Set in 1973, when the concept of domestic violence barely existed, Second Sight is the haunting story of one family's web of violence and a woman's will to survive. Stoic Gabrielle Bissonette and Valley, her vulnerable sister-in-law, become close as they negotiate the increasing instability of Robert, Gabrielle's brother. A decade later, in journal entries woven through the gripping narrative, Gabrielle struggles to understand the tragedy she has survived and discovers the strength and forgiveness that grant her 'second sight.'
