If you ask most people, they know that Dog is Man's best friend. But, who is Woman's best friend? Why, that is Cat. You may not have known that. And, this story explains how all of that came about. I wish I could tell you that I gathered this tale while I was painting one of my murals in Somalia. Although one time I interviewed for a teaching job in Mogadishu, the capital city, the closest I've been to Somalia is its neighbor to the west, Ethiopia. I collected this story when I compiled Once Upon East Africa. The original tale had about a dozen lines. I enjoyed expanding the story and setting it to rhyme. After that effort, I just felt that the tale deserved its own book. Now, I know that most children's stories tend to end "happily ever after". This tale also has a really happy ending, if you are a cat-lover. But, some really bad things happened to our poor kitty along the way. When stories have situations like that, it opens up a possibility for healthy conversation. And, that's not a bad thing since not everything in life is "happily ever after". This is also the first of my children's books to have a recipe included. I wish I had thought of that sooner, but I am glad the idea finally came my way. Macaan (Delicious in Somali.)

Embarking on an interior journey to confront his struggles and failures, a young man enters an emotional hall of mirrors where multiple doubles seem to play the role of a mysterious and tragic figure from his distant past. White Kitty is a haunting exploration of desire, love, and hope. Caught in a high-speed game of chicken with his wife in the back seat, the same man (or a version of him) strategizes to defeat a daunting rival, unaware of the true nature of his opponent or his tactics. To Acknowledge Distance is a moving meditation on loss, vulnerability, courage, and the power of imagination. "...a fascinating tapestry of beautiful paradoxes: palpable events and elaborate fantasies, insightful observations and wild speculations, playful possibilities and heartbreaking facts. The result is a truly original exploration of the human mind, intimate relations, and fiction itself. A brilliant exercise in the imagination, this two-part masterpiece serves as the perfect example of what literary art can do and be." - Gilad Elbom, fiction editor, North Dakota Quarterly "Wells guides the reader through the vivid, claustrophobic prose of White Kitty to a structurally surprising, contemplative, and compassionate place of acceptance in To Acknowledge Distance. This fiction is deeply human in its simultaneous questioning and grace." - Letitia Trent, author of Almost Dark
