The flight attendant working on her birthday. The mother struggling with two young children. The newlyweds off to their tropical honeymoon . The overworked father missing his kid?s big show. The young man returning from his best friend?s funeral. The ER nurse wondering what retirement will bring. All strangers. All unsuspecting. All on their own journey ? or so they imagine. Because they are each about to encounter an elderly woman. In just a few words, she will make a prediction, tying herself to them all. And, in being bound to her, these disparate strangers will be drawn together . . . Who is this woman? Is she a clairvoyant? A charlatan? The answer to prayers, or a harbinger of nightmares?
