Shepherd’s Wife

“She bit down hard on her lip to stifle a scream of panic. It was Beau. He was waiting for her to come inside…he was waiting to meet her at the door. His evil thoughts poured from his mind like a nest of fire ants in Mina’s brain. In an instant, Mina knew everything that she was in store for if she turned that knob and continued on in.”

Mina Shepherd, an average suburban wife, lives with a secret: she can hear people’s thoughts. Her entire life, she has struggled to keep the voices of others out of her own head. Though the knowledge tempts her, she often finds the truth to be an unwanted burden. Between being psychic and being terrorized by her abusive husband, Beau, her life is a cage from which she believes she will never be freed. That is until she realizes hearing thoughts is only the beginning.
