Rudy Tock paces between the ICU where his father lies dying and the maternity ward where is son is about to be born. At the very moment of his fathers death, his son is born. In the short minutes before his last breath Josef Tock predicts the very birth, weight and five days of in the future of his grandson.
The Tocks proceed for the next 20 years as a normal American family, then in his 20th year the first of the five predictions comes true and the Tock family is changed forever.

This is a page turner, and edge of the seat, mindlessly eat your popcorn, I wish this was a movie, kind of book. A must read for everyone. The suspence and twist and turns and the huge suprise toward the end is simply spine tingling.

Don't let this book go unread.
