Kate Latimer, a promising playwright, jumps at the chance to observe the production of a major Broadway musical. Expecting merely to sit on the sidelines and watch while Daisy, Daisy is brought to life, Kate is instead quickly drawn into the production by Daniel Gaynes, the attractive young director.

From the start of rehearsals in New York through tryout runs in Washington and Boston, Kate takes an unforgettable journey behind-the-scenes as the cast and director struggle to create a hit show. Working in the theater she loves beside a man she is coming to love, and with a possible production of her own play in the offing, Kate has never been happier.

The future seems assured. But rivalry springs up between the stars, actors have to be replaced, fault lines in the musical's script become apparent, the director falters, and the out-of-town tryouts reveal the show is in deep trouble. Two of the producers turn to Kate for help.

As the curtain goes up on opening night on Broadway, the fate of the show and the people involved hang in the balance.

Jo Coudert did not start out with seven cats. She began with just one, Kate, a gorgeous tortoiseshell Persian who knew exactly who she was - the apple of her mistress's eye. But as Jo a New Yorker, began spending weekends, and eventually all her time, at GoWell, a small house in rural New Jersey, she began to acquire cats - or, more accurately, they acquired her: strays, waifs, orphaned kittens, homeless toms, and cats who came to dinner and never left. Seven Cats and the Art of Living tells about the cats - Kate, Poppy, Chester, Socksie, Trot, Bitty, and Sweet William - who shared GoWell with Jo and her dog Freebie. Their stories are instructive, quietly inspiring, written with simplicity, and a joy to read. From Poppy, whose early mistreatment gave her a mistrust of the world and all creatures in it, to abandoned Bitty, whose innate cheerfulness made every day an adventure and every human a friend, these are cats that will capture our hearts. But more important, through the lessons they teach about forming character, choosing attitudes, daring to love, taking risks, feeling fear or acting with courage, and living in the past or living in the moment, these are cats that can enrich our lives.
