The Seers of Seton House Robert Keith

Fraternal twin sisters, Jemimah Jezebel and Keziah Salome Fontaine, for brevity's sake, Jays and Sally, are born with a God-given mystical gift; they can hear the yet to be spoken and view the yet to be seen. Shortly after the end of the Civil War, they are drawn by this mysterious gift from their Kentucky home. They traveled first to Louisville then to the banks of the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri. At the Gateway to the West, their lives intertwine with three young men. Nathan Seton, from a prominent New York City family, is an itinerant musical prodigy awe-struck by the sights and sounds of his latest stop on his journey across America. Peter Carlisle, who saw his father's North Carolina plantation fall to ruin as a result of the war, is recovering from a mind-numbing year-long love affair with alcohol and opium. Zeke Valentine's last job bounce finds him in a dark and deserted riverfront warehouse, leaving the war-hardened Medal of Honor recipient penniless and homeless. The twin's compassion and care lifts their three new friends from the depths of despair. Then, aided by the gift, they are all guided through an adventurous maze of danger, intrigue, and discovery. The twists and turns of each story plot is woven with fine threads of wisdom, humor, and love; the traits of the characters. What might have happened to a president, an inventor, an explorer, a philanthropist, and more, is cleverly revealed. Read what actually happens!
