"Once upon a time, my Dad was my hero . . ." Then I grew up. Every family has its secrets: facts concealed or distorted to avoid conflict, embarrassment or immediate consequences. But truths always surface. Eventually. This collection of linked essays tells one family's story, revealing its "other side" and the fallout resulting from three generations of secrets-with a little history of North Brookfield, Massachusetts and some of its colorful characters as backdrop.

In this 4th book of The Adventures of Felix and His Furry Friends series, Felix, a strong-willed (and slightly spoiled) "only-cat" learns how to share and get along with others when his human parents surprise him by adopting two kittens. The goal of the Felix series is to educate children about rescue and adoption as well as to gently encourage dialogue between children and their parents regarding some of the difficulties and issues cats and dogs face (as told from their perspective): abandonment, abuse, illness, and death to name a few. A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to People for Animals League of Spencer, MA. Please help Felix in his efforts to save other fur-babies!
