{"product_id":"9781462818822","title":"Good Guys Don't Wear Bells: Russell's Way","description":"Good Guys Don’t Wear Bells transports the reader to a realm of human insight punctuated by the unexpected arrival of a new and very different family member. This member, Russell, a cat, proves to be  an influence for change and understanding.         Spread across three distinctly different venues, Russell’s life experiences begin with his mistakenly   being locked in a  closed rental house on Nantucket Island only to be rescued by the new occupants  who are destined to be his future family. From there his adventures are transferred to the long-since  vacated backyards of downtown Detroit and the urban-renewed courtyards of the townhouses  replacing them. Here he overcame numerous adversities and misadventures. His later life was spent in  the  Middle Eastern country of Qatar where he reigned supreme in his last conquest, a small backyard  garden.  Here he was united with a recent addition to the family, a Siamese “queen” named Starlight  who had been added while he was wintering in Nantucket. This union was to blossom into a lasting love  affair.                 In the years spent with his new family, he assumed the responsibility of  their conversion from dog  people as he molded them into cat lovers. This task he accomplished readily and with little fanfare  as his human family worked and played. Accompanying  this conversion his family’s feline associations  dramatically increased, the result of the rescue of a multitude of cats rendered homeless by the first  Arabian Gulf War. Even with this and the ever-present Starlight, Russell remained the star.         A  moving story of love and pathos, Good Guys Don’t Wear Bells will captivate its readers and bring them to a true  understanding  of feline-human bonding.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181353484528,"sku":"9781462818822","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462818822_p0.jpg?v=1763677998","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462818822","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
