Showing results for "The Town" in Pets & Animal Care

Betsy Vereckey was thirty-seven and newly divorced when she rerouted her life from New York City to a tiny town in New Hampshire that she knew virtually nothing about, except that it was her dog's hometown. She was leaving behind a marriage that had ended, a soulless marketing job, and a Brooklyn apartment overrun with mice. Everything had gone south at once—a particular kind of collapse where the universe is practically yelling at you to take a hint and get your act together.

It all started when Jan Louch, assistant librarian at the Douglas County Public Library in Carson Valley, Nevada, and a coworker acquired two Scottish fold cats to keep mice away from the town's new library. Jan called the cats Baker and Taylor because the names fit the felines' mild temperaments - and because she dealt with the book distribution company on a daily basis.
