Fleeing south with Mama, they change their names and make their new home at a desert store in New Mexico. Having inherited the Sight from Mama, Geena knew the store was to be her new home, and Cowboy Johnson, the owner, the good father she needs. Now she has protection and a family - and later, love at first sight - when she meets Ray Makepeace, grandson of William the Dude Makepeace. Over time, more psychic, Sighted misfit healers settle into Cowboy Johnson's Desert Store. But even gifted families carry both strengths and weaknesses, and the misfits have plenty of both.
