Plot Summary
Rose is a quiet, observant girl who prefers the company of animals to noisy people. When she finds a stray cat, she feels an instant bond and names him Feathers. But Feathers isn’t an ordinary cat—he seems to come and go as he pleases, always taking his own way home, no matter how far he roams.
As Rose follows the cat’s journeys, she begins to uncover secrets about her own neighborhood—and even her family. Her world starts to expand beyond what she thought she knew, all thanks to a mysterious feline guide.
