Most parents will do anything, ANYTHING, for their child.  Phoebe Jackson is a single mom and her youngest daughter has severe problems with diabetes.  She doesn’t have insurance, so when her child needs medical attention, her doctors send her right back home.  Phoebe has gotten used to this ‘revolving door’ policy, but she doesn’t like it.  She knows that if she had money, or at least insurance, the doctors would give her daughter the attention she needs.Phoebe is a cleaning lady at Players Health Club in Chicago and one evening, she finds an expensive looking Rolex by the lockers.  Initially, she turns it in, but then grabs it before she leaves and takes it home.  She is planning to return it – key word ‘planning’.  However, we never know what’s going to happen, and instead of returning the watch the next day, she was in the emergency room with her daughter.  Now she’s desperate to come up with a reason for why she had not turned in the watch.  Worse yet, she finds out the person looking for the watch is the mobster, Michael Contini, aka, ‘Fingertips’ because … well … you can guess!While it is believable that a mother would do anything for her child, what seems unbelievable to me is the drastic change in Phoebe’s personality from the outset of this story to the end.  Also believable is that people tend to question their own judgment but that questioning becomes constant throughout the story to the point of appearing whiny and repetitious.  Still it pulled me in and I wanted to know what Phoebe would finally decide.  I rated The Find at 3 out of 5.
