Requests:  0 Summary:  Homeless, alcoholic, and depressed, Michael King lives in a UPS loading bay on the wrong side of the tracks in Portland, Oregon. One rainy night, he stumbles upon a hurt, starving, scruffy cat and takes her in. Nursing her back to health, he names her Tabor and she becomes a bit of a celebrity in southeast Portland. When winter comes, they travel from Oregon to the beaches of California to the high plains of Montana, surviving blizzards and bears, angry steers, and rainstorms. Along the way, people are drawn to the spirited, beautiful cat and moved to help Michael, who cuts a striking figure with Tabor riding high on his backpack or walking on a leash. Tabor comforts Michael when he's down, giving Michael someone to love and care for, and inspiring him to get sober and to come to terms with his past family traumas and grief over the death of his life partner. As they make their way across the West Coast, the pair become inseparable, healing the scars of each other's troubled pasts. But when Michael takes Tabor to a veterinarian in Montana, he discovers that Tabor has an identification chip and an owner in Portland who has never given up hope of finding his beloved cat, Michael makes the difficult choice to return to Portland and reunite Tabor with her owner. Now Michael must create a new purpose in his life after Tabor.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Large Type LT 636.8 Co Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Large Type LT 636.8 Collins Checked out 07/06/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Large Type LT 636.8 Co Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT 636.8 Co Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Large Type LT 636.8 Co Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Large Type LT 636.8 Co Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Large Type LT 636.8 Co Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
