Bookroo's summary
After losing his wife, Mark Twain finds solace only in his daughter's cat, Bambino. When the cat vanishes, Twain's grief deepens, prompting a desperate search. Will finding Bambino restore his joy, or is the great writer destined to remain in sorrow? As people flock to help, Twain discovers unexpected connections and the profound comfort of companionship. Can a missing cat lead to healing?
From the publisher
Grieving the death of his wife, Mark Twain shuts himself up in his Fifth Avenue house and abandons his writing. Only his daughter’s cantankerous cat, Bambino, seems to understand Twain and his moods. When the feisty cat disappears, Twain is determined to find him. Full color.
