Böcker av Dennis Gibb

Suppose you are a modern person in the contemporary world and find yourself possessed of a power that obeys no logic and resists scientific examination. You can't provide proof of your ability, and the timing of the fulfillment is uncertain, but what you foresee always happens. David McIntosh was a normal, healthy kid for his first thirteen years. All that changes when he sees a black spot on his best friend's head. An hour later, his friend dies. David takes on guilt for his friend's death but tries to get on with life.The grief fades, the future beckons, then the spots strike again--twice! On a sports star and the mother of one of his friends. Both die, and David is left reeling.Blessed on one hand by success in business and love, David is also cursed by his ability. David struggles to find meaning in his curse through loves lost, trauma, the death of friends and family, and hardship. When his Grandmother dies, she leaves a letter containing clues about where he might find answers, sending David and his wife on a quest. The journey reveals an ancient matriarchal Celtic faith, that his an da shelladh (2nd sight) has a long history in Scotland, and that the sight often passes within families. As time goes by, he's relieved that his ability doesn't seem to have passed on to another generation--or has it? Rich in the history of Scotland and ancient faiths, An da Shelladh is a saga of love, suffering, self-discovery, and finding meaning in hardship that will leave the reader asking, what would I do in that situation?
