Josephine Reilly is a young mother, striving to do what is best for her family in the picturesque suburbs of St. Paul, Minnesota. Declan, her ambitious and talented husband, has a thriving career as a corporate lawyer. On the surface, life could not appear more perfect.
Yet, Josie possesses an extraordinary gift – one that’s been passed down through generations of women in her family. Josie is a messenger, a conduit between the living and the dead, with the ability to receive messages through dreams, visions, and telepathy. For years, she suppresses her gift but when mother dies, she’s unable to ignore it any longer.
Upon exploring her ability, she soon discovers the spiritual world is treacherous terrain when she and her loved ones become targets of an invisible evil. But fate has a plan for Josie. Enter Dr. Andrew Chase, a supernatural healer with gifts of his own.
The Uncommitted is a gripping story of the battle between light and darkness, of the unbreakable bonds of family, and of the hidden realities that lie beyond our physical senses.
