Maeve longs to break free of her mother' s hoarder home. She wants to take care of her mom, but the sacrifices Maeve has to make are taking a toll on her. The only thing that' s kept her sane is MauveCat-Maeve' s online furry persona that allows her to be the truest version of herself. All Maeve wants is to go to Furrycon so she can meet her best friend, Jade, IRL and her idol, Sunspire, who might just help her get into art school. When Maeve' s mom says no, she decides to sneak out anyway. But on the night of Maeve' s eighteenth birthday, her mom finds out she' s at the con and demands she come home. With all her dreams almost within reach, Maeve finally has to decide if she can let go of her family obligations, or if she' ll remain chained to her mother and give up on a life away from home.
An immersive, emotional novel that will resonate with readers who enjoy stories of fandoms, cons, and found family. --Booklist "This is an uplifting story of finding oneself despite the pull of a loved one' s severe mental illness: Maeve navigates her emotions and relationships in a positive way, keeping readers rooting for her success and happiness. . .

" --Eric Smith, author of Don' t Read the Comments"Jessica Kara paints the furry fandom with an authentic, loving brush, detailing the creativity, openness, and friendships that those of us who' ve lived in it for years recognize immediately. From the heart-wrenching opening scenes to the cathartic finale, this is a lovely, furry ride. " --Kyell Gold, author of Out of Position and Waterways
