The Newhouse Women
The women of the Newhouse clan are telepaths and healers. They are the descendants of a former slave, Olivia, who leveraged the family “gift” for her freedom and a hundred acres of land in the town of Holden, GA in the late 1800s. In the summer of 2004, one of the Newhouse women is brutally assaulted. Bonita Newhouse returns to the family home to aid her grandmother, Goddess, in identifying her sister’s attacker. Bonita must overcome her own fears to strengthen her powers and end the history of violence perpetrated against the Newhouse women.
