There is nothing lonelier than a cat who has been loved, at least
for a while, and then abandoned on the side of the road.
A calico cat, about to have kittens, hears the lonely howl of a
chained-up hound deep in the backwaters of the bayou. She dares to
find him in the forest, and the hound dares to befriend this cat,
this feline, this creature he is supposed to hate. They are an
unlikely pair, about to become an unlikely family. Ranger urges the
cat to hide underneath the porch, to raise her kittens there
because Gar-Face, the man living inside the house, will surely use
them as alligator bait should he find them. But they are safe in
the Underneath...as long as they stay in the Underneath.
Kittens, however, are notoriously curious creatures. And one
kitten's one moment of curiosity sets off a chain of events that is
astonishing, remarkable, and enormous in its meaning. For everyone
who loves Sounder, Shiloh, and The Yearling, for everyone who loves
the haunting beauty of writers such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings,
Flannery O'Connor, and Carson McCullers, Kathi Appelt spins a
harrowing yet keenly sweet tale about the power of love -- and its
opposite, hate -- the fragility of happiness and the importance of
making good on your promises.
