Faith, a successful author of suspense thrillers, has a personal mystery to solve. Isme, her ten-year-old daughter, is seeing things. Weird things that come true in bizarre ways. On her quest to find out what could be going on with Isme, several friends hint that her husband, Lance, needs watching. She ignores their suggestions until a second vision from Isme—a black cat on her parents' bed—directs Faith to physical evidence that Lance is having an affair.
Faith springs into action, putting her fictional sleuthing skills to work in real life. She has a weekend to gather clues before Lance returns from his annual convention. Surprises keep popping up, including the revelation that her grief over her stillborn son has been poisoning both her marriage and her relationship with God. Can she trust the God who broke her heart to fashion something good from the horror every married woman dreads?
