Dewey

Please do not be deceived by the highly photogenic cover of this book which may lead the uninformed reader into believing that this is just another trite pet memoir. Vicki Myron's Dewey is not limited to the antics of a small-town library cat. The accidental adoption of this feline provides the author with the opportunity to expose the utter blight affecting the American Midwest following extremely disruptive economic changes which denatured Spencer's former identity as a vibrant, rural community.
The adage "little things mean a lot" is illustrated with great finesse, as Myron convincingly demonstrates how an alley cat changed her life in a subtle way, with surprisingly wide-reaching consequences for the community as a whole.
