The Lace Reader / Brunonia Barry / 353 p.

Thrown in the mix is the fact that, like the other women in her family, Towner can see the future. The problem with that is that the signs aren't always clear and then misread.

I enjoyed the story and the characters and found the audio version quite enjoyable
