Katrina is unique: her psychic powers allow her to recognize energy waves with her mind. But her ability comes with a price, and she must treat the symptoms arising from using it. While writing a letter to her daughter, Emma, as an apology for the stress Katrina put her through, she gets a call from her estranged father. He requests her to visit him in Washington DC. During the visit, her disciplined father opens up as he takes her to Arlington National Cemetery where he reveals two secrets. One is about her late brother, who passed from a rare brain cancer, and the other reveals why she has the ability. Her father details the events that happened to him as a young private where he was assigned to help recover the remains of a UFO crash near Corona, New Mexico. Events related to the assignment would have a great impact on him, and later, his family.

Conversations with victims of alien abductions indicate some common side effects and physical changes. People have claimed loss of time, emotional trauma, strange illnesses to include tumors or cancer, phobias, and night terrors. Most, if not all have some sort of implant, or mark on the skin, usually in the shape of triangle. Katrina exhibited none of those signs, making her abduction unique.
Book Excerpt
What Doesn't Kill Her
If Katrina had been abducted at the age of eleven, she had no recollection of the incident. There was no residual damage. She had no recurring nightmares, no phobias, no mental illness. Perhaps because it had happened at a young age, it impacted her memory. Not only were there no emotional or mental signs, there were no physical signs or marks on her skin.
