About the Book

The Tenth Life is a beautiful story to help people handle the loss of an animal family member. An uplifting book told from a cat's perspective to her "owner" minutes before the cat is off to her "tenth life." The cat, Crystal, is insightful, has a sense of humor and shares the wisdom of the next life with her beloved "owner," Foster. Heartwarming gift meant to be shared. It is the thing you do for someone you love when there's nothing you feel you can do to comfort them in their grief. Comforts the recipient and supports the ongoing care of the author's many geriatric rescues. The author has had to say goodbye to many rescues and initially this was written to help her cope. Thank goodness some of her cats shared their secrets. Some of the author's favorite cat quotes are also included. Love always finds love. This book is meant to be a glorified Hallmark card and all money goes to helping the 20+ years of rescue of 125 feral cats by the individual, author Carol Butler, who is NOT a nonprofit. It is what you give someone who has lost an animal family member for comfort. It is VERY short because in grief it was thought no one would want to read a long book, only a comforting one.
About the Author: Carol King Butler was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and now lives in her childhood playground; Lake Wylie, SC. Carol has a BA in Theatre, is an author, playwright, online school owner/course creator, audio/video brander and digital photo artist. The Tenth Life was written as a resource to help others cope with the loss of an animal family member. Carol and friends moved to Lake Wylie, SC and discovered over 65 starving feral cats within two weeks of living there. There have been a total of 125 rescues since 2000. Because they were feral animals (not tamed/socialized to people) they could not be adopted (although Carol tamed 20 kittens and found homes for them) so the Humane Societies couldn't help. They numbered too many for Animal Control to trap (which would have meant death anyway by them) and South Carolina would not allow Carol to open a nonprofit because personally she could not take in more. It made her only choice to be THE individual rescuer, spayer and neuter person, medical caretaker, food and shelter provider through her own resources. It is an understatement to talk about what the last 20+ years have been like as one-by-one her four-legged friends began to get age related problems which ultimately resulted in going to their tenth lives. Each was loved individually for who she or he was and each loss was a heart tear. The Tenth Life continues to give comfort to Carol and many others because of what the cat shares with her owner. Cat wisdom can be profound. Carol's other books include the nonfiction, Living Inside-Out: Be Who You Imagine You Can and her other work of fiction, The Trinibeings' Daughters.
