England's last stand.
The Blitz. The firebombing of Conventry[sic]. England, bloody England.
Lord Gort doesn't understand war. She's just a lost cat trying to find her way home.
Her trip will take her into the heart of the war. Into the hearts of the people she meets. And perhaps break her own heart...
A black cat. A nation in danger. A world at war.
An incredible story.
