Only the most peculiar fate could link the wealthy Ricconni family of New York with the dirt-poor Powells of the Georgia mountains.
But a strange iron sculpture of a bear is about to draw Ursula Powell and Quentin Ricconni together. The two have nothing in common except the power that the Bear has in both their lives. The sculpture, which now sits on Ursula's secluded mountain farm, used to belong to Quentin's father and is worth a fortune. When Quentin arrives in town to reclaim it, he discovers that when it comes to the heart, to destiny, and to fate, price cannot be measured in dollars - no matter how many millions.
