Synopsis:

Born with the ability to know when death and endings are coming, Anna Sinclair is forced into silence as a child because of the fear it caused her family and community.

Years later, when Anna has a prescience that threatens her marriage, she is forced to move back to her mother’s home. When an old family friend lets slip that Anna’s long dead grandmother had had the gift too, Anna becomes obsessed with learning more about her. As the intimate decisions of five generations of her foremothers are illuminated, so too are the creative ways they found to hold their own in a world that isolated them.

Like a glass of pure water, the truth sparks in Anna a longed-for sense of self. But when buried secrets emerge that threaten to change everything for her mother, Anna must answer the question at last: which is more important: silence or truth?
