"""A remarkable story about 91-year-old Barbara, newly widowed, and Cora. An elderly cat whose owner has just died. Both are old and unsteady on their feet; both are set in their ways; both are deaf and arthritic. Quite a pair! Guided by God, Barbara takes Cora into her home. Slowly they fulfill one another's mutual needs as they come to terms with sharing their lives. Cora provides Barbara with a new look on life as well as a cause with which to fill the huge gap left by her husband's death. She gives the grieving widow a sense of purpose. We are also privy to Cora's thoughts and learn that the hymn, ""Amazing Grace,"" soothes her. Delightfully, it becomes ""Our Song."" This tale of the unique trust that finally develops between a sorrowful widow and her lonely pet cat is truly heartwarming."" - Elizabeth M. Bailey, retired ESL (Adult) teacher and cat lover ""A gentle and loving ode to an elderly cat from her gracious partner, ""Cora the Cat"" is the elegantly told story of a 90-year-old widow who rescues an elderly tabby. Human and cat grow in love for each other--with God as a part of their three-some--until that painful time of departure when the cat, confused by dementia and weakened by arthritis, must be bid good-bye. This heart-felt memoir will touch anyone who has has had to part with a beloved pet."" - Lorelei Brush, Author of ""Uncovering"""
