I’m pleased to announce that my story “Against All Odds” is included in the latest Chicken Soup for the Soul book, Best Cat Ever.
The book goes on sale October 27, 2026. Find it at your favorite book retailer. Pre-order now on Amazon and Bookshop.org. You can also save it to your Goodreads shelf.
If you are in the metro Atlanta area, stop by the Good Mews Harvest Market on Oct. 24 to buy an early, signed copy. All proceeds from the Harvest Market go to help cats in need.
My story is about adopting my beloved Rosalie. I wrote about her passing in 2021 and what she meant to me. “Against All Odds” is very much about the challenges of being a caregiver and needing to embrace rare opportunities of joy even in the darkest days.
The book will make a great holiday gift for all of the cat lovers on your list!

Congratulations, Joy. So great that proceeds are going to help the kitties. And it’s wonderful that many will read about your precious Rosalie. I remember how happy I was that people would read about my dog, Piezon, when his story was published. BTW, it was great to see you on video.
