The dame with the sight
“Janey Philips has a gift of sight, an ability passed down to the eldest daughter of each generation. It is this gift or curse perhaps, that drove her own mother mad and has left Janey unwilling to trust in love... except in her dreams. Anxious for a new beginning, she decided to retreat to Wisteria Grove, an old empire within New York. Wisteria Grove belongs to Janey now, given to her by her maternal grandmother. Laurel feels the history and tragedy here, and amidst primeval beauty, she senses something undone people here knows about her grandmother's gift and treats Janey with the same reverence. Especially when she is able to help the police find a missing girl. It is then that she sees Justin Darwin, stranger, soulmate, then man who haunts her dream. But there is danger in Wisteria Grove, not from the restless past, but from the deadly present. Janey must be willing to trust her gift, her love for Justin and, most of all, herself to stop tragedy and history from repeating themselves.”
