Kate Cunningham is facing the opportunity of a lifetime. As a zoo photographer, she’s spent years photographing animals in carefully controlled environments, but now National Geographic has dangled an irresistible prize: If Kate can snag a unique photo of a legendary bear in Grand Teton National Park, they just might publish it.

It’s the kind of challenge Kate has been waiting for, and she’s eager to prove herself in the wild.

With more enthusiasm than experience, Kate soon realizes that capturing an image of this bear isn’t as simple as she hoped. Fortunately, she crosses paths with Grant Cooper, a seasonal park ranger who knows the terrain–and the bears–better than anyone. His tracking skills could be exactly what Kate needs to succeed, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes. But they’re not the only ones with an interest in the park’s most famous bear.

And his motives are far from innocent.

My Thoughts on Capture the Moment

Capture the Moment is a wonderful, fun novel that you don’t want to miss from an amazing author that I love!! This is book one of a new series that is about the National Parks.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It read quickly. The characters are wonderful. Although I’m not sure I want to meet the bear. I’ve actually never seen a live and in the wild bear before. Though black bears are coming back to our area, there aren’t that many yet. One has been spotted about two hours from us, though, and I can’t wait to see one in the wild!

Maisie is such a fun character and a bright spot in the book.

Grant is a teacher nine months of the year, and during the summer, he is a park ranger. This summer, he has to stay in the more populated areas. He prefers secluded, fewer people, more animals areas. I’m with him on this. I’d rather be around animals than people. Introverts unite.

Kate (also known as Zoo Girl) is off to get the best photo this season. She wants to be published. She’s a zoo photographer, but she’s hoping for more. Join her as she sets off to capture animals in the wild!

You’re going to love this book! I cannot wait for more in this series!

A Spark that Lit a Story

By Suzanne Woods Fisher

Capture the Moment (Revell—May 6, 2025)

Inspiration can strike in the most unexpected places—like a gift shop in Grand Teton National Park. While browsing, I struck up a conversation with a college student who had never set foot outside Alabama until her mom dropped her off for a summer job in the park. One minute, she was home in the Deep South; the next, she was surrounded by towering peaks and moose crossings. Talk about a culture shock.

That conversation lit a spark that eventually became my National Parks Summers series. I couldn’t stop thinking about the fascinating mix of people who work seasonally in national parks. You’ve got fresh-faced college kids on their first big adventure, retirees finally living their bucket-list dreams, and everyone in between. These parks aren’t just natural wonders—they’re crossroads for people from all walks of life, all chasing something unique.

In Capture the Moment, I wanted to explore what happens when people and landscapes collide. Kate Cunningham, a determined zoo photographer, swaps enclosures for the wilds of Grand Teton, chasing an elusive bear and her own sense of purpose. Along the way, Kate meets Grant Cooper, a rugged park ranger with a knack for tracking and a talent for keeping her on her toes.

National parks are more than just beautiful backdrops—they’re places where people find themselves, lose themselves, and sometimes stumble into something extraordinary.

Maybe even love.
