In "Caramel Has a Tale," Betty and Ronnie tease their cat Caramel for being lazy—only for the feline to surprise them by revealing she can talk, but only when they’re still children. With a quiet wisdom, Caramel shares the story of her past: how she raised three kittens in an old abandoned house, and how, after the home was destroyed, she led her family on a journey across America, seeking safe places for each of them—enduring hardship, loss, and the near-constant risk of never finding her own peace.
