What is to say when you have an instinct, a dream, or a vision of things that they can't be real? A mother has an instinct about her children. A psychiatrist can interpret a dream. A visionary can visualize things to come. But have you ever wondered about the families of a person with the "gift of sight" or the people their visions touch?For as long as she can remember, Josie Bowheart has had two constants: her visions and Molly, her imaginary friend. Trying to survive in her dysfunctional family of an arrogant father, demanding mother, and a sympathetic brother, she has spent years in and out of mental institutions to "cure" her gift and make her conform to society's version of normal. By her twenty first birthday, she despairs of ever succeeding, but her brother James's gift of poetry provides the first flicker of hope for a path to either normal or acceptance. Which fork in the road does she take: normal by suppressing her gift through drugs or acceptance through strength, courage, and belief in her gift?In James Bowheart's professional life, he is a doctor-in-training, capable of greatness, but he believes in only scientific evidence. Anything else that hasn't been proven is of little value. Until one day, a lecture by a prominent professor provides the catalyst for a change in his thinking. Now his training is becoming enhanced by a higher level of belief in alternate reasoning. But his personal life is a mess. Battling a drug addiction, hanging out with enabling friends, and feeling an attraction to his pregnant divorced neighbor were just a few of his problems. Add in an accused mental sister, overbearing alcoholic father and cold emotionless mother to the mix and he begins to wonder what he can believe in. With each revelation in his professional and personal life, the bar shifts on his changing beliefs and his confidence is shaken.  Has he been arrogant in his cocky attitude that only scientific evidence was believable or has he been shown there are more spiritual things he needs to embrace?This book was excellent with a well written plot and well developed characters. Interesting from the first to the last page, there were few emotions that were not engaged. I loved how the poetry was weaved into the story, enhancing the different emotions or insights that the characters were experiencing. I gained a different insight for my personal life from all the different angles shown of Josie's "special gift". The secondary characters gave much added dimension to the story.I received a copy from the authors for an honest review.I would recommend to all romance readers.5/5 stars  If you believe, you can accomplish anything.
