One quiet evening on the subway, a man in a worn coat cradled a tiny gray kitten, Mina. He had found her shivering by a garbage can three days earlier and kept her warm with his scarf and scraps of food. She wouldn’t leave his side.
At the next stop, a tearful young woman, Anya, ran up—Mina was her mother’s last gift, a small piece of her lost family. The reunion was priceless.
Sylas, the man who had once been a mechanic and firefighter, refused money for helping her. Homeless and hopeless after his wife’s illness, Mina had given him purpose. He soon became a caregiver at Anya’s shelter, helping both people and animals in need.
In saving Mina, Sylas’s life was saved too.
