“Sometimes I can hear my sisters, Ellie and Valerie, talking to me in my head. It’s rare, and it only comes in emotionally intense times – when we’re worried, scared, in danger, falling apart or when something perfect happens to us. All of the sudden, I hear them.

I do not know their day-to-day lives. I don’t know the minutiae of their thoughts. I don’t know if they’re making love or fighting with someone.

Some might say that we only think we can hear each other because we’re sisters, and best friends, and in tune with each other, that it’s nothing remarkable.

We know the truth.”

The three Kozlovsky sisters have inherited the family “gift” through their mother.

Toni Kozlovsky lives in a remodeled, yellow tugboat on the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. As a crime and justice reporter, she’s seen it all. As someone who escaped with her family out of Communist Russia, she sometimes feels the nightmares from her past won’t let her go – especially the shattering secret the whole family brought with them to America.

Toni’s sister, Valerie, is a prosecuting attorney and her other sister, Ellie, has a decorative pillow business. But it’s the popular family restaurant that makes the Kozlovskys well known in town. Called Svetlana’s Kitchen, for their eccentric, demanding mother, the food is delicious, but there are often unusual names for the dinner specials of the evening, depending on how Svetlana’s feeling about her family: My Children’s Makes Me Worry, Alexei Not the Boss, Elvira’s Bad Choice, Antonia Not a Criminal, and Valeria No Call Mama Enough.

Amidst wedding planning, falling in love, and many opinionated, “unique” relatives, who bring endless humor to the story, the family secret is unraveling, threatening to break the Kozlovskys apart.
