Sobre IBD

Lorraine Hutton hasn’t set foot outside her home in years. Why leave her lovely old Victorian house when she can have everything she needs delivered by a boy from the local supermarket? One day the boy shows up, not with her order, but with a cart full of orphaned kittens.13 of them! All starving, scared, sick---and about to cause a seismic change in Lorraine’s life. Her own baby was ripped away when she was an unwed teen mother, and Lorraine determines that the same thing is not happening to the orphans--even if she has to overcome her terror of driving, turn her perfect house upside down and battle bureaucrats who want the kittens removed to a shelter. Unexpected allies emerge to join the fight: a retired vet whose kids want her in a nursing home; a wife fleeing an abusive husband; and a neglected young girl. Joining forces, they fight to save the kittens, discovering that this act of kindness will not only help the kittens’ survive but will lead to dramatic changes in their own lives.
