Kathleen Kavanagh is a student attending Stanford. Mrs. Atwood owns an antique store, the Antiquarian House - The Atwood collections, and Kathleen visits it and requests to look old photos hoping to find her Grandfather, David Brewster, on her grandmother's side. Kathleen browses the file and locates the name David Brewster, a resident and business owner of San Francisco, brother to Andrew Brewster of Pennsylvania. As Kathleen leaves the store with a picture of what might be her ancestor, she has the feeling that her Grandfather is close to her and trying to influence her life. Imagination?
Cute story, but I found the writing and conversations so formal. Words and sentences that people don't really use in a conversation made it kind of hard to believe. Where other authors explain in another paragraph part of the conversation of characters, this book was written with each character telling the other exactly what they were going to do, and in such formality it got annoying.
