This Other Way of Knowing

More about the book

Gifted with second sight-an intuitive ability to see things not accessible through ordinary perception-Margaret Meader is both an integral part of her Maine community and an outsider. Margaret's story (introduced in Other Wise) continues in This Other Way of Knowing. As the wheel of the year turns, October brings an early snowfall. When a body is found in the snow, Margaret works with Detective Jay Horner and his enigmatic partner, Cynthia Green, to help solve the murder. Her visions and dreams offer images, messages, and sudden insights-some more confusing than helpful. When the harsh light of media attention focuses on her and "this other way of knowing," Margaret revisits the pain of rejection that darkened much of her early life. In deciphering the echoes from her past, she finds succor in the many circles of connection woven into her present. Disparate elements draw Margaret into an ever-expanding mystery in book two of the series. A violent death. A flamboyant pretender. An elusive hermit. A stolen baby. A network of shadows. A circle of sisters.
