Althea was surveying frost damage when her granddaughter, Lizzie, saw her use her special power to heal the blackened basil plants. Lizzie was amazed and never forgot that moment. A.J. Jones, Althea had been out surveying the damage after an unusually late frost when Lizzie came up from behind. She couldn't have been more than seven at the time, but she had known instinctively to keep still, mesmerized by the strange intensity in her grandmother's face as she knelt beside a clump of blackened basil plants, and, with eyes closed, passed her calloused hands over them. She had murmured something then, tender words Lizzie couldn't make out. It was the first time she'd ever seen her grandmother's gift in action, but she'd never forgotten it.
