The streets belonged to her, but her heart belonged to a home she could barely remember.
Winter is closing its icy grip on the unforgiving streets of North Carolina. Blackberry has survived by becoming the hardened, untouchable Queen of 4th Street. She is a feral warrior wrapped in armor, projecting a fearlessness that keeps predators at bay and her own found family at a distance. But when she uncovers a battered map that sparks a profound, sensory memory of the human she once loved, the cold concrete loses its claim on her.
Survival on the city streets is no longer enough. She is going home.
The journey to Kentucky stretches across miles of freezing wilderness, industrial wastelands, and roaring highways. Blackberry won't be facing it alone. A chaotic but fiercely loyal trio of misfits refuses to be left behind: Bullseye, the heavy-hitting stray dog; Volkswagen, a frantic escape-artist rabbit; and Coffee, a clever parrot serving as their aerial scout.
But escaping the city means leaving the safety of their territory. The monstrous neighborhood dog that once stalked them has expanded his hunting grounds. Now, he is tracking their scent, turning a desperate winter migration into a relentless cross-country hunt.
From dodging territorial beasts in a moving boxcar to surviving the pitch-black cargo hold of a long-haul truck, Blackberry must unlearn the solitary rules that kept her alive on 4th Street. To survive the brutal wild, she will have to do the one thing that terrifies her more than the teeth of any predator: drop her armor and trust her family.
Join the perilous, emotionally resonant adventure of a fearless cat discovering what it means to belong. Will Blackberry outrun the monster on her trail, or will the crushing winter claim her before she can finally find her way back?
