First published 2013
Kate has spent years trying to live a normal suburban life in St. Louis, raising two young children and hiding the psychic abilities she was born with. Her identical twin sister Violet has chosen the opposite path, embracing her visions and working as a psychic medium. When a small earthquake strikes in the middle of the night, it disrupts more than just Kate's sleep. Violet appears on television to announce that a much larger, devastating earthquake will soon hit the St. Louis area. Kate feels mortified by her sister's public prediction, but she also fears Violet might be right. As the predicted date approaches, Kate must confront her complicated relationship with her twin and face the psychic gifts she has long tried to suppress. The sisters' different choices about their abilities have driven them apart, but the looming disaster forces Kate to examine what she truly believes about family loyalty, truth, and the responsibility we have to others.
