The Bear by Andrew Krivak

What a beautiful fable! A young girl and her father are the last of the human race in the far future. The girl's father teaches her everything he knows about survival in anticipation of the day when she is alone. After her father passes while on a journey, it is up to the girl to find her way back home again. She is accompanied by a bear who helps her find her way through the wilderness.

There is so much depth to this equisite novel. There is the basic story but underlying it are layers of mystical folklore.
