The package

I had a really hard time getting into this book. It wasn't until I was over halfway through the book that it finally got interesting to me and then I quickly finished it. Annie Dawson finds a package containing some stock certificates in her grandmother's attic. A note found with them indicated that the person that left them would be coming back to pick them up only that was several years ago. This person never came and Annie decided she needed to find the rightful owner and return them. That turned out to be a lot more difficult than she thought. During the story, Annie also begins working with some local teens who are attending a needlework class at A Stitch in Time, the local craft store, where they are being taught different needlework techniques to see which they are most interested in learning. Annie has the idea to get the teens together to work with some elderly women at a nursing home who also enjoy needlework. Together with the women from the Hook and Needle club, they had three generations working together on a charity project. The story does get a little tense when Annie realizes someone has been in her house but I figured out who that was pretty fast. I thought some parts of the story were not realistic enough, like the nurses talking to Annie about someone who gave birth at the hospital and the fact that there were filing cabinets of old patient records that could be so easily accessed by anyone.
