Reseña del libro "Looney's Legacy (en Inglés)"
Love comes to every heart that opens to it, but when it comes, it might not look the way you thought it would look. Looney's Legacy is about animals and ordinary people, like the ones you know, who show up every day and without whom our society could not endure. It's about their fantasies and foibles, their comedies and tragedies, their everyday heroics and their contributions, both seen and unseen. It's about music, mystery, magic and other nuances that make life worth living. Set in 1991, the pristine Northern California seashore provides the perfect backdrop for a story about a different kind of love. It's the story of a police detective, who after 22 years of upholding his oath to protect and serve, patrolling the streets of New York City and solving crimes in California, could not shake the feeling that he was never good enough. It's about a surgical nurse, who, despite the enormous contributions she made in her profession, couldn't shed the deep-seated feelings of shame and unworthiness that resulted from an abusive childhood. A teenage runaway and her hopeless search for a father she never knew, and an abandoned cat complete the four main characters, but there are many other human and animal players in this tale. The story takes on a life of its own as the characters face challenges, personally and professionally, and the ever-present duel between the forces of good and evil surfaces. There is a bit of mystery surrounding the actions of the main character, Looney, but this is testament to the fact that cats remain mysterious by choice.Looney demonstrates the way animals interact in our lives in profound, and often unseen ways; how their presence can help us connect to the deepest parts of ourselves and lead us to our humanity, the place where our souls live, where there is no trace of shame or unworthiness. He rewards every kindness shown him exponentially, and displays dedication and courage that spawns a lavish, continuing legacy. Looney shows us that opening your heart to an ordinary animal can make extraordinary things happen.
