What an awesome experience it was to ride the train yesterday. They are finally putting in a commuter train in our area and have been doing free test runs for a few weeks now. Yesterday we gathered up the family, birthday gifts in hand, and took the train to my in laws house to celebrate Oma’s birthday. The baby bassets were not impressed with the sardine like conditions, but the free ride made it quite appealing. It was so nifty to see parts of the two counties I had never seen before. I have lived here all my life and never knew there were so many farms and beautiful stretches of open land. Living in the wine country I was convinced everything was nothing but grape vineyards. This was not the case at all. Rolling hills with beautiful oak trees still exists in my area. I would have taken pictures, but it was standing room only and I just didn’t want to fall on anyone. Next time.. I promise!

Shelby Nichols is an average woman whose life is organized and predictable. But the day she stops at the grocery store for some carrots, everything changes. As the cashier scans her purchases, a gunman is busy robbing the store. When shots ring out, Shelby finds herself face to face with the killer. The next thing she knows, she’s lying on the floor with a bullet wound to her head. Luckily, the bullet only grazes her scalp, and she doesn’t suspect any lasting effects until later, when she suddenly ‘hears’ what people are thinking. With this uncanny ability, her life takes on a whole new dimension. Her kids think she’s bossy and too old to understand them, but that’s nothing compared to her husband. He says he loves her, but what is it about the redhead at work that he doesn’t want her to know? As if that isn’t enough, the gunman knows she can identify him, and he’s out to silence her forever. In her fight to stay alive, she is saved from certain death by a handsome hit-man with ties to organized crime. This pulls Shelby even deeper into danger, where knowing someone’s thoughts can not only hurt her feelings, but get her killed.
