A near-tragic accident. A life-changing phenomenon. A calling she couldn't foresee.Toronto, 1914. Avery Conlon's world turns upside down in an instant. Overhearing a comment that casts doubt on her blood ties with the mother raising her, the despairing twelve-year-old runs away--but ends up falling through a river of ice. Dragged out and on the edge of death, she awakens with secret, heightened powers of perception ... and a vision of a strange woman.Learning to navigate her new abilities to sense what others cannot, and dreaming repeatedly of a mysterious silvery boy, Avery vows to track down the truth of her past. As a young adult in the 1920s, she becomes a nurse at a hospital for the insane where her gift for healing leads to possible answers about her mother, Avery's second sight, and whether her uncertain future can include real love.
