Seeing Things by Jana Richards

 In order to find a missing child, an embattled librarian must learn to trust her visions—and her heart.

 About the Book: As she is ‘seeing’ the actual abduction of a small boy, librarian Leah McKenna knows she must expose herself to trauma on several levels in order to save this child. She hates the visions and wishes for them to go away forever. David Logan, the boy’s uncle, doesn’t believe in much—particularly psychic phenomenon. In fact, he convinces himself she knows who took the child and plans to stick close in order to discover the boy’s whereabouts.

As the two search for Jeremy, they uncover truths about themselves, their torturous pasts, and the way they truly feel about each other. Leah must convince David that the visions, as well as her feelings for him, are real. All this while time runs out in their search for this missing six year old.

Our Review: In a break from her usual small town romances where strong families are at the core of everything, inventive author Jana Reynolds treats her fans with a new talent for writing edge of your seat suspense. In this case, a child abduction—fed by long standing greed and nourished by long standing family secrets—is filled with understated, profound grief and misunderstanding.

 Based on a scale of 1-5, Seeing Things merits a 6.
