MoreThis Cat Has a Way with WordsAuthor Pens Collection of Letters that Expresses a Pet's Sentiments toward Beloved OwnerINDIAN TRAIL, N.C. - Feline friends have a way of communicating to their caregivers that breaks the language barrier. But imagine what a cat would say if it were gifted with the ability to speak and write. In her new book, Greetings from Josie: A Book of "Tails" (now available through AuthorHouse), M. Lucy Mancino invites readers to enjoy a humorous, heartfelt collection of letters from a sassy pet cat to her elderly "mother." When Ora Setzer breaks her neck in a fall and is transferred to a long-term care facility, her cat, Josie is devastated. The two formed an instant bond when Ora adopted her and have enjoyed each other's company ever since. But now, Josie must adjust to a new life without her loving "mother." Greetings from Josie follows this friendly feline's daily adventures in a cheerful compilation of cards and letters written from the cat's perspective. Josie describes her nightmares, offers Ora a play-by-play account of a Superbowl party, shares dreams of taking trips to the beach and obsesses about her weight in these delightfully innocent musings. Mancino created this book out of actual letters she mailed to Ora. Wanting to make a positive impact on the 95-year-old woman's life, she started corresponding with Josie's owner from the cat's point of view, and her letters became a loving routine. Now, readers can share the warmth in this book filled with witty kitty remarks accompanied by adorable pictures of Josie. "I hope this book brings enjoyment ... to all of those who read it," Mancino writes. "I believe that it will appeal to people of all ages - especially those who value the simpler things in life."
