This is a story of courage, unconditional love and redemption. It's the saga of Yellow Kitty and the residents of The Garden. The little animals we all see scurrying here and there in our own back yards and never really pay attention to or get to know. It's their story, their life in The Garden. It's a true story with some slight poetic license taken to enrich the tale. But mostly, it's true and real. It's not a sad story, I promise, but it will touch your heart. It's really an uplifting story with truths told and lessons learned which will leave you, I hope, with some sense of inner knowing of oneself and The Garden in which you live. Some say it's just a children's story, but other's say it's more than that. It's not meant to be one or the other. It just is what it is.

On March 21, 2003, the United States attacked Iraq in hopes of eliminating its leader, Saddam Hussein. In addition, the American leaders believed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction it might use against the United States. Saddam was quickly overthrown, but the weapons turned out not to exist. As of the end of 2009, U.S. troops were still fighting in the country. During that time, nearly five thousand U.S. soliders had been killed, along with around a hundred thousand Iraqis. Author Mara Miller explains the course of this long, controversial conflict and looks at efforts to bring it to an end.
