There is a lovely new review by Tabi on “Tabi Thoughts.” Here is a quote:
Scrap is a story of forgiveness and making peace with the past. It will resonate with readers who appreciate introspective writing, stories about healing and complicated family relationships.

Tabi thoughts about SCRAP
One of the characters of Scrap is my little cat Toby. He was an all black cat, and the story is bittersweet, especially bitter. It also is one of the memories that I choose to “interrogate” in the book. Because my cat Meesker was very reminiscent of Toby in looks and personality, and I just lost Meesker when he passed away in the bathroom while I was out of town and the pet sitter was here, it’s an old wound rubbed a little raw. Here is a pic of Toby.

Congratulations, Luanne! I remember reading about what happened to Toby. Such a painful episode for a child.
Thank you, Liz! It was so hard.
You’re welcome, Luanne.
Got “Scrap” this week and it’s at the top of my pile!
Woohoo!!! I can’t wait to hear what you think! It has a little genealogy in it btw.
What a great review! I look forward to reading more!
Thank you so much!
Toby was so beautiful. Knowing the story after reading your wonderful book, I felt sad just looking at that photo. 🙁
Yeah, it’s so sad to think of his unknown future, although his future was decades ago. 🙁
