"An Enjoyable Reading Experience" according to Constance McKee. “VisionSight” is an excellent reading experience! The premise is unique—being able to see the future in loved ones’ eyes—and Connie Lacy weaves this fun idea into a fascinating plot. She has created engaging, complex characters. Her writing is crisp, with just the right touch of lyricism. As an Atlanta resident, I especially appreciated the way she uses the Atlanta area setting to full advantage—enough to make it interesting, without being overdone. I.
