Totality

Astrid and Henry, two babies born at totality during the 2017 solar eclipse in Madras, Oregon are blessed, and cursed, with empathetic powers. Navigating childhood, adolescence, and the young adult years, with all of the discovery, romance, and heartache life has to offer is amplified when you're an empath. To her own detriment Astrid heals those she is in closest physical contact with destined to never develop the deep bonds she yearns for.
Henry is passed from family to family, holding people accountable for their true needs with his honest and easy temperament while never knowing what his own needs are. Unaware of the existence of each other and that their unique empath abilities work best when they're together, Astrid and Henry give themselves away to the wrong people again and again, until it's almost too late.
