Helen Brown wasn't a cat person, but her nine-year-old son Sam was. So when Sam heard a woman telling his mum that her cat had just had kittens, Sam pleaded to go and see them. Helen's heart melted as Sam held one of the kittens in his hands with a look of total adoration. In a trice the deal was done - the kitten would be delivered to them when she was big enough to leave her mother. A week later, the family suffered a terrible tragedy. Totally traumatised by it, Helen completely forgot all about the kitten until a little black bundle of fur was delivered to her doorstep.

In this intimate, revealing audiobook, she invites you to follow her personal, passionate program.

Helen Brown var verkligen inte en kattmänniska, men det var hennes nioårige son Sam. När hon såg den lycklige Sam hålla upp en nyfödd svart kattunge kunde hon inte längre stå emot.

Och ytterliggare några dagar senare anländer en liten låda med den svarta kattungen. Helen är förlamad av sorg och vill skicka tillbaka katten, men hennes yngre son, Rob, förknippar katten med storebrodern.

From New York Times best-selling author Helen Brown comes a funny and moving account of her life-changing month as a foster mother - to a homeless cat named Bono. After a brush with cancer, Helen Brown, happily married for 22 years and with three grown children, took stock of her comfortable suburban life and found it wanting. Seizing the day, she headed to New York, the city that never sleeps, where she was talked into fostering Bono, a rescue cat in need of a forever home.

The youngest daughter of an eccentric engineer and a musical theater fanatic, Helen Brown grew up in the New Zealand coastal town of New Plymouth in a crumbling castle overrun by nature, and overshadowed by nearby, beautiful Mount Taranaki.
