From the author of the bestselling Kate Reid crime thrillers comes the story of a young girl with an extraordinary and frightening gift.
Riley Thompson has a gift no one would ever want. The ten-year-old girl from a small town in Indiana doesn't understand why she can feel what others feel or see what others have seen with a mere glance into their eyes. What she does know is the hurt and sacrifice seen in the eyes of her mother - the beneficiary of her father's recent run of bad luck. A streak that has hardened his heart and often finds him drowning in the bottom of a bottle.
However, the day Riley meets Vietnam veteran, Carl Boyd, all bets are off. Visions begin to surface of his terrible past, not just from war, but from a life that has stolen much from him.
Riley finds herself swimming in the horrific memories of Carl Boyd and experiencing a war he can't put behind him. What's more troubling is that she also perceives a future of which he doesn't yet know - a future filled with danger.
All those around her are reluctant to come to terms with Riley's ability, especially her father. But then, he has seen this before.
**Publisher's Note:** Robin Mahle has relaunched this novel, previously titled Inherent Clarity
Genre: Mystery
