The Weight of Echoes
One touch was all it took to change everything.
Seventeen-year-old Veronica Simon has the ability to see—thoughts, memories, and even secrets—when she touches people. She hides this power from everyone, even herself, but most of all, the cult-like Faith Fellowship Congregation her dad drags her to every Sunday.
Everything changes when she sees a disturbing vision of her estranged mom as she accidentally touches a Faith Fellow. Between that and her father’s uncharacteristic behavior, Veronica begins to realize something more sinister than lawyers and custody agreements have kept her mom away.
