A review by mantissabolt
Remnant Population, by Elizabeth Moon

5.0

My wife recommended this one. She read it based on a list of books with older women protagonists. And Ofelia is amazing. Her colony is being relocated to another planet and she thinks, f*k that, hides and stays behind. Eventually, she does a great job of first contact largely because she works well with toddlers (sounds odd when I type it, but in the book, it really works)
