"Love Saves the Day" by Gwen Cooper


From the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Homer's Odyssey, here is a tender, joyful, utterly unforgettable novel told through the eyes of the most observant member of any human family: the cat.

The day Prudence the cat adopts a "roommate" named Sarah outside a building on the Lower East Side, there's something more than chance at work. But when Sarah doesn't come home one day, Prudence is uprooted from their apartment and the closest thing to a family she's ever known, and is taken to live with Sarah's daughter, Laura, and Laura's new husband, Josh. "It's important to keep your past organized," Sarah always liked to say. But as Prudence searches for the key that will bring Sarah back, it's Laura's past, and the secret joys, hurts, and life-changing moments that make every mother-daughter relationship special, that will ultimately come to the surface. Heartwarming, insightful, and funny in the way only a cat can be, Love Saves the Day is about a daughter healing after the loss of her mother, about a new husband and wife learning to adapt to marriage, and about how the love of an animal can make us all better humans.
