The strange combination of a magnificent bear and the murder of Callie's and Newton's childhood art teacher bring the two together. This is a double mystery in that Callie is protecting a mother bear, who is nothing if not the force of nature herself. Complicating matters, both Newton and police officer Pete Myrick are in love with Callie, and the police detective has his own history with the forest ranger. In this suspense novel with an edge of magic realism, nature and people alike may be said to be wounded, craggy, and sublime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNovelist David Maine writes that in this \"backdrop of Pennsylvania's mountain wilderness\" is \u003ci\u003e\"a love story that manages to be both contemporary and timeless.\" \u003c\/i\u003eMargot Livesey, bestselling New York Times author states that \"Melissa Croghan writes with grace and ease\" in this \"deeply suspenseful novel\" with a \"vivid cast of characters.\" Livesey's \"first impulse on finishing 'The Tracking Heart' was to set out in search of Callie and Newton and especially he bear.\" The gold standard of critics, \u003ci\u003eThe Kirkus Review\u003c\/i\u003e describes the \"lost loves and covered-up crimes,\" in this book that \"moves back and forth between the characters in the park and Callie and Newton's former hometown\" to create a deeply \"satisfying\" story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melissa Croghan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0984749705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780984749706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nepaug Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2012","brand":"Melissa Croghan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483767386367,"sku":"9780984749706","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6126d06-4a64-4660-9cb5-67e6338623e1.jpg?v=1778040516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-tracking-heart-melissa-croghan-9780984749706","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
