When Brenda and Briley discover their great-grandmother was a seer, Brenda begins to wonder if she has inherited the gift of sight, herself. Her eagerness to implement this ability has her casting predictions for friends at a fortune telling booth, but the ability loses its luster when she is confronted with visions of danger. Both girls soon realize that the recent move to grandpa’s farm presents more than the usual demands of attending a new school and making new friends.
While Briley is supportive of her sister, she finds herself resenting the fact that it’s Brenda who has inherited great-grandma Ellen’s gift. This resentment, and the secrets Brenda expects her to keep, put a strain on their sisterly bond. Still, at the heart of the story is a strong sense of family, both past and present.
