Coles Bear and Girl: A Gentle Story of Hope and Comfort at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Bear and Girl is a gentle, allegorical novel about fear, companionship, and the quiet work of healing. Set in a remote mountain landscape, the story follows a wounded woman and an unexpected friend whose presence helps her feel safe again. Told in calm, intimate chapters, the novel unfolds as a series of conversations and stories - sometimes playful, sometimes reflective - in which reassurance matters more than answers, and patience matters more than solutions. Though the book acknowledges real pain, readers consistently describe it as comforting, hopeful, and deeply humane . It is not a novel about spectacle or confrontation, but about how trust is built slowly, through attention, kindness, and shared moments. Bear and Girl began as a set of bedtime stories written to help someone living in fear rest and sleep. Over time, those stories became this novel - one intended to be read at an unhurried pace, and to leave readers feeling steadier rather than shaken. This is adult literary fiction for readers and book clubs drawn to stories of resilience, friendship, and emotional presence.
