But her gift is selective--she doesn't, for instance, see that she has an older sister who will come to join the family. As her \"pictures\" foretell various incidents and accidents, she begins to realize a painful truth: she may glimpse the future, but she can seldom change it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNor can Lizzie change the feelings that come when a young man named Louis, visiting Belhaven for the harvest, begins to court her. Why have the adults around her not revealed that the touch of a hand can change everything? After following Louis to Glasgow, though, she learns the limits of his devotion. Faced with a seemingly impossible choice, she makes a terrible mistake.
