This book is based on my time with my late girlfriend. She passed away five years ago. The princess in the story is her with her family. I am the bear who gives up his life as a bear to become a human prince just to be with her because of love. She passed away just before we could get started on the book. I promised myself I would one day finish the book in her honor. I am the author, Don Minenger and I made her co-author, Marta Sitarz.
