Set nearly a year after the conclusion of Hirsch’s 2013 book The Darkest Path — a survival adventure following a former child soldier named Cal Roe caught in the midst of the 2nd American Civil War — this short novel continues the story entirely from the point-of-view of Cal’s faithful dog, Bear. After a tragic loss in the family Cal entrusted him to in The Darkest Path, Bear feels compelled to recall his past — from being brought up on an Arizona farm by an idealistic but conflicted young woman, through the violent rise of The Glorious Path, to the moment he finally meets his friend Cal in the desert. In both the past and the present Bear struggles to survive and find his place in the world while trying to understand man's violence and the loss he seems to experience at every turn. Part prequel and part sequel, The Darkest Path: Bear’s Story is a fast-paced and exciting ride for readers twelve and up.
