She lives on Long Beach Island all year in a run-down, double-wide trailer. She works at a grocery store as a checkout girl. And her relationship with Louiswhos on the road half the time in his truckis subject to the mood swings Miriam brings to everything she does. It just isnt going well.

Still, shes keeping her psychic abilityto see when and how someone is going to die just by touching themin check. But even that feels wrong somehow. Like shes keeping a tornado stopped up in a tiny bottle. Then comes the one bad day that turns it all on her ear.
