Frank and Joy Mobley have high hopes for their daughters, Grace, Mary Nell, and Eva.  They want them to have a good marriage and a fine profession.  The parents believe their daughters have just as much right for these things as others in the North.

Much to their disappointment, their daughters began to show signs of "seeing the unseen".  This was a gift inherited from their grandmother, a former slave.  They tried their best to discourage this "gift" but this is not something you can easily give back.  To the parents, this "gift" meant that the slave stigma has stayed with them.

Even after their parents try to discourage this "gift", the girls find themselves called on for advice and have a small following.

What do the girls see about their own future?  What does Mary Nell see regarding her sister, Eva? 

This is an interesting and mesmerizing story of the Mobley family.  Phyllis Alesia Perry is an award-winning newspaper editor and author of the novel "Stigmata".  She has done an excellent job of building her characters and they will stay with you for a long time.  This is an excellent book to read.
