The Shadow of Tragedy Becomes a Gift
What would you do if you could see into the minds of others? For twelve-year-old Thea Fox, this question becomes her reality after a devastating tragedy. While enjoying a summer visit to her grandmother Lucy's home in Redbud Hollow, Kentucky - a sanctuary of herb gardens and mountain magic - Thea's world shatters when she awakens from a nightmare, somehow knowing her parents have been murdered in their Virginia home. When Sheriff McKinnon arrives to deliver the terrible news, Thea shocks everyone by describing details she couldn't possibly know: how the killer cut a hole in the sliding door, smothered her parents with pillows, and stole her mother's watch before planning to escape to Myrtle Beach in their BMW. She even provides a detailed description of Ray Riggs, the eighteen-year-old murderer with "straggly blond hair, very light blue eyes, a skinny nose, and crooked front teeth." In this moment of raw grief, Thea confronts an extraordinary ability that will shape her entire future - a psychic gift that runs in her family's blood, one her mother Cora rejected out of fear, but that Thea must now learn to embrace not just for her own sake, but to bring her parents' killer to justice.
