Not the soft language of self-help or the careful vocabulary of therapy. Actually changing - knowing things before they happen, feeling the people she loves like warm points of light behind her sternum, standing in a December river before dawn and finding something in the current that no one has a name for yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomeone does have a name for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey call it a catalyst. They've been managing catalysts for twenty-three years. Forty groups. Fourteen names.

The quiet Thursday nights in an honest space where something moved through a circle of people that Meridian Group would very much like to prevent from reaching full term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey call it anomalous cohesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarah calls it the barn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is a wellness hold, a fabricated psychiatric record, a county road on a Tuesday morning and a truck that crosses the center line with the deliberate patience of an instruction being executed. It is a ex-husband coached to express concern. It is a manila folder getting thicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also a woman who stood in a river and found out what she was made of.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd found out it could not be taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Cannot Be Taken\u003c\/em\u003e is the second book in the SEEN series - part paranormal romance, part thriller, entirely about what happens when people become more fully themselves than the world built around them was designed to allow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey have never let one reach full term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey were too late this time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad L.
