Interlude — Momma Bear
11.5 — Interlude in The Woods Behind Me
There’s another woman in this story you haven’t met yet.
Not Grandma — the soft one with the pies and the laugh that could heal bruises.
This one came from the other side of the family, and she wasn’t soft at all.
Her name was Momma Bear.
That’s what everyone called her — kids, grandkids, neighbors, probably a few people who feared her too much to use her legal name. She earned that title with her whole chest. She was the kind of woman who protected her people with teeth and claws and stubbornness that could crack concrete.
She loved hard and fought harder.
And when she felt one of her cubs needed protecting, she became a storm in human form.
Chapters One through Three are free. The rest are here for White members — or read the whole memoir on Kindle, $4.99.
