#MelAndNikkiReview

The Miracle Cat is a novel for adults. It is a very powerful personal story of the authors’ life. A life that is truly remarkable considering everything she had gone through. Full of hopes and dreams, they were quickly diminished when she was assaulted. The enormous guilt that she held onto reflected in many things she did in life.

Until, Leopardo, the Miracle Cat saved her with his unconditional love. The power of his love is what gave her the courage and strength to face what had happened in her past. That is turn, helped her heal and most importantly allowed her to forgive herself.

A remarkable story of perseverance, empowerment and love. Ceuzinha is an amazing woman who conquered so much and is always looking to help others in need. It takes real courage to write a personal story especially one as a raw as this one. I admire Ceuzinha who pours her heart and soul into this book and her mission is a noble one.

Noble Cause and Author’s Mission

Ceuzinha’s ultimate goal is to be able to assist others in their healing process. But not only that, but to help animals by using all profits from her book, The Miracle Cat. The money made will be used to set up a shelter where all cats and dogs can go to be taken care of for the remainder of their life, free of threat, violence or hunger.

This novel is Ceuzinha’s memoir and includes letters that she personally writes of forgiveness to many people in her family including her rapist. It felt like it was the ending needed to complete the healing process for her. A journey that I am sure was not an easy one but Leopardo, The Miracle Cat, made it all possible for her.
