Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation & The No Kill Revolution in America has already won several national book awards, including USA Book News Best Book, Silver Medal from the Independent Publishers Association, a Muse Medallion from the Cat Writers Association of America, and a Certificate of Excellence from the Dog Writers Association of America. It has just picked up another.
Redemption has been named the First Runner-Up for the Eric Hoffer award for excellence in publishing. As a Hoffer Award Finalist, Redemption reached the upper 10% of entrees for the 2009 award year. It came in second to the overall winner.
In late May, Redemption goes into a second edition printing, which includes a new foreword, an expanded discussion of the No Kill Equation, and a new Appendix III on the need to legislate No Kill through shelter reform legislation. The foreword covers changes in the movement since Redemption was first released in 2007, responds to critics of the book, and talks about the further successes in the No Kill revolution.
