Jessica Atwood, a 29-year-old Black woman, is the protagonist of Groover’s paranormal thriller. She lives on a failing farm in Center Point, Texas with her brother and stepfather, and is plagued by visions that are both a blessing and a curse. If her premonitions are wrong, people may think she is mentally ill, and if they are right, it could mean disaster.
Despite the weight of the world on her shoulders, Jess is determined to use her gift to help others. Her mission becomes even more urgent when she starts to have visions of young women being kidnapped in her town. The story also follows Anna Mae Cole, Jess’ grandmother, as she navigates life in the 1960s with the same powers. Themes of generational trauma, family bonds, and finding one’s truth are explored in this captivating mystery. Jess must also contend with her farm, her neighbors, and mysterious men interested in buying her property. As readers follow the two women’s struggles, they will be drawn into an intriguing and well-paced plot.
