Paige Turner and Crazy Cat's Meow — Leise Chadwick

A funny thing happened to Paige Turner's plan to finish her second year teaching 3rd grade and head to the beach for the summer: Dell, the love of her life returns, unencumbered by a fianceé; her dull former ‘pseudo' boyfriend, Richard, causes a scene as she cozies up to Dell; and sexy, charismatic Detective Jacobs has more on his mind then investigating Richard's death, as he relentlessly pursues Paige. Crazy Cat stalks the neighborhood day and night, dragging home her treasures. Her criminal behavior appears to escalate when she leaves money on Paige's bed. Crazy is quite opinionated and doesn't hesitate to share her feelings in various ways, particularly about Paige's love interests. Paige is accident-prone, often finding herself in embarrassing situations. Like the time she landed spread eagle on the dance floor, after imitating a move she saw on Dancing With the Stars. Paige's nosey elderly neighbor, Mrs. Everett, waits patiently for her imminent arrival to snare her into often exasperating conversation. Her nasty Aunt Gillie arrives with a flair for the dramatic and an unwavering contempt for Paige. When Paige's house is ransacked and the vandals are unsuccessful in finding what they are searching for, they turn their sights on Paige, putting her life in peril. Will Crazy Cat save the day?
