The Cascade Mountains in Washington State can be gorgeous, but they can also hide unseen enemies. Amid all that beauty and danger, reluctant clairvoyant Sarah Thompson once again takes center stage in a thrilling mystery. Compelled by her unruly sixth sense, Sarah finds a man left for dead on the side of a snowy mountain road. Her quick actions save his life. But the man can't remember a thing before that fateful, bone-cold night. Sarah's quest to unravel the mystery that surrounds the gentle amnesiac, conjures up a movie that plays in her subconscious, revealing a story of sex, deception, and death. Could it be a spirit trying to communicate? Derailing her efforts is the local sheriff who rejects her clairvoyance, finds her abilities suspicious, labels her a witch, and threatens her newfound life. Sarah and her husband, Conrad, are on their own in a perilous search for the truth.
Sarah Salas buried her clairvoyance at age six, bowing to her family's insistence that she become "normal". Sarah's struggle to suppress her abilities forced her into a lonely, isolated life. Now, her clairvoyance has burst out, and an irresistible psychic pull leads her to a collection of abandoned old photographs in the attic of her new home in the North Cascades. Through each photo Sarah relives the lives of the deceased residents of not only her house, but also its twin, the home of her neighbor Conrad Thompson. One by one, the photographs offer a fragmented tapestry of jealousy, incest, and murder. As Sarah explores the past, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Conrad. Alone most of her life, she's now surrounded by Conrad's loving family-alive and dead. Conrad may also hold the key to her future-if Sarah is willing to let him into her secluded life. THE GIFT OF THE TWIN HOUSES offers a past that, if accepted, might empower the future.
