Journey Home-A Cat's Tale (Second Edition) is a heartwarming, inspiring, philosophical story for all ages about life's journey from the perspective of an abandoned and homeless cat-a story based upon actual events that weaves together many of life's lessons parallel to our own.

Born in a small town on the coast of Maine, an unpretentious cat named Patches encounters life changing experiences during his early years. His siblings are given away, his father disappears one cold winter day in a dark coastal forest, abandoning him and his mother, and he's discarded by an uncaring owner and left homeless without food and shelter. During his struggles to piece his life back together, he encounters Chester, a relocated cat from New York City, who helps him find food and shelter, and Buster, a neighborhood stray who teaches him the meaning of empathy toward others, and Tate, a homeless man who brings about profound changes to Patches' life. During a life-threatening blizzard late one night, Patches seeks food and shelter from the storm within an old garbage dumpster. As he jumps into the dumpster, his paw is ensnared by the steel jaws of a leg-trap. In severe pain, his thoughts are engulfed by past memories. He recalls an overgrown forest trail, visualizes gnarled trees captured by time in an ancient neglected cemetery, and reflects upon a cryptic conversation he and his father once had when they shared time together wandering among old weathered stone tablets. Will he discover what has become of his siblings, ever understand his father's message about life and why he abandoned him, and ever find a new home? Will he survive the below zero wrath of the blizzard in an uncaring darkness and discover a pathway in life that leads to the answers he seeks?
