| Did you ever wonder what it would be like to be able to tell what will happen in the future? Well, Marianne Waters knows. She firmly believes that what she "sees" is written in stone and can’t be changed and that this so-called "gift" is actually a curse. When after her best efforts her daughter’s best friend is killed in an auto accident, she picks up her life and moves herself and her sixteen year-old daughter, Gabrielle, to St. Louis, Missouri. There she finds an entire group of women with the same "gift", including one who firmly believes that God has chosen to speak directly to her.
What follows is murder, disbelief, and intrigue. Will Marianne come to terms with her curse? Will she fit in? And what will happen to Gabrielle, who inherited this "gift"? Add to this confusion several killings, lots of predictions, a disbelieving police detective who finds himself attracted to a woman who claims to "see" the future and you get Touch of Fate.
Well written, this novel moves quickly and easily from start to finish with well-crafted characters and a believable storyline. It doesn’t take a "fortune teller" to see that Christine Amsden will remain a strong voice in the literary community for years to come. | | |
