520 "A curmudgeonly but charming old woman, her estranged
grandson, and a colony of penguins proves it's never too
late to be the person you want to be in this rich,
heartwarming story from the acclaimed author of Ellie and
the Harpmaker. Eighty-five-year-old Veronica McCreedy is
estranged from her family and wants to find a worthwhile
cause to leave her fortune to. When she sees a documentary
about penguins being studied in Antarctica, she tells the
scientists she's coming to visit-and won't take no for an
answer. Shortly after arriving, she convinces the
reluctant team to rescue an orphaned baby penguin. He
becomes part of life at the base, and Veronica's closed
heart starts to open. Her grandson, Patrick, follows
Veronica to Antarctica to make one last attempt to get to
know his grandmother. Together, Veronica, Patrick, and
even the scientists learn what family, love, and
connection are all about"--|cProvided by publisher.
