Joan Romney Groves Announces Release of 'Where Is My Home?'

The amazing ability of a cat to find his home after being away for nine months and being 30 miles away inspired Joan Romney Groves to write "Where Is My Home?" (published by AuthorHouse). This is the true story of a prodigal cat who leaves home, experiences the world and goes to extremes to find his way back home.

The book tells the story of Sonic, the cat who was "born to be wild." When he was given the opportunity to be free, he found many difficult challenges. Although 30 miles from home, he spent nine months battling the weather, animals, traffic, people, sleep, hunger and sickness before he reached his home. When he got home, he settled into the same quilt in the garage where he was born.

"I want children to realize that even though they may be unhappy at home on occasion, there is no place that will provide them with more love and satisfaction than being at home," Groves says.

An excerpt from the book:
Sonic came to a city street. The traffic was crowded and dangerous. With lightning speed, he darted between cars. Brakes screeched and horns honked as he splashed through rain puddles. Thunder rattled the air.
"Yeoow!" he shrieked shivering with fright. "Where is my home?"
