Summary of the events of the next chapter in Touching Spirit Bear:
It has been five years since Cole Matthews was banished to the remote Alaskan island. He has come a long way since then. He has learned to control his anger, to live in harmony with nature, and to forgive himself and others. He is now a respected member of the Tlingit tribe, and he works with young people who have been through similar experiences.
One day, Cole receives a letter from Peter Drical, the boy he once attacked. Peter is now a successful businessman, and he wants to thank Cole for helping him to turn his life around. He tells Cole that he is now a better person because of him.
Cole is touched by Peter's letter, and he realizes that he has finally found redemption. He knows that he will never forget the events of the past, but he is grateful for the lessons he has learned. He is now ready to move on with his life and to help others.
I hope this helps!
