What if you had a chance to see the future? Your own future? Would it be a gift or a curse?

Tilly Farmer is given this gift but she doesn't want it. Can she give it back?

Tilly is young, married to her high school sweetheart, has a job she loves and they're ready for a baby. Why does she need to see the future? Especially when she's seeing stuff she doesn't like? She's not had an easy life (her mother died of cancer and her father is an alcohaulic) so isn't she due an easy time now?

And its not only the future. She can also see with clarity things that took place in the past. Things that rock her very foundation.

I found this book intriguing. I loved the voice of it and the relationship between Tilly and her best friend, Susanna. I didn't like her husband and her younger sister drove me crazy!

As the first thing I've read by Winn Scotch, I was taken in and I'll certainly look for others by her.

I give it a high rating because its unlike anything I've read in awhile.
