Hemingway's Cats (ePub)

"ONE CAT JUST LEADS TO ANOTHER."
-Ernest Hemingway

Inspired by the true story of the famous six-toed felines of the Ernest Hemingway House in Key West, Florida-and the hurricane that nearly blew them away-Hemingway's Cats is a delightful novel full of romance, humor, and lots and lots and lots of cats . . .

Laura Lange didn't come to Key West to fall in love. As a recent college grad-with a useless degree in English-she came to work at the historic Hemingway home as a tour guide. Why not? She wrote her thesis on the iconic author. She has no other job offers. And she's desperate. Now Laura is falling desperately in love-with the fifty-four frisky felines who freely roam the estate. These descendants of Hemingway's original cat have not only stolen her heart-they're changing her life in ways she never imagined . . .

First there's Nessie, the bushy-tailed "house mother" of the cats who seems to have adopted Laura, too. Then there's grumpy old Pawpa Hemingway; the cat thieves Chew-Chew and Whiskey; the big-pawed Boxer and Bullfighter; and dozens of darling kittens. The locals are lovable, too. Laura's having a great time with her boy-crazy bungalow roomies, the Crabb sisters, and especially the young, handsome cat keeper, Jake. But Laura's summer of fun is about to take an unexpected turn-a Category 5 hurricane is about to make landfall directly on their doorstep . . .

They can't possibly evacuate fifty-four cats. So Laura, Nessie, and all of their friends decide to hunker down in the Hemingway House to weather this storm-together.

"Sweet, funny, and charming. You'll fall in love with these adorable kitties and colorful Key West characters."
-MELINDA METZ, bestselling author of Talk to the Paw
