Born to an unwed mother who abandons her as a baby, Rowan grows up possessing the strange ability to glimpse the future: births, deaths, fires, floods--and the rise to power of Henry Tudor. She is plunged into the dangerous intrigues that swirl around the king's divorce, attracting the malice of a churchman eager to advance his career by having her tried for witchcraft. The only way to prove her innocence is to delve into the mystery of her mother's disappearance--a trail that leads to the highest levels of the English aristocracy and to secrets never meant to be revealed. Second Sight is based on Mother Shipton, the famous Witch of York, a soothsayer who foretold events far in the future, including the Great London Fire, the wreck of the Spanish Armada, and the carnage of World War I.

Lorraine Hutton hasn't set foot outside her home in years. Why leave her lovely old Victorian house when she can have everything she needs delivered by a boy from the local supermarket? One day the boy shows up, not with her order, but with a cart full of orphaned kittens.13 of them! All starving, scared, sick---and about to cause a seismic change in Lorraine's life. Her own baby was ripped away when she was an unwed teen mother, and Lorraine determines that the same thing is not happening to the orphans--even if she has to overcome her terror of driving, turn her perfect house upside down and battle bureaucrats who want the kittens removed to a shelter. Unexpected allies emerge to join the fight: a retired vet whose kids want her in a nursing home; a wife fleeing an abusive husband; and a neglected young girl. Joining forces, they fight to save the kittens, discovering that this act of kindness will not only help the kittens' survive but will lead to dramatic changes in their own lives.

His sister, 12-year-old Owl, is along as watchdog and babysitter. The trip is fraught with perils: outlaws, storms, rockslides, train derailments. But a far worse danger awaits the children at journey's end-their child-hating Aunt Edna. Forbidden to go to school, Owl is forced to drudge from morning to night, while Matty is threatened with being sent to an orphanage. Only the quirky, mysterious lady next door, Chicken Annie, reaches out to help the desperate children. But when Annie breaks her leg and winds up in the hospital, Owl's aunt seizes her chance to cheat Annie out of her property and have her sent to a mental asylum. Owl's the only one who can help Annie-but if she does, her aunt threatens, Matty will be sold to an adoptive family. Somehow Owl must find a way to not only save Annie, but to escape from the house that's become a prison--and find a way back home.
