But above all, this is a story of cats: Clancy, a tiger-suited Irish rogue who refuses to be caged; gentle Oliver Cromwell, who summers in Maine and makes friends with his own personal sea gull; and one tiny black cat, Fledermaus, who breaks through Samantha's own wall of frozen grief after her father's death and shows her the rewards, and the risks, of loving again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eA Snowflake in My Hand\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"This book is not only for cat lovers, it is for lovers of life.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"She displays an empathy with animals akin to that evident in the works of James Herriot.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Heartrending for cat lovers.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"An affair of the heart and a celebration of life in the face of death . . . a very special story.\"\u003cb\u003e--Roger Caras\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"In telling the story of the cats she has served far beyond the call of duty, Samantha Mooney is really telling us how to face the ordeal of serious, sometimes terminal illnesses with humor, patience, and courage. . . .
