Bono: The Remarkable Story of a Rescue Cat Inspiring a Community

Helen Brown, the renowned New York Times bestselling author, presents a humorous and moving account of her life-altering experience as a foster mother to a homeless cat named Bono. When Helen Brown arrived in New York for a highly anticipated visit, a fellow animal enthusiast persuaded her to foster a shelter cat. Helen envisioned a gentle, cuddly feline who blinked and dozed frequently. However, what she encountered at Manhattan's Bideawee shelter was a wide-eyed and unpredictable Persian cat with a punked-out haircut and a feisty attitude - Bono, a "special needs" cat who had become homeless during Hurricane Sandy and had survived a serious infection, requiring daily medication, making him an unlikely candidate for adoption.

As the affection between Helen and Bono grew, Helen became determined to find him a forever home. Little did she know that Bono would transform her life in ways she never could have imagined, teaching her invaluable lessons she would cherish forever. Just as this sweet, beleaguered, and hopeful feline deserved a fresh start, Helen too was ready for new beginnings. And so, a heartwarming, uplifting, and lasting kind of love began to blossom.

RT Book Reviews commends Brown for giving "inspiration with her witty, adventurous story," and Kirkus Reviews acknowledges her eloquence in writing about "women, daughters, and felines."
