This week's teaser comes from The One that I Want by Allison Winn Scotch. Tilly Farmer has the perfect life in the perfect town, married to the perfect man or so she thought until one day she gets the "gift" of clarity. The peeks into her future terrify and mystify her but she is helpless to stop the events. Isn't it enough she has to deal with an alcoholic father and her directionless and bitter sister, Darcy? How she comes to grips with changes in her life is a riveting and wonderful story. I really liked this one! 4**** In this teaser Tilly is watching her younger sister, Darcy, play the piano as Tilly's life is crashing down all around her. I want to pull her up and scream, "Don't you understand that if nothing changes, nothing will ever go astray!" But then she starts in on some bass notes, like a harbinger of my frustration, and I realize that of course it's too late; everything has already twisted loose, even if I can't pinpoint where or why or how it even began.
Great teaser! This is on my TBR list - I'm a fan of AWS.
