Bear With Me is the story of Clare, a wildlife photographer in a troubled marriage whose work takes her to far-flung places across Canada. Her travels bring her to an unusual personal view of life as she visits her sister, a veterinarian who runs a dog rescue project complete with security force made up of donkeys, and journeys by sled to camp at the edge of the Arctic Ocean. Later, back at home, Clare discovers the different nature of love in old age. Yet the story ends with fireworks, Canadian style.
