At a local wedding, Seneca James releases monarch butterflies right after the couple says 'I do.' When a pompous woman is found dead following the reception, the ensuing fiasco has Seneca wishing she'd said 'I don't' to the whole affair. Seneca's cousin, Evie, comes to her for help when her love interest is accused of the murder, and Seneca isn't about to tell her no. But with so much evidence pointing at Evie's boyfriend, will Seneca and her cat, Winifred, be able to prove him innocent?

Ruth J. Hartman spends her days herding cats and her nights spinning mysterious tales. She, her husband, and their cats love to spend time curled up in their recliners watching old Cary Grant movies. Well, the cats sit in the people's recliners. Not that the cats couldn't get their own furniture. They just choose to shed on someone else's. Ruth, a left-handed, cat-herding, farmhouse-dwelling writer, uses her sense of humor as she writes tales of lovable, klutzy women who seem to find trouble without even trying. Ruth's husband and best friend, Garry, reads her manuscripts, rolls his eyes at her weird story ideas, and loves her despite her insistence all of her books have at least one cat in them.
