Molly and the Cat Cafe

April 15, 2017
As a pampered house cat in Stourton, a town in the Cotswolds, Molly has never known the challenges or dangers of the outside world. But when her elderly owner, Margery, is moved to a care facility due to advanced dementia, Molly is forced to confront a world larger and scarier than she ever imagined. After Margery's son places Molly in a house with three beastly dogs, Molly escapes into a world filled with fieldwise feline friends and alley-cat alliances. But Molly was not meant for a life of mice and mean men. Just when her whiskers are nearly frazzled to nubbins, she mews her way into the heart and home of Debbie, owner of a struggling cafe. Molly's presence attracts newfound interest in the cafe, but also resurrects old wounds. Soon Molly presents Debbie with a litter of rambunctious kittens, inspiring her to work harder to make a go of the cafe. As comforting as a purring cat on a cold winter night, Daley's feel-good feline escapade will warm pet lovers' hearts.
