About this ebook

Reeling from the unexpected death of her beloved husband, Ruth loses the opportunity to adopt her foster daughter. With her children grown, she faces middle-age with only an orange cat named Snowball to share her daily life.

A phone call from a busy social worker changes everything. Eight-year-old Kata is sweet, but doesn't speak a single word. Her teenage sister could help, but she wants nothing to do with the foster system.

While the adorable eight-year-old could find a home in Ruth's heart, she isn't ready for a teenager.

Author

Katherine Lato

Katherine Lato wrote computer programs in the telecommunication field for almost thirty years, taking every opportunity to write words in addition to computer instructions. This provides a rich background for her character-driven novels such as “Sticky Note Empire” where much of the conflict comes from forcing a mismatched team to work closely together. As the mother of three children, she brings her experience into novels such as “Making Family” and her Edinburgh Series of “Yes, And” and “Yes, But.” Working as a technical writer at Fermilab adds another dimension to her fiction writing as does her role as VP-Communications of the non-profit Partners Bridging the Digital Divide. Several short stories addressing digital inclusion can be found at: http://pbdd.org/creative-writing/ Katherine has been a member of NaNoWriMo and CritiqueCircle for ten years and has released several novels available at: katherinelato.com
