She lives a comfortable life in a small town in Ontario. Ros is active, loving, and artistic. And, she has second sight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a part of her nature with which she has trouble coming to terms: sometimes it is nothing more than a pleasant parlor trick, like knowing that King Edward will abdicate; sometimes it is a curse that makes her feel freakish; and sometimes it is just plain terrifying.
