Solomon's Tale is a gripping story with strong emotion, humour and gritty relationship themes. Sheila Jeffries has also woven a thread of spirituality throughout the tale, which focuses on reincarnation, angels, and how the soul survives death. Solomon, a cat who can see angels and who has been chosen to be born again to help a family endure traumas of separation and poverty, narrates this quirky but heartwarming adventure. The black and white cat begins life as a tiny kitten and embarks on a perilous journey to find his home. He falls in love with another cat, Jessica, whose outrageous behaviour brings life and humour into the challenging situations he must face, including the repossession of the family home, relocation to a cramped caravan and a lonely, desperate time of surviving in the wild. A tear-jerker with an interesting twist at the end, Solomon's Tale will make you laugh and cry and lift your spirits. It has been inspired by two real cats and will appeal to fans of cats and spiritual fiction. "If you love cats, if you believe in angels or if you have ever wondered how to comfort a child who has lost a pet, read Solomon's Tale," says Sheila, who has been inspired by a number of authors, including William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Michelle Magorian and Jacqueline Wilson.

As the sun dips from the sky and drizzle begins to fall, a small ginger cat finds himself homeless and alone. 
Desperate for warmth and a home he scurries from house to house on the heels of a group of people delivering care packages. Each time a door is opened, the cat slips inside, and each time he is evicted. No one wants him until Theo, a gruff old man, opens his heart and home. 
Abandoned and friendless but for each other, Theo and Merlin try to find a way to heal, and hope for the future. But neither can forget those they left behind. For Merlin it's young Imelda, a troubled 15-year-old girl, and Bully Boy, the feral cat that once mentored him. For Theo it's the family that no longer speaks to him. Both wonder: can forgiveness ever be found? 
An inspiring, heartbreaking and uplifting story about friendship and forgiveness, and the extraordinary cat who is the most faithful of friends.
