Homer by Gwen Cooper

Homer by Gwen Cooper

The odds had always been stacked against Homer, the little 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 best seller Homer's Odyssey, Homer went from beloved housecat 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 strength, dignity, 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.

Gwen Cooper is the author of the New York Times bestselling book Homer's Odyssey: A Brave Feline Story, or How I Learned About Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat; the novels Love Saves the Day and Diary of a South Beach Party Girl; and Kittenish, a crowd-sourced collection of cat selfies from which 100% of the earnings were donated to fund animal rescue in Nepal following the 2015 earthquake. She speaks at shelter fundraisers frequently and donates 10% of her Homer's Odyssey income to charities that help mistreated, abandoned, and injured animals. She's also in charge of Homer's ongoing social media community, which reaches roughly two million cat lovers and rescuers every day from all around the world. Laurence, Gwen's spouse, resides in Manhattan. Clayton the Tripod and his littermate, Fanny, are her two ideal cats, who aren't impressed with any of it.
