Sequel to A Taxing Situation
Eccentric, genius, science-fiction writer Joan Howell has to decide what to do with some of the money she just earned when a stock investment pays off big time. She decides to contribute to some of the wildlife funds she's loved her whole life.
First, she brings members of the family of her buffalo Beau to live with him on her new property. Then she goes to Florida to first see about traveling into space, then to see what the Manatee Preservation Society needs.
But the manatees are waiting for her. It was foretold centuries ago that "The Jone" would save them from "the biting tails." How can she convince the police the manatee she was caught riding had been honored to guide her around their realm when it's illegal to even touch the creatures?
