What do a cozy mystery star, an award-winning blogger and a library supervisor have in common? They are all cats...once homeless cast-offs that were living on the streets or in the wild. Cats that people ignored, or worse, abused. But at some point, fate stepped in and changed the lives of these three cats and nine others. Rescued: The Stories of 12 Cats, Through Their Eyes contains the true-life stories of these cats?but each one is told through the feline's own point of view. Human authors might have made these stories too saccharine and sentimental, but when they are viewed through the cats' own eyes, they become funny, tragic, earthy and inspiring.
