Grant, Walter
$14.95


Fulltiming, based on real places and real events while fulltiming for 12 years, is the story of a cat living in a recreational vehicle with her (human) parents. Honeybee tells the story from her perspective as she travels the highways and bi-ways of America. Curiosity lands Honeybee in many awkward and often life threatening situations. Honeybee takes you from "kittenhood" to a glimpse of the hereafter; from the bold and daring of her youth to the autumn years when watching life pass by her window and reminiscing is enough. Dreams, visions perhaps, of the ancient past haunt Honeybee for the greater part of her life; near the end dreams and reality are often indistinguishable.
