After ten years gone, Katelyn Took returns home in 1974 to find that the grandmother who raised her has been killed in the farm meadow. Gram’s will leaves Katelyn ownership of the now dilapidated farm, but includes a stipulation regarding seventeen cats. Then there’s the confused old woman still living in the farmhouse.
