Her trailblazing courage could reignite his faith and humanity. And his loyalty could make her dream–for the first time–of a family of her own….

Lyn Cote is one lucky woman. She married her real-life hero over 20 years ago and was blessed with two children, a son and daughter, who now have gifted her with an empty nest! She also has been blessed with a variety of alley cats over the years: Professor, Sheba, Waffles and Shadow. Unfortunately, cats don't live as long as people do, and each in turn has left her side. The last one, Shadow, her lovely Siamese orphan, passed away in 2002. But recently, Lyn's daughter called to say that she has continued the family tradition and has just taken in her first stray kitten-Irving. Lyn is very happy to welcome her first grand-kitty into the Cote family and is planning to visit him soon! Lyn loves having guests, but can't quite accomplish the perfect "House Beautiful" look.

So you see Lyn has all she ever wanted: true love, family, understanding friends, a happy home and a rewarding career. She's one lucky woman, and she knows it!
