Feet First (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986647807)

It's never too late to start over.

Fifty-one year old Joanie Moore is finally following her lifelong dream of becoming a conservation biologist. She arrives in the remote Falkland Islands, excited to explore the windswept terrain while she finishes her master's thesis work on the effects of tourism on penguin populations.

Before she even moves onto the research vessel that will be her home for six weeks, Bill, a senior ornithologist, confides that he thinks someone tampered with the last penguin count data to cover the effects of overfishing, and he asks Joanie to keep an eye out.

Then Hans, an attractive and much younger volunteer, asks her to help him avoid the advances of another woman, and before long Joanie is trying to convince herself that their own budding romance is just a harmless fling.

As scientists and volunteers go ashore daily to count breeding penguin pairs, Joanie starts to realize that everyone has their own agendas, and some of them are dangerous for penguins and humans alike.
