Mystic Meadow

Dear Mystic Meadow… opens another letter seeking advice from the online psychic. On the other side of the screen, Gypsea Lanson lives illegally with her disabled mother in a trailer park commanding a lake view. She applied for this gig out of boredom, only to ace every question on the web company's psychic test. Fate or not, she gets the job at the right time, because her old workplace becomes the scene of a crime—and Gypsea's a suspected accessory! The common sense with which she approaches her clients' problems can only do so much for Gypsea herself, regarded suspiciously by her neighbors and haunted by the fallout of the shooting.

She finds solace in Joseph Fowler, or at least with half of him. When he's gentle and loving, Joseph makes her feel valued, safe, even hopeful for the future. But Joseph has another side, and while Gypsea keeps her psychic job a secret to appease his Christian conscience, he's keeping secrets from her, too. Their exposure shatters Gypsea's vision for her life, and she must start anew her search for faith, love, and maybe even a career as a psychic.
