As a familiar, Ina expected to bond happily ever after with a single master or mistress.
Not two.
And certainly not three.
But when her current Master turns on her, attacks her, she breaks the bond and flees for her life.
What's a poor mouse to do?
If you need a pick-me-up, "The Mouse Who Laughed" fits the bill nicely as a warm fantasy about learning to stand on your own two (or four) feet.
