Julia's Cats
Author: Patricia Barey
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1613123337
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
“A cat-centric biography of Julia Child? Why not? . . . The many feline fanciers out there will surely enjoy the photographs of the cats.” —Chicago Tribune The world knows Julia Child as the charismatic woman who brought French cuisine to America and became a TV sensation, but there’s one aspect of her life that’s not so familiar. Soon after the Childs arrived in Paris in 1948, a French cat appeared on their doorstep, and Julia recalled, “Our domestic circle was completed.” Minette captured Julia’s heart, igniting a lifelong passion for cats equaled only by her love of food and her husband, Paul. All the cherished feline companions who shared Julia’s life—in Paris, Provence, and finally California—reminded her of that magical time in Paris when her life changed forever. From Julia’s and Paul’s letters and original interviews with those who knew her best, Patricia Barey and Therese Burson have gathered fresh stories and images that offer a delightfully intimate view of a beloved icon. “It’s clear that all the cats that passed through her life gave her joy and comfort, probably in ways that food and even Paul could not. Having that perspective of this grande dame makes her seem all the more human and wonderfully admirable to me.” —Epicurious “This compact, entertaining read is filled with personal photos and letters that document the role cats played in Julia’s life as she moved from Paris to Provence, Cambridge to California.” —Shelf Awareness “Brings this little known aspect of Julia Child’s life to light in an engaging and entertaining way.” —The Conscious Cat

Book Description
Catriona Whitaker and her two children came to the quiet Scottish village of Yarrow Castle unaware of the magical secret kept hidden throughout the ages. As Cat begins to renovate the old structure, mystical forces intervene, sweeping her back in time. Duncan Armstrong, the great laird of the clan, does not need nor want the help of an interfering female. Cat is far too curious for her own good. Despite his resolve, Duncan feels himself inexorably drawn to the beautiful woman and to a destiny he cannot seem to avoid. Could Cat be the one for whom they've waited or will the Old One eliminate Cat before the prophecy can come true? Perhaps all that's needed is the help of a meddling little fairy, love's promise, and the power of the glowing red talisman.

Pinky The Purrminator
Author: Wendy Fleming Dexter
Publisher: FriesenPress

Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Pinky, the Purrminator shares her rescue story from the perspective of a displaced cat on the “inside”. She soon realizes that the life of a rescue animal is scary and sometimes hopeless. Yes, they have food and shelter, which is better than living on the street, but Pinky firmly believes that she and her fellow canine and feline friends deserve better. After hearing the game show, The Price is Right on the TV in the rescue where Pinky is being held, she begins to formulate a cunning plan. She vows that if she ever finds a forever home, she will do her very best to become a voice for rescue cats and dogs everywhere. In time she finds a loving forever home and is determined to set her plan in motion. Pinky has but one item on her bucket list and she is desperate to make it happen. She enlists the help of several neighborhood Amish cats and the various inside and outside cats (and dogs) in the household. The Purrminator, proves to be a powerful leader, but getting her rag-tag group of friends to understand and execute her ideas is at times an overwhelming task. Pinky and her companions find themselves on a wild roller coaster ride full of amazing, and at times frightening twists and turns. She repeatedly meets obstacles and often feels defeated, but she never forgets the other rescue animals that she vowed to help. The other animals under Pinky’s guidance quickly learn to never underestimate the Purrminator. She is stubborn and tenacious with fierce determination. With perseverance and persistence, mixed in with luck and a bit of serendipity, she is so close to marking off that one item and fulfilling her lifelong dream. But just as Pinky is about to savor experiencing her dream trip to meet her idol, Drew Carey, will fate intervene and derail it all?
