Зеленоглазая пушистая Пруденс — все, что осталось у Лауры от матери… Семейная жизнь не ладится, и мамина питомица становится для девушки воплощением любви и надежды. А когда с ней случается беда, Лаура и ее муж бросают все, чтобы спасти кошку… и спасают свою любовь. Так маленький пушистый клубочек помогает людям растопить лед в своих сердцах.

Когда Гвен впервые прижала к себе пушистый черный комочек, которому никогда не суждено открыть глазки, она поняла: это не жалость, а настоящая любовь! И ради нее многим предстоит пожертвовать: очень скоро из-за выходок Гомера девушке и всем ее кошкам придется искать крышу над головой… Удастся ли слепому Гомеру выжить, когда 11 сентября в двух шагах от их нового дома рухнут башни-близнецы?

Меньше всего Гвен Купер хотела кота. С ее заурядной работой и недавно разбитым сердцем. Но встреча с брошенным трехнедельным слепым котенком, которого Гвен назвала Гомером, переросла в любовь с первого взгляда. Гомер преподал ей самый ценный урок: любовь — это не то, что вы видите своими глазами. Благодаря слепому котенку Гвен изменила свою жизнь и обрела счастье.

Fifteen years earlier, doctors

had warned that Homer—a

tiny, sightless kitten—was

unlikely to survive and probably

wouldn’t have much of a life

even if he did. Miraculously and against all the odds, however,

Homer grew into a feline

dynamo who scaled seven-foot

bookcases with ease, saved his

human mom’s life when he

chased a late-night burglar from their apartment, and rose to

global fame—paving the way

for other special-needs animals

once considered “unadoptable.” Now, only two weeks before

Christmas, with doctors once

again decreeing that Homer

didn’t have much time—that he

wouldn’t even make it to

Christmas Eve—Homer showed everyone that he still had one

more miracle left in him. The

heroic blind cat proved again,

once and for all, that hope and

love aren’t things you see with

your eyes. You see them with your heart. Humorous and heartwarming,

Homer and the Holiday Miracle

will leave you filled with the

true spirit of the season. It’s the

ideal stocking-stuffer for the cat

lover on your list—and the perfect holiday treat for

yourself. Read and rejoice!

The odds had always been

stacked against Homer, the

blind kitten nobody wanted. But

destiny took a hand the day he

met Gwen Cooper, and with the

publication twelve years later of the international bestseller

"Homer’s Odyssey," Homer went

from beloved house cat to

world-wide star. He became the

scourge and darling of the

reporters, photographers, videographers, bloggers, and

radio hosts who clamored to

meet him—dragging his hapless

human behind him as he

greeted fame with his usual joie

de vivre and occasional “catitude.” He became a spokes-

cat for the cause of special-

needs animals everywhere, and

eventually the wise older

mentor to the new special-

needs kitten who would enter his and Gwen’s lives. Most

importantly, Homer taught

those who loved him best how

to live and die with courage and

joy—and left behind a rescue

community of “Homer’s Heroes” that continues to save countless

lives in his name.

By turns humorous and tender,

this beautifully written, 115-

page sequel concludes the

adventures of Homer the Blind Wonder Cat—the fearless feline

who proved that love isn’t

something you see with your

eyes, that even the smallest of

creatures can make a big

difference, and that true love lives forever.

Once in nine lives, something

extraordinary happens...

The last thing Gwen Cooper

wanted was another cat. She

already had two, not to

mention a phenomenally underpaying job and a recently

broken heart. Then Gwen’s

veterinarian called with a story

about a three-week-old eyeless

kitten who’d been abandoned.

It was love at first sight. Everyone warned that Homer

would always be an

"underachiever," never as

playful or independent as other

cats. But the kitten nobody

believed in quickly grew into a three-pound dynamo, a tiny

daredevil with a giant heart

who eagerly made friends with

every human who crossed his

path. Homer scaled seven-foot

bookcases with ease and leapt five feet into the air to catch

flies in mid-buzz. He survived

being trapped alone for days

after 9/11 in an apartment near

the World Trade Center, and

even saved Gwen’s life when he chased off an intruder who

broke into their home in the

middle of the night.

But it was Homer’s unswerving

loyalty, his infinite capacity for

love, and his joy in the face of all obstacles that inspired Gwen

daily and transformed her life.

And by the time she met the

man she would marry, she

realized Homer had taught her

the most important lesson of all: Love isn’t something you see

with your eyes.

Homer’s Odyssey is the once-in-

a-lifetime story of an

extraordinary cat and his

human companion. It celebrates the refusal to accept limits—on

love, ability, or hope against

overwhelming odds. By turns

jubilant and moving, it’s a

memoir for anybody who’s ever

fallen completely and helplessly in love with a pet.

From the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Homer’s Odyssey comes a tender, joyful, utterly unforgettable novel, primarily told through the eyes of the most observant member of any human family: the cat.

Humans best understand the truth of things if they come at it indirectly. Like how sometimes the best way to catch a mouse that’s right in front of you is to back up before you pounce.

So notes Prudence, the irresistible brown tabby at the center of Gwen Cooper’s tender, joyful, utterly unforgettable novel, which is mostly told through the eyes of this curious (and occasionally cranky) feline.

When five-week-old Prudence meets a woman named Sarah in a deserted construction site on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, she knows she’s found the human she was meant to adopt. For three years their lives are filled with laughter, tuna, catnaps, music, and the unchanging routines Prudence craves. Then one day Sarah doesn’t come home. From Prudence’s perch on the windowsill she sees Laura, the daughter who hardly ever comes to visit Sarah, arrive with her new husband. They’re carrying boxes. Before they even get to the front door, Prudence realizes that her life has changed forever.

Suddenly Prudence finds herself living in a strange apartment with humans she barely knows. It could take years to train them in the feline courtesies and customs (for example, a cat should always be fed before the humans, and at the same exact time every day) that Sarah understood so well. Prudence clings to the hope that Sarah will come back for her while Laura, a rising young corporate attorney, tries to push away memories of her mother and the tumultuous childhood spent in her mother’s dusty downtown record store. But the secret joys, past hurts, and life-changing moments that make every mother-daughter relationship special will come to the surface. With Prudence’s help Laura will learn that the past, like a mother’s love, never dies.

Poignant, insightful, and laugh-out-loud funny, Love Saves the Day is a story of hope, healing, and how the love of an animal can make all of us better humans. It’s the story of a mother and daughter divided by the turmoil of bohemian New York, and the opinionated, irrepressible feline who will become the bridge between them. It’s a novel for anyone who’s ever lost a loved one, wondered what their cat was really thinking, or fallen asleep with a purring feline nestled in their arms. Prudence, a cat like no other, is sure to steal your heart.
