My Review:
A heartfelt and inspiring story of James Bowen, a London
street musician, and his faithful feline companion Bob.
In this book, James looks back on one of the toughest
Christmases with Bob and how they survived, yet made a memorable Christmas for
themselves and James’ good friend Belle.
The book is filled with delightful stories like when James
is desperate for money and his supporters at the Angel Station are there to
give him donations and when James gives back to those who help him by handing
out Christmas cards. Gut wrenching
stories of an encounter with a drug dealer and how James and Bob managed to get
away from him and the heartbreaking tale of Belle’s lost Christmas gift. These are just a few of the stories in this
book. If you are in need of inspiration
this holiday season, or just any time you want a feel good story, I would
recommend reading this book. It left me
feeling inspired to do something good for someone. I also enjoyed the illustrations at the end
of each chapter. I thought that was a
special touch.
