Annie married Daniel, her high school sweetheart, and built her world around him. When she suddenly finds herself without him she is lost. She avoids responsibility and commitment at all costs. Annie moves in with her 85 year old grandmother, a feisty old woman who has life figured out and isn't afraid to speak her mind. When an accident on a rainy afternoon forces Annie to take responsibility for a life she nearly ended and a job interview leads to a career she loves, Annie begins a clumsy journey of self discovery. But just when she feels she is on the right road, Daniel shows up to derail her.

The Montcliff Apartments, a once elegant building is holding up fairly well despite the decline of its lakefront neighborhood on the north side of Chicago. It is clean, comfortable and the rent is reasonable, which is a fact of the utmost importance to its forty-five tenants, many of them retired or semi-retired and have called the Montcliff home for many years. The atmosphere turns ugly with the arrival of a new tenant, who is not only a drug dealer but also insulting and threatening to the other residents. When one of the tenants is murdered, the police conclude it's the result of a robbery gone bad. Her friends at the Montcliff disagree. Two of them, Nadine Felsenthal and Mona Malone, feel compelled to discover more, particularly after the incident appears as a brief newspaper account titled, "Elderly Woman Slain". "Elderly" as in So what? Don't bother? This is enough to start the over-sixty-five set actively investigating. With the help of sturdy, logical Edwin Denning, shy but resolute Violet Martacky, and the formidable Sylvia Witkowski the amateur sleuths exploit their sometimes unusual sources of information, mining gossip and overheard conversations, weaving the threads together. Along the way they are subject to incidents of very real danger; however, the untrained detectives persist, proving that underestimating them because of their age is unwise. "The author has wit, sass, and a take on life that make her writing irresistible." Rochelle Distelheim, author, Jerusalem as a Second Language.

Drawing links between genetic and cultural development, Cavalli-Sforza developed groundbreaking techniques to trace the evolution of Homo sapiens and the origins of human differentiation, in addition to his earlier work in bacterial genetics. He is also the founder of the Human Genome Diversity Project and continues to work as the principal investigator at Stanford University's Human Population Genetics Laboratory. Based on extensive research and interviews with Cavalli-Sforza and his colleagues, this biography examines the scientist's life and his immense and occasionally controversial contributions to genetics, anthropology, and linguistics.
