in a long while--is the perfect read, whether you are returning to it

At the end of a long and useful life, Penelope Keeling's prized

When her grown children learn their grandfather's work is now worth a
fortune, each has an idea as to what Penelope should do. But as she
recalls the passions, tragedies, and secrets of her life, she knows
there is only one answer...and it lies in her heart.
