"Librarian Martha Storm has always found it easier to connect with books than people--though not for lack of trying. She keeps careful lists of how to help others in her superhero-themed notebook. And yet, sometimes it feels like she's invisible.All of that changes when a book of fairy tales arrives on her doorstep. Inside, Martha finds a dedication written to her by her best friend--her grandmother Zelda--who died under mysterious circumstances years earlier. When Martha discovers a clue within the book that her grandmother may still be alive, she becomes determined to discover the truth. As she delves deeper into Zelda's past, she unwittingly reveals a family secret that will change her life forever.Filled with Phaedra Patrick's signature charm and vivid characters, The Library of Lost and Found is a heartwarming and poignant tale of how one woman must take control of her destiny to write her own happy ending."

I'm about halfway through. Not what I usually read but it's keeping my attention so far. I feel so sorry for Martha having that horrendous father!

I just finished this book and I really liked it! It was a little predictable and I wish the author would have been a little subtler about certain plot points, but that was my only issue. I loved Martha's character growth so much. I really related to her problem of saying yes to people all the time; I do that a lot myself. This book served as a good reminder that it's okay to take time to do things just for yourself and not feel guilty about it. Zelda reminded me a lot of my grandmother, and she was my favorite character.
