Mockingbird

About this book

Miriam is trying. Really she is. But this whole "settling down thing" that Louis has going for her just isnt working out. She lives on Long Beach Island all year around. Her home is a run-down double-wide trailer. She works at a grocery store as a check-out girl. And her relationship with Louis--whos on the road half the time in his truck--is subject to the piss and vinegar Miriam brings to everything she does. It just isnt going well. Still shes keeping her psychic ability--to see when and how someone is going to die just by touching them--in check. But even that feels wrong somehow. Like shes keeping a tornado stoppered up in a tiny bottle. Then comes one bad day that turns it all on her ear.
