A journey of discovery that brings a cat, a transvestite, and the narrator together. It is emotionally explosive. Moments of tears, followed by laughter, get you to the point of sheer terror at times. This is an American story. When you feed strays and gays, you make friends. Friendship lasts a lifetime, and these misfit Americans do their darnedest to celebrate their lives and share their emotional battles and journey with the reader.
