The Genres for this well-written story are Family Life Fiction, Contemporary Literary Fiction, Para-Psychology, and Suspense. The Author vividly describes the plot, and the dramatic, colorful, dark, flawed, complex and complicated characters. The first time Will Banfield found joy in his life was when he marries Anne, and has a baby boy Quince. Tragically Anne passes away after giving birth, and Will is left to bring up Quince.

Will notices that Quince seems to visualize things that Will doesn’t see. He feels that Quince has precognitive and postcognitive abilities. Quince seems traumatized be seeing certain things, and Will seems to figure out that they are things that have happened in the past or that will happen in the future.

This is an exceptionally suspenseful, emotional, and thought-provoking book, that I highly recommend for other readers. This has twists and turns, and I appreciate how the author discusses the deep emotional family contact between father and son, love, and hope.
