Description
"Dayna Dunbar has Barbara Kingsolver's gift for portraying human weaknesses with warmth and compassion. Dunbar's strength lies in evoking magic of place and that inexplicable yet powerful connection between heart and home."—JANICE GRAHAM, author of Firebird Aletta Honor's psychic gift for reading people's futures seems to have vanished overnight. What is particularly curious is that the disappearance coincided with the mysterious visit of a Native American man bearing an eagle feather and a cryptic message. Then a cousin Aletta never knew she had—a young political revolutionary on the run—suddenly appears at her doorstep and shares a shocking secret about her family. One thing's for sure: Aletta's poised for change. Her no-good alcoholic ex-husband is stirring up trouble, a new lover turns out to be bad news, and she can't bear another day of lying to unsuspecting customers. As Aletta digs deeper into her family history, her mission becomes clear: If she ever hopes to regain her clairvoyance, she must go to New Mexico to uncover her great-grandmother Adelaide's fascinating and troubling past. So with some quirky friends dying for an adventure outside the confines of their small-town world, Aletta sets off for the Southwest, where she embarks on a quest that will uncover the origins of her special talent and the true meaning of life.
