You'll be whisked into a vibrant Guatemalan town through the words of Amazon #1 Best Seller and celebrated children's author Dawn Aegle. You'll encounter grandmother cat, Granny Rae, her curious kitten grandchildren, and a trio of unlikely heroes-the rescued kitten MisMau, her American Expat human Kari, and her new compadre Blu the Angel Cat-each on a journey to overcome adversity and find belonging in a world that often leaves stray cats behind.
Set against the colorful backdrop of rural Guatemala, in this second book of the "Purrsonal Tales" series Granny Rae recalls a true tale of compassion, courage, and community.
