They Call Me The Cat Lady

You've seen me on the street. You've walked past my house, and pointed, and wondered. The cat lady. All on my own, with only my five cats to keep me company. Did no-one ever tell you that you can't judge a book by its cover? Everyone in town knows Nancy Jones. She loves her cats. She loves her tumbledown house by the sea. She loves her job in the local school where she tries to help the children who need help the most. Nancy tries hard not to think about her past loves and where those led her... Nancy never shares her secrets - because some doors are better kept locked. But one day she accepts a cat-sitting request from a local woman, and at the woman's house, Nancy sees a photograph, in a bright-red frame. A photograph that opens the door to her painful past... Soon Nancy doesn't know what frightens her the most: letting her story out, or letting the rest of the world in. It's impossible to find companionship without the risk of losing it. But can Nancy take that risk again?
