At the end of the summer, a moose finds herself alone in the forest. She has just lost her calf, probably to a bear. Now she must find a mate. Once pregnant again, she will endure months of bone-chilling winter until she delivers in the spring. She will fiercely protect her new calf from predators and teach him everything he needs to know to survive. And then suddenly one day, around his first birthday, she will sever their deep bond and push him toward independence just before she gives birth again. This is the story of a mother's journey: an inspirational tale of the struggle to survive and the wonder of life, set against a backdrop of stunning Canadian natural wilderness beauty.
