Life doesn't wait for tears to finish. Eighteen-year-old Roxana Welhaven has lived her life by this motto. When her mother is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Roxana swallows her tears and vows to do whatever is necessary to save her. Even if it means making a deal with a talking polar bear. The bear offers to cure her mother, but only if Roxana lives with him for one year. When she agrees, the bear whisks Roxana through a portal to another world and gives her lavish accommodations in an enchanted castle. Although she's determined to serve her year and return home, the impatient and high-strung Roxana finds her heart drawn to the bear's tranquil nature. He's compassionate, clumsy and utterly adorable. He's also a cursed man, trapped inside a bear's body. True love won't be enough to break his enchantment. To save him, Roxana must embark on a treacherous quest to find his captor, a journey that will lead her east of the sun and west of the moon. A retelling of the Norwegian fairy tale East of the Sun and West of the Moon.
