Sixteen-year-old Cassie sees a blurring glow around people who will die. After her grandmother's death, Cassie relocates to live with an aunt she's never met. As Cassie learns more about her family, she continues to explore the extent and meaning of her power. Nadol's novel avoids both sensationalizing and moralizing. Instead, it is a thoughtful dramatization of a fascinating philosophical conundrum.
