Sanctuary's Child (Paperback)

Emily Dowdy doesn't know anything about her mother or father, just their names, and that they're both dead. She feels like a terrible burden to her Uncle Frank and Aunt April, who took her in when she was a baby. A burden that only grows once Emily starts having strange hallucinations - she sees bruises on her body if her uncle maims the trees in their front yard, and she can feel the pain of animals suffering, even those whose poor carcasses lie in the freezer, ready to cook. Her relatives adore their perfect son, Frank, Jr., and make Emily feel like the worst kid in the world. Add to that the bullying she must endure at school and Emily's life becomes one of total misery and insecurity. Then, one day while her family is gone, Emily falls, and is rescued by a peculiar old lady, Miss Solitaire, who reveals that she has been watching over Emily for years. She tells the girl that she has inherited some very special powers. Can Emily accept the truth about herself? And if she does, will it help her find the acceptance she needs - from her own family?
