About the author Chloe Benjamin is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Immortalists.
It is a deeply moving testament to the power of story, the nature of belief, and the unrelenting pull of familial bonds.

The Gold children--four adolescents on the cusp of self-awareness--sneak out to hear their fortunes.
If you knew the date of your death, how would you live your life? It\'s 1969 in New York City\'s Lower East Side, and word has spread of the arrival of a mystical woman, a traveling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the day they will die.
