"When I moved into Aunt Jeanne's house at age 13, she owned thirteen cats. By the time I left at 25, there were thirty-five." This is the story of the Cat Lady of Highland Park, and how a young man fought to form an independent identity in the presence of a controlling and ultimately demented woman. In these chapters you will enter a world of cat fights, escapes, and deaths. Failed business schemes. Explosive responses to thwarted plans. Motives twisted by family history. A battle over who defines reality. The meaning of familial love.
