All Our Hidden Gifts

Caroline O’Donoghue

Maeve Chambers finds an old tarot deck while serving an in-school suspension and discovers that she is unusually good at interpreting it. Remembering the cards’ meanings comes more easily to her than her schoolwork, and classmates begin seeking readings from her. Fiona, Maeve’s first client, becomes a friend after Maeve’s break with her former best friend, Lily. A card called the Housekeeper seems to have no place in the deck, yet it reappears during a reading Maeve gives Lily. Lily vanishes that night, leaving Maeve frightened and concerned that Lily’s sibling, Roe, may learn about Maeve’s earlier cruelty toward Lily.
