The Craggy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It
ByPublisher Description
Geneen Roth’s legions of fans have always responded to her humor and honesty, her warmth and savvy. Those qualities, so present in The Craggy Hole in My Heart and The Cat Who Fixed It, take us deep into the story of a remarkable twenty-pound cat, Mister Blanche, and Geneen’s beloved father, Bernard, and the ways in which each taught her to love without reservation and to accept the fact that she might someday lose those whom she believed she could not live without.
In these remarkable, inspiring, and joyous pages, we discover along with Geneen how to break free of the same fears that may drive us to eat or drink or shop too much. Fear of being vulnerable, fear of death, fear of losing what we want most: These are the demons that can inhibit our ability to embrace life freely and fully.
Come meet Mister Blanche and the charming Bernard and immerse yourself in a poignant and funny story that is Geneen’s best. As her loyal readership already knows: It’s not about food, it’s not about the cat . . . it’s always been about love and how to live with it—and never live without it!

“When I first started to read this book I was disappointed because I thought there would be more about the cat but it was very much about the author and her issues with anxiety and her emotional relationship with food, love and her father……. I felt the author was very self absorbed and annoying…… I nearly gave up on it but carried on…..
Maybe it was the relationship she had with her father that pulled me in as I recognised my father in her father……
Towards the end of the book the author talked about grief and her relationship with her mother, husband and most of all her beloved cat and I’m so glad I didn’t give up on this book as it’s beautifully written and brought a tear to my eye more than once……the last chapter was very moving x”
