"Have you ever been stalked by a bear? Pat Toth-Smith has and lives to tell her story. Her book brings the outdoors indoors, the untamed animals into your living room, and tantalizes your imagination by her brilliant storytelling. Her exploits, combined with the award-winning photography, create an experience to behold; reading that is not just for the passing of time." Suzanne Gattis, Pacific Book Review "Wild Among Us" is full of the hazardous encounters Pat, a young female photographer has faced in the field. Experiences of being cornered by two large bull moose, growled at by a grizzly mom protecting her cub, and a prolonged stare down by an over 1.000-pound grizzly bear on a remote trail in Alaska. Her encounters not only include the perils associated with stalking wildlife but also the sometimes-dangerous situations she navigates as she travels the highways alone with human predators. In the end it all seems worth it when we see the results of her labors, the stunning wildlife photos, the vivid observations of the animals' behavior and the hard-earned knowledge gleaned of the job. Pat has always lived by the motto, " I always feel it is worse for me to allow my fears to stop me from doing what I want to do, then to do it and fail."
