Nancy Wix, daughter of the stage impresarios Eliza and Devil, must find a way to keep London's Palmyra theatre afloat, and to entertain audiences who have lost husbands and sons in the first World War. Nancy is a born performer, but she is set apart - even from her beloved brothers - by her psychic gifts. She must harness her troubling powers to keep her family and the theatre intact. It is a dangerous path and a lonely one, but Nancy's bold choices lead her to love, and beyond that to the recognition of what it takes to become a modern woman. As another war begins to threaten the world, she is forced into a final, fateful confrontation with her demons, and must marshal both her ingenuity and her mysterious talents to fight for the survival of friendship, independence, and family. 650 0 $a Young women $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychic ability $x Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Fiction. $y 20th century $x Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170331010337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61E38ECE15D711E7A58656E7DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
