This is an enjoyable tale told from a cat’s point of view.
Lily was an abused kitten who was turned over to a shelter with her siblings. She was the last kitten adopted because she was flawed. She had a broken leg that didn’t heal properly and she was left with a limp. So, she knows what it’s like not to be perfect. She adopted by a family that she has come to love and will do anything to protect. She especially wants to help Charlie, the youngest son, after she discovers bruises on him. Lily does her best to find out who is hurting her favorite boy. She also shows great concern for the rest of the family. I can’t go too much further with the details because it would give away too much of the story. But, it is a well told tale of a broken family and a cat that is willing to do anything she can to bring them happiness again.
Even though this story is told from a cat’s perspective, I do not feel it is appropriate for younger readers because of certain subject matters. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves cats, women’s fiction or is looking for a good heartfelt story.
Thank you to Kensington Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book early in exchange for an honest review.

Sandi Ward chose an unusual way to tell the story of Something Worth Saving. Lily was a young kitten when the youngest Anderson child Charlie chose her to be part of their family. She wasn't perfect. Her former owner kicked her and broke her rear leg. It healed but left her with a limp. Lily was a very observant cat and did her best to help her new family.
This is a cleverly told fami!y drama. Jeremy was hurt at work and was given pain ki!lers after the surgery. He became dependent on the pills and then substituted alcohol for the pills when his wife poured them down the drain. When Kate told Jeremy to choose his family or the pills and booze, Jeremy moved out. The reader sees how each of the three children and the parents are effected by this decision.
This cautionary tale was enhanced by the cat's point of view. There was enough drama to keep the story moving. The sprinkling of humor kept the story from being too heavy. The characters are well layered and have depth and believability
