The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick (FIC Pat)

Since caring for her parents, Martha Storm has lived determined to do good things for others.  It doesn' always make her feel good.  She keeps a list of projects in her notebook and has an elaborate method to track her progress which only reminds her of how far behind she is.  Meanwhile her home has become stuffed with other people's things.  And her efforts to achieve a full-time job at the library where she volunteers have gone nowhere.

One day a book is left for her at the library.  In it she finds a written note to her from her beloved grandmother.  The problem?  The note is dated three years after her Nana died.

Martha sets out to discover what really happened more than thirty years ago.  In the process, she uncovers long-kept family secrets and, finally, learns how to move forward in her own life.

I've read other books by this author and always enjoy them.  This one is no different.  I enjoyed the characters and emphasized with all of them - even Martha's thoroughly unlikable younger sister, Lilian.  The ending was completely satisfying.  I'm looking forward to the author's next book!
