Dr. Elizabeth Freeland saw death every day in the emergency room and understood that a lifetime, no matter how long, was only a drop in the bucket in the endlessness of time. Yet her entire life was made up of decisions more numerous than the stars displayed before her. She was in her mid-thirties and knew her life was stalled. But Elizabeth had a secret gift. She knew instinctively that a reckoning was coming. When a catastrophe brought a certain police officer to her ER, her world began to spin out of control. What secrets lay hidden in the dark streets, and what had they to do with the handsome young doctor who had recently caught her attention? Elizabeth would soon discover that these were not ordinary people — and neither was she.
