Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper

Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper

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." But the kitten nobody believed in quickly grew into a three-pound dynamo with a giant heart who eagerly made friends with every human who crossed his path. Homer scaled seven-foot bookcases with ease, 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 transformed Gwen's life. And by the time she met the man she would marry, she realized that Homer had taught her the most valuable lesson of all: Love isn't something you see with your eyes.

BONUS: This edition contains a new afterword and an excerpt from Gwen Cooper'sLove Saves the Day.

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.
