Review: A rollicking, fun, enjoyable book

The characters are fully fleshed out. I like that the author shows "senior" citizens as active, alive, witty, and fully capable of taking on tasks and adventures with intelligence and penach.People of the last several generations tend to see the older people in their communities as dottering fools unable to add anything of great consequence to their lives and the world in general.Although this story isn't about proving that retaining youth is the end all, be all, it is there in the underlying story.  Life, love, and adventures do not end for a "senior" citizen - they just need to continue living, learning, jumping into new experiences and relishing all life has to offer.For the younger folk out there (and the older ones too), read this book, jump on the ride with both feet - you will be glad you did.  There are plenty of twists, turns, mystery, and fun.It took many decades before I really got to know my own father.  I discovered he was a very intelligent, compassionate, funny and wonderful man who has enriched my life in so many ways.  I call him Dad and he is a true and steadfast friend.I look forward to reading more of this author's work.
