In 1965, eight-year-old Emily rescued a small orange kitten with a white star on its chest. What she didn’t know was that Milo had nine lives—and each one would be spent protecting the people he loved. From raging storms and rain-slick rooftops to barn fires, earthquakes, film sets, and wildfires, Milo crosses decades and continents, touching lives with courage, forgiveness, and quiet devotion. Until the day he returns to the same white picket fence on Maple Lane… where an elderly Emily waits on the porch swing. A sweeping, heartwarming tale of love that transcends time, The Nine Lives of Milo reminds us that some bonds are written in the stars—and true love always finds its way home.
