The Cat of Christmas Past — Kathi Daley

It's Christmas on Madrona Island and Cait and friends have plans to embrace the magic of the season. The only dark spot on their celebration is the fact that a miserly old landlord is set on evicting Destiny's mother and sisters just days before Christmas. Cait looks into it and finds that he plans evict all the tenants so that he can convert the apartment building into condos. Cait is aided by a cat named Ebenezer as they try to convince the old man to change his mind. Things look hopeless after she realizes that an unsolved murder may be behind the man's gruff exterior, but Cait knows that miracles are real and anything can happen at Christmas.
