Clematis by Bertha B. Cobb audiobook.

Genre: family

On a warm spring day in a crowded New York street, a quiet little girl in shabby clothes sits alone with a kitten hidden inside her coat. She can only give one name - Clematis - and she insists the kitten, Deborah, is her own. Kind policeman Jim Cunneen cannot leave her there, and soon Clematis is carried from the hard edge of the sidewalk into the strict routines of a Children's Home, where beds are lined in rows, meals come by rule, and every child is expected to work, obey, and fit in. Clematis is brave, but she is also stubborn, bewildered, and fiercely protective of the one comfort she trusts: her cat. As days pass, she begins to learn the small skills that make a life feel steady - friendships, chores, and the courage to speak up - yet questions about who she is and where she came from will not stay quiet. When an unexpected visitor appears and whispers of a hidden past, Clematis is drawn into a tender mystery that reaches beyond the city and into the open promise of the countryside. With gentle humor, warmth, and a love of animals and growing things, this classic children's story follows one lost child as she searches for belonging, safety, and a place to finally bloom.
