Publisher's Summary

If you think having a bad day at the office is spilling a hot cup of coffee on your lap, try starting your day by losing a black bear cub. Like literally..."Oh crap, I just lost a black bear cub!"

That's what life was like for Daryl Ratajczak, an aspiring wildlife biologist who was thrown into the world of rescuing orphaned or injured wild black bear cubs.

Working for a small nonprofit black bear rehab center outside of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Daryl had an adventurous beginning to his career. As the first full-time manager of the soon-to-be Appalachian Bear Rescue, it turns out the bears taught him more about life than he ever could have imagined. These masterful short stories about bears and life as a wildlife biologist are not only true but end up teaching us valuable lessons about how we should live our everyday lives.
