Author Lila Dawkins has a secret: she experiences other people's powerful memories by touching objects that were important to them. But the stress of this special ability has a way of accumulating, and Lila makes increasingly frequent visits to her remote Wyoming cabin to mitigate the tension wrought by the constant chatter of people and their precious things. This time, when Lila arrives at her cabin to recoup, she finds her safe haven less than restorative. It's not only the death of an old friend that disrupts Lila's sanctuary or the surprising company of two new neighbors. Lila is also picking up signals from an unknown object somewhere in the vicinity, and the terrifying past events infused into the mysterious thing somehow connect them all ... Lila, her friend, and her neighbors. Carrying both her own burdens and those of others, is there any way Lila can let go of her past and future fears? Can she find a way to live-to thrive-Here & Now?
