Maris Kreizman was walking through Brooklyn when she saw a peculiar sign pinned to a telephone post. It was trying to track down a missing book.
The novel was an old edition of the book “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” written by talented author Judy Blume. Apparently the husband had donated the book, not realizing (or remembering) that the book was given to his wife by her mother, and had enormous sentimental value.
Kreizman snapped a photo of the sign, and posted a picture of it on Instagram. Eventually it was seen by the author herself, who immediately joined in the hunt.
Oh no tragic! Will send signed copy. Not the same, I know. Let's hope it saves the marriage. Not sure I can find that cover but will try.

Even if they don’t end up finding the exact book, the husband confirms that Blume’s intervention saved his marriage!
@judyblume I'm the terrible husband!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart…marriage saved!!!

Regardless, inspector Blume is still on the case!
.@reddsauce-and you were just married! I take this as a good omen. Still think Katie's book will show up but I'm on the case. Flying today.

Judy Blume is certifiably an awesome author AND total investigative badass.
