The book chronicles the author’s affectionate experiences with her beloved pets, including a kitten named Keturah, a cockerel named Sam, and a hawk named Toby, among others. Through these stories, readers can expect an exploration of childhood emotions, the bonds formed with animals, and the heartache that sometimes accompanies those relationships. The opening of the book introduces Keturah, a white kitten gifted to the young narrator after a difficult day at school. With vivid detail, Greenwood recounts the joy and challenges of caring for Keturah, including a memorable experience of accidentally falling asleep in church with the kitten hidden in her shawl, leading to an unexpected overnight adventure. The young girl's close bond with Keturah is evident, showcasing the innocence and warmth of childhood as well as the deeper emotional ties to animals that accompany both joy and grief. This heartfelt beginning sets a charming tone for the anecdotes that follow, inviting readers to join in the ups and downs of pet ownership through a child’s eyes.
