Theo Gruene is comfortable with the predictable rut of his life. A seventy-year-old retired botany professor, he spends his days preserving plant specimens for the University of Arkansas Herbarium and minding his own business. When Penelope Palmer, a precocious eight-year-old, appears on his front porch during a spring thunderstorm, Theo’s life opens to unexpected possibilities.
From the author of the award-winning book The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee comes a poignant portrayal of love, loss, and the profound joy of human connection.
