This story was pretty slow and not as interesting as others. Tara is at her mother's apartment to gather anything she wanted before they throw out her things. Her mother has passed away and Tara is sad because she never knew her. Her mother was always distant. She finds some letters from an elderly lady in Stony Point that had been writing to her mother. When her boyfriend sees the letters her gets an idea for a way to make some money. He is originally from Stony Point and he remembers Mrs. Holden in the fancy big house. He decided Tara will go to the house and befriend the women so they can steal some of the cross stitches that are fetching a lot of money at auction. Tara goes along with it but when she meets Annie and the other ladies at the Hook & Needle club, she doesn't want to go through with it. She really just wants to learn more about her mother and hopes someone there will remember her.
