Produktbeschreibung
This is a furry tale in contrast to a fairy tale, telling the true story of Lola as seen through her own eyes. She takes the reader on the journey of her life from the moment she was rescued at Harding River Caravan Park in Roebourne as a three week old homeless kitten, to the day she arrives in Perth as a mature two year old cat. Lola chronicles the personal trials and tribulations she faced growing up without a mother to guide and teach her what she needed to know to become an effective adult cat. Her story has elements of humour and sadness as she moves from the loss of her feline family to finding a human one who take her on with few expectations for her future. A myriad of situations with both positive and negative outcomes shape Lola's personality along the way to adulthood. These include learning to control her emotions and reactions to unfamiliar experiences, striving to find her niche in a family of other animals and coping with ridicule for being ""different"". Lola however has a quirky philosophical and thankful attitude to life and no matter what hand she is dealt she develops resilience in the face of adversity, including the break-up of the family she came to love and respect for saving her. You will laugh and you may cry following this fortunately unfortunate little cat who learns that growing up has many lessons, some harder than others. She becomes the feline equivalent of ""The Three Stooges"" fumbling her way through life. Despite the rough road she not only survives, but thrives thanks to her perseverance and enduring will to live!
Autorenporträt
Pauline continues to write after leaving her position as an educational administrator three years ago and this is now the third book she has had published. With a love of the outdoors, she busies herself kayaking, bike riding, running, swimming and surfing when she is not writing. Her creative pursuits include painting and making artistic and functional pieces from recycled materials. Pauline is currently the Vice President of the WAAFL--Women's Masters Committee--and is training with the squad representing Western Australia in the national competition. She enjoys an intimate circle of friends with whom she travels, attends theatre performances and takes time to socialise with either by dining out or at home over a meal and a few quiet drinks. She has undertaken a number of roles in live productions portraying fictional characters through immersive and interactive theatre. Pauline has incorporated into this story many aspects of her life growing up in Maniana, a low socio-economic housing commission suburb that once existed on the outskirts of Perth. She hopes that she can inspire others to move past challenging circumstances and follow their dreams, letting nothing get in the way!
