My Review
A young cat named Ashley has a lovely home with her human mom, Laura. Then, one day, she suddenly finds herself on the streets having to fend for herself. The dangers of living on her own are more than a little frightening. Starting with hunting for food and running from wild animals.
Ashley meets a nice lady named Summer who brings her food. It turns out Summer is more than someone feeding her, she rescues her and takes her home. Ashley gets a new name. She is now known as Sapphire. She doesn’t mind the new name, but she finds it hard to trust a human again.
Sapphire isn’t alone. She’s having babies and must find a way to convince Summer to keep them as well. Sapphire has her work cut out for her since Summer is determined to find new homes for the babies.
This is a beautifully written story of love, family and trust. It’s told from the point of view of Sapphire. She doesn’t verbally communicate with the humans, but the reader knows what she’s thinking and feeling. It’s exactly the way I think my kitties think.
My heart was totally captured by this story. As a cat lover, I was engrossed in this tale from page one until the end. I’ve done some cat rescuing of my own and I could easily identify with this book. By the end of the book, I couldn’t see beyond my own tears. Nothing bad happens, but I was totally touched by Sapphire's plight. It touched so many different emotions for me. This is easily at the top of my favorites for 2024.

It sounds like one I'd enjoy, and so would my Sweetie, he's a sucker for a good animal story.
