This is a cat book, and just another cat book it is not. Louie (the cat) has written this himself. Louie tells of his adoption into the family, the last few years of his dads dying of cancer, his compassion for the terminally ill and the elders in nursing homes and assisted living. His letters have helped to brighten their days with laughter and let them know they are not forgotten. Common day events become filled with life and colors, as Louie simplifies his love of life. It is as if we could see through this animals eyes, and the perception is different... and beautiful. The book relates all of Louies life experiences, cloaked in a cat story. LOUiES LETTERS will bring both tears and laughter.

In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.
