fiction.; Single mothers; Inheritance and succession; Wilderness survival;

- Long range / by Box, C. J.,author.;
"When Joe Pickett is asked to join the rescue efforts for the victim of a startling grizzly attack, he reluctantly leaves his district behind. One survivor of the grizzly's rampage tells a bizarre story, but just as Joe begins to suspect the attack is not what it seems, he is brought home by an emergency on his own turf. Someone has targeted a prominent local judge, shooting at him from a seemingly impossible distance. While the judge was not hit, his wife is severely wounded, and it is up to Joe to find answers -- and the shooter. The search for the would-be assassin becomes personal when Joe's best friend, Nate Romanowski -- just as he's adjusting to the arrival of his first child -- falls under suspicion for the crime. It's a race against the clock as Joe tries to clear Nate's name and identify the real shooter, all while deciphering the grizzly encounter. Beset by threats both man-made and natural, the two men must go to great lengths to keep their loved ones safe."--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Pickett, Joe (Fictitious character); Attempted assassination; Attempted murder; Bear attacks; Game wardens;

- Ma petite boule d'amour / by Dubé, Jasmine.; Trudel, Jean-Luc,1959-;
Grand album au cours duquel on narre comment un vieil ours mal léché, vivant seul dans sa tanière depuis que sa compagne l'a quitté, répond un jour à l'appel d'un ourson abandonné entendu en rêve. Accompagné par une mouche prénommée Tsé-Tsé qui le guide jusqu'à l'ourson, le gros ours atteint finalement cette vallée asséchée vue en rêve pour y découvrir et adopter le frêle animal qu'il réanime grâce à la Grande Ourse. La constellation lui fournit ainsi par magie le lait de la Voie lactée, les framboises célestes et l'aide d'une bonne étoile filante. Le chant et les caresses du grizzly font le reste et l'ourson entre alors dans la vie de l'ours devenu père d'une petite boule d'amour. --SDM.LSC- Subjects: Ours; Nuit; Rêves; Père et enfant; Adoption; Bears; Night; Dreams; Adoption;
