Synopsis

Discover Frankie, the international fur-nomenon—a gem of a book about two misfits who form the unlikeliest friendship.

Meet Frankie the cat. He’s a scrappy stray who belongs to no one, and that’s just how he likes it.

Until one day, everything changes. He crosses paths with Richard.

Richard isn’t doing so well. Grieving the loss of his wife, he’s turned his back on hope and is ready to end it all. But his plans are halted when Frankie turns up injured on his doorstep.

Frankie needs help. But then, so does Richard. What Richard doesn’t know is that Frankie is no ordinary cat.

Sometimes in our darkest hour, a cat companion is just what the doctor ordered. Join Frankie and Richard in this heart-warming, laugh-out-loud, hopeful tale about the bond between humans and animals, and the redemptive power of friendship.
