Speaking to the Unseen - Hardcover

by Marcia Preston (Author)

Unearthing family secrets can be a dangerous enterprise.

Diagnosed with a rare and fatal genetic disease, Chantalene is in a race against time. The maximum life expectancy of those with this particular disorder-passed down in through the maternal line-is thirty-three. With her thirtieth birthday looming, she knows the clock is ticking louder than ever.

Her last hope rests with Gamma Rose, her great grandmother. But there's a problem. A revered Romani seeress bearing the weight of uncounted secrets, Gamma Rose hasn't been seen in decades. Whispers abound that she's still among the living, but nobody knows exactly where she might be. Determined to unlock the mysteries shrouding her lineage and desperate for a chance at a full life, Chantalene embarks on a personal mission to find her and confront the shadows of her family's past. She is driven by two burning questions: Can Gamma Rose help her defy the spectre of impending and premature death? And what happened to Chantalene's missing grandmother, an enigmatic figure shrouded in whispers and mystery?

Facing loss, grief, deception, and betrayal, Chantalene makes a startling discovery-the existence of a hidden family she never knew existed. In a race against time and fate, she must confront the chilling truth that could alter her destiny forever.
