Smoke and Mirrors
Rose Hernandez was a nurse before a fire killed her family and left her disfigured. Now she sometimes loses touch with reality. But at other times, she possesses the ability to foresee danger. In Smoke and Mirrors, Rose senses that a father and son are in terrible trouble. Can this small, scarred woman save them?
