Cleo

Praise for Cleo

“Helen Brown’s remarkable memoir took me on a journey that threatened to break my heart, and right when I thought I couldn’t possibly bear to read another word, I realized that she didn’t break my heart at all—she opened it.”

—Beth Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

“Possibly the next Marley & Me, Cleo, by Helen Brown, is an honest and un-mawkish true story of ordinary people rebuilding their lives after a tragedy, with the help of a kitten. Even non cat-lovers will be moved.”

—Good Housekeeping

“Heartwarming, fun, and romantic. Marley & Me fans will love it.”

—Closer

“This is an absolute must gift for yourself or a cat-loving friend.”

—Cat World

“Helen Brown’s Cleo is not just a tender story about a cat and a family facing the world again after a family bereavement. It’s also an epic, genuinely moving, funny, and ultimately, uplifting. Don’t be surprised to find yourself smiling through tears after reading it.”

—Witi Ihimaera, author of The Whale Rider

“In the tradition of Marley & Me, this memoir about an impish black kitten teaching a grieving family to love and laugh again is written with warmth and candor.”
