Puzzles She Packed

by Jodie Morgan

**Some puzzles are worth getting lost in...** Laura Evans thought moving to Silver Springs meant leaving surprises behind. After uprooting her entire life from Boston, all she wanted was predictable days and a fresh start in the quaint Vermont town she and her grandmother often visited. But when a mysterious vintage cookie jar appears in her moving boxes—one she didn't pack—Laura discovers it contains a secret. Inside is a handwritten clue in her grandmother's distinctive purple ink. With Isaac 'Izzy' Lennox, an enthusiastic young man from the local apple farm who arrives at her door with homemade pickles, Laura finds herself chasing riddles from the cozy Creekside Tearoom to the community theater's costume collection. Each clue reveals another piece of her grandmother's connection to this close-knit town—and introduces Laura to neighbors who seem remarkably eager to help a stranger. As Laura follows the trail...she begins to wonder...how does and why everyone in Silver Springs seems to know exactly who she is? *Sometimes the most beautiful secrets are the ones that bring you home.*
