Mrs. Plansky's Revenge

Mrs. Loretta Plansky, at 71, is trying to corral her 98-year-old father and keep her adult children financially afloat when she gets a late-night call from a person purporting to be her grandson and claiming to be in trouble and in need of money from Mrs. Plansky. Of course it is a scam, and when she wakes up the next morning, she discovers all her money is gone. Others sadly assure her that nothing can be done. But does that stop Mrs. Plansky? No, she is soon off to Eastern Europe in search of the perpetrators of the crime.

A gentle and lightly humorous romp in the life of an elderly American. I enjoyed this book so much that I read it cover-to-cover in one day.
