Characters
In a society where only selected citizens can pursue a creative path, Willow is finishing her studies, anticipating entry to the Artist's Community. But her lifelong dream is in jeopardy.
Ironically, her artistic gifts may be what make her a natural for Vision Speak, catapulting her into the center of politics and intrigue in a way that will change her life direction forever.
A loyal citizen of the Republic, Willow discovers an inner world that she never knew existed, enabling her to sense and connect with others. When her mentor, Elzabeth, dies, leaving Willow her sealed Life Journals, she is watched by Republic agents, a dangerous cult and even her own family. Previously shy and introverted, she must draw on new reserves of strength to resist the various factions.
To further complicate her life, she falls madly in love and, of course, it's hopeless.
Aaron is a leader in the Vision Speak group. Chemistry ignites between Aaron and Willow from their first meeting at Elzabeth's Closure Ceremony but he is involved with sexy Jericho, a woman with hidden motives. 
Sophie is Willow’s outrageous and beautiful cousin.
Kalesh is only a teenager, yet both feared and worshipped by his people. Raised by a fanatic, he has been taught to strive for the end of times, death and destruction for all leading to glorious rebirth.
An intimidating and powerful woman, even at 101, Elzabeth is the matriarch for the Tyler line, former Republic spy, and founder of “Vision Speak”. Although she dies early in the book, Elzabeth and the journals she leaves behind continue to exert a strong influence throughout.
Simon is an enigma to some and just an oddball to others. A long time member of the group, his Vision Speak abilities are strong.
