Friends For Life hosts New York Times bestselling author Gwen Cooper, who will sign and read an excerpt from Love Saves the Day.

Cooper received critical acclaim for her first cat book, Homer's Odyssey. The memoir documented her experience in adopting a three-week-old eyeless kitten that had been abandoned. Her second book for feline-followers, Loves Saves the Day, is a poignant, insightful and laugh-out-loud funny tale about hope, healing and how the love of an animal can make everyone better people. It's the story of a mother and daughter divided by the turmoil of bohemian New York, and the opinionated, irrepressible feline who will become the bridge between them.

Guests can purchase books at the event. Complimentary wine and light bites will be served. Each guest will also receive a free Litter Genie Plus, a cat litter disposal system that helps control litter odor without the daily trips to the garbage can.
