Thankfully, her new hip hasn't changed her killer tennis game one bit. One night Mrs. Plansky is startled awake by a phone call from a voice claiming to be her grandson Will, who desperately needs ten thousand dollars to get out of a jam. Of course, Loretta obliges--after all, what are grandmothers for, even grandmothers who still haven't gotten a simple "thank you" for a gift sent weeks ago. Not that she's counting. By morning, Mrs. Plansky has lost everything. Law enforcement announces that Loretta's life savings have vanished, and that it's hopeless to find the scammers behind the heist. First humiliated, then furious, Loretta Plansky refuses to be just another victim. In a courageous bid for justice, Mrs. Plansky follows her only clue on a whirlwind adventure to a small village in Romania to get her money and her dignity back-and perhaps find a new lease on life, too"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20230725. 650 $a Swindlers and swindling $x Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 941 $a 2 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20231110010043.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20231014011157.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B1103C06A5711EE821FDDB657ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
