Book signing this weekend features local authors

When a gray kitten named Jane is cruelly cast on the street at 10 weeks old, she spends her time hiding in bushes and under porches, terrified of dangers around her.

Hungry and cold, she finally meets a kind opossum who leads her around the neighborhood to yummy morsels of food. The odd duo stick together until fate shines upon Jane. Plucked from the clutches of street life, Jane is adopted into a loving home and makes a friend for life in the family’s dog, a Labrador retriever named Danny Lunder.

That is the plot in Letters from Jane: The Adventures of an Abandoned Kitten, written by Barbara “Bobbie” Hite and illustrated by Rick Hite.

The Hites will be at Bookworks in Downtown Staunton for a book signing on Saturday, Aug. 13, from noon-2 p.m.

Call Bookworks at 540.887.0007 or visit the shop at 101 W. Beverley St. in historic Downtown Staunton, with any questions.
