Life is full of unexpected twists. But what if you saw them coming? Flight attendant Allegra Patel loves her job, but on her twenty-eighth birthday, she’d rather not be calming passengers upset by a long delay. There’s a well-dressed man in 4C who fears missing his daughter’s musical, a harried mother juggling her baby and toddler, honeymooners still in wedding clothes dreaming of the future, and a chatty ER nurse longing for retirement. Suddenly, a woman stands and walks the aisle, predicting how and when passengers will die. Some dismiss her as a fake; others are delighted by promises of long lives. A few are appalled. Months later, the first prediction comes true.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Davis Public Library at 209 East Benton in Davis or call (580) 369-2468. The Davis Public Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
