In the latest novel from acclaimed author Daniel Damiano (The Woman in the Sun Hat, Graphic Nature), Brian tries to be an instrument of working at a non-profit in the Bronx, volunteering, participating in charity events and heeding the wisdom of inspiring sages, before a disturbing event from his past forces him to confront who he once was. Advice from a Cat explores the complexities of someone whose attempt to right a past wrong is challenged when that very past resurfaces - and when guilt and shame threaten to submerge the very benevolence being used to suppress it.
