Jessie Farquarson's husband is supposed to be dead. But for his estranged wife, his sudden disappearance is a reality she can neither accept nor escape. It had been a marriage made in spite, Jessie the Virginia blueblood bringing home her "white trash" husband Dwayne to throw in her mama's face. Why then does losing him haunt her so? Why is she convinced that Dwayne is still alive?
Following her missing husband's impossible trail, Jessie settles on a tiny island off the Washington coast. There her life is unexpectedly entwined with that of an equally impossible companion - the beautiful young psychic Phoebe Jewkes, whose ability to see into Jessie's life gradually unveils the bitterness and anger she has refused to face.
WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU is a tale as strange and wonderful as Phoebe's psychic powers. It is a journey through pain to honesty and self-awareness, a story of conflicting emotions and the tenuous bonds of family, friendship, and love that reaffirms the compelling power of Mary Elsie Robertson's unique voice.
